Abstract
I. IN taking the chair at the first general meeting of the Scottish Microscopical Society, I would offer to the members my hearty thanks for having done me the honour to choose me as the President under whom the work of the Society is to be inaugurated, and during whose incumbency the Society is to begin to substantiate its claim to have an existence amongst the scientific Societies in Scotland.

The value which was attached to these memoirs at the time may be estimated by the fact that the Royal Society of London awarded to their auhor in 1839 one of the Royal Medals. The neglect into which Dr. Barry's writings have since fallen is largely due to the disbelief in his subsequent descriptions of the sprial structure of muscular fibre, of blood-corpuscles, and indeed of the elements of the tissues generally.
