360 PROCEEDINGS OF THE SCIENTIFIC ASSOCIATION. 



8. R. J. Lechmere Guppy, F.G.S. & L.S. Further addi- 

 tions to the catalogue of Land and Freshwater Molluska of 

 Trinidad. 



9. Henry Prestoe, Government Botanist. Catalogue of 

 Plants in the Botanic Garden. 



The latter paper which is a valuable contribution to our 

 stock of knowledge relative to this Island, will appear in the 

 next Part of our Proceedings. As it will occupy much space, 

 special arrangements have been made by which the expense 

 of printing will not fall on the Association. 



Donations of various publications have been made by the 

 Sociedad de Ciencias of Caracas, and the exchange of our 

 respective proceedings has been agreed-to by that Society and 

 ourselves. It is much to be wished that other scientific bo- 

 dies in this part of the world, of which there are unfortunately 

 but few, would similarly unite with us in the diffusion of 

 valuable information. 



Allusion has already been made as to our having obtained 

 a place of meeting in a public building. Our accommoda- 

 tion.- are, however, anything but satisfactory, and it is to be 

 hoped that before long better arrangements on this point will 

 be made. 



I should bring under the notice of the Association the ne- 



-ity which will soon arise for binding the papers and books 



presented to the Society, and of adopting sum,' rules whereby 



Buch donations may be made more accessible to the members 



for reading and reference.
