SHANDON – THE SPIDER
This was the title of an interesting lecture delivered by the Rev Campbell Gullan, FGS, Glasgow, on Friday evening last.
The audience was a large one, and they were very much entertained by the admirable way in which the subject was treated, several microscopic views being shown to illustrate the lecture.
The chair was occupied by the Rev Mr Miller, who proposed a vote of thanks to the lecturer at the close.
