    ANATOMICAL SOCIETY OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. An Ordinary Meeting of the Society was held on Tuesday, November 22, at University College, London, at 5 p.m.—Professor Humphry, F.R.S., President, in the chair. Present—Thirty-three members and visitors. After the minutes of the last meeting had been read and confirmed, the following gentlemen were elected members of the Society :—John Malet Purser, J. Alfred Scott, Francis Heuston, Professor Redfern, E. H. Bennett, Professor Pye, James Chambers, F. Wardrop Griffith, Campbell Williams, Percy Flemming, Edgar H. Thane, Sinclair Long, and Ambrose Birmingham. The following were then announced for election at the next meeting :—Stanley Boyd, T. E. Little, J. Torrens, and Alfred Banks. Dr Mott then read his paper on The Minute Anatomy of Clarke’s Column of the Spinal Cord of Man, the Monkey, and the Dog, which will be printed in extenso in the April number of the Journal of Anatomy and Physiology, vol. xxii. (n.s. vol. ii.), and was illustrated by numerous histological specimens and micro-photos of specimens. Dr Alex. Hill was surprised at the measurements of the cells of Clarke’s column given by Dr Mott, and in speaking of their develop- ment, said they appeared after those of the anterior column. Professor Charles Stewart asked what fibres proceeded from th<\ cells which Dr Mott had drawn. Dr Mott replied that his method was calculated to show the exact size of the cells, and that they all had fibres. Professor Bertram Windle then read a paper on the Arteries at the Base of the Brain, which paper is printed in extenso in the Journal of Anatomy and Physiology, vol. xxii. (n.s. vol. ii.), p. 289. Mr Black spoke of a case in which the internal carotid made a complete spiral before entering the skull. Professor Alex. Macalister mentioned cases of divided basilar artery, and said the evidence went to show’ that all median arteries were formed by fusion. b
