and the results published two or three years ago in Proc. 

 Linn. Soc. 



Our best thanks are due to Mr. Edgar A. Smith, F.Z.S. 

 of the Zoological Department, Mus. Brit, South Kensington, 

 for his ever-ready help and assistance. To Mr. W. T. 

 Blanford and Mr. Henry Blanford* we are also indebted 

 for information and advice on several points, and also to Mr. 

 R. D. Darbishire, of Manchester, for the loan of an interesting 

 little collection of Bombay Shells found about five years 

 ago by Mr. Herford. 



The collections, a catalogue of which is now given, were 

 formed by Mr. Alexander Abercrombie during the years 

 1888— 1892.

* It is with unfeigned regret that we have to record the death of Mr. Henry 

 Francis Blanford, F.R.S., which occurred at Folkestone on January 23rd, 1893, 

 while these pages were under process of revision. Mr. Blanford will be remem- 

 bered not only on account of his eminence as a student of Mollusca, especially 

 those of India, but also as being for many years Meteorological Reporter to 

 the Indian Government.
