1 6 PEOCEEDINGS OF THE 



in our Islands. It belongs to the Subglahrce, and is undoubtedly 

 closely allied to alpestris. 



The other non-British species are — under section Hirsutce ; 

 A. pastoralis, Buser, leaves pilose above, pedicels glabrous ; 

 A. micans, Buser, with the veins on the under leaf-surface 

 shining ; A. suhcrenata, Buser, leaves much less hairy above and 

 teeth broad and obtuse ; and A. acutangula, Buser, with long, 

 more or less acute, leaf-lobes. 



Under Suhglahrce, comes A. ohtusa, Buser, which is close to 

 acutidens but has broader leaf-lobes and teeth, and sepals and epi- 

 sepals broader and shorter ; and A. glomendans, Buser, with 

 flowers in somewhat close heads. 



Prom the careful maps, prepared by Dr. Lindberg, showing the 

 distribution of these various forms, it will be seen that Great 

 Britain may yet claim some of them as true natives. 



Mr. P. N. Williams, Mr. James Groves, and Dr. Otto Stapf 

 engaged in a discussion, and Mr. C. E. Salmon replied. 



Prof. Dekdt, P.E.S., then gave a summary of his paper on the 

 Calcareous Sponges collected in the Indian Ocean on the Percy 

 Sladen Expedition under the leadership of Prof. J. Stanley 

 Gardiner ; he stated that of more than 400 species of Calcarea 

 known, the present collection consisted of 13 species, several of 

 which were new to science, a very satisfactory result, considering 

 that the expedition was not primarily devoted to collecting close 

 to the shores of the islands visited. 



Prof. J. Stanley Gardiner added further remarks on the localities 

 visited, and the range of some of the species, followed by a few 

 additional remarks by the author. 



A paper entitled " On Emhia major, sp. nov., from the Hima- 

 layas," by Dr. A. D. Imms, P.L.S., was read in title, in the absence 

 of the author. 



The next paper, by Dr. J. D. P. Gilcheist, on the larval stages 

 of Jasus Jalandii (Milne-Edwards), was read by Prof. G. C. Bourne, 

 P.E.S., Sec.L.S., and commented on by the Eev. T. R. E. Stebbing 

 (who showed specimens of the three stages), Dr. W. T. Caiman, 

 and Prof. Dendy. 



The last paper, by Mr. E. S. Bagnall, " On the Classification 

 of the Oi'der Symphyla," was read in title, the author not being 

 present.
