    u combination. Messrs. Baker (High Holborn) are also agents for Zeiss, Reichert, and other German firms. It may appear unfair to mention the names of certain makers, and to omit the names of others. In a pi-actical book, however, it is evident that definite advice should be tendered. We recommend the microscopes the perform- ances of which we have had opportunities of judging. Other microscopes, of which we have had less experience, may possibly be as good as those recommended. Of more expensive microscopes, in addi- tion to several made by the before-men- tioned firms, the following are recommended as suitable for advanced students : Zeiss (Jena).—Stand No. V. a, with objectives A and D, and No. 3 ocular, costs £8 8s. Stand No. YIII., with similar ob j ectives and ocular, costs £ 6 5s. Stand No. II., with objectives 3 and 7, and two oculars, costs £7 10s.; and with No. 8 objective as well, £9 5s. Reichert (Wien).—Stand No. XI.f, with objectives Sand G, and one ocular, costs £7 19s. Nachet (17, Rue Saint Severin, Paris).—No. IX., with objectives 3 and 6, and two oculars, is an excellent instrument, and costs £G 10s. We are very ])leased with his No. XYIII., microscope portatif de cojage^ the cost of which is £8. Terick (2, Rue de la Parchemenaire, Paris) microscopes are good, but expensive. Hartnack's microscopes do not seem to be so popular as they formerly were in this country, since the business of the old firm has passed into other hands. We have not had much experience, of late years, of this model, which was formerly so excellent. As regards the higher class microscopes of many of the Fig. 9.—Star Micro- scope. Leitz (Wetzlar).-
