Microscopy; Microscopes; Medical microscopy. 434: EVENINGS AT THE MICEOSCOPE. tion takes the i^lace of Dorset; Kent is immensely prolonged; the bladder has quite disappeared, &c.; but it is impossible to follow these changes, which are ever going on without a moment's intermission, and without the slightest recognisable rule or FOBMS OF AMCEBA. Successively drawn from one individual. The projections are obliterated or exaggerated; the sinuosities are smoothed, or deepened into gulfs, or protruded into promontories; firths form here, capes there; not by starts, but evenly, and with sufficient rapidity to be appreciable to the eye while under actual observation; though the alterations are more striking if you take your eye oif the object for a few seconds, and then look again ; and still more so, if you try to sketch the outline. Individuals vary greatly in dimensions; this specimen is about one hundred and twentieth of an inch in long diameter, but others I have seen not more than one-tenth as large as this, and some, twice as large. Disregarding now this peculiarity of change of form, which has procured for it the name of the old versatile sea-god that was so difficult to bind, we will concentrate our attention on some other points not less.
