As a closing remark I may here appropriately allude to 
the principal donors of Shells to the Museum. From 
Dr. Tonnere, the Society has received many interesting 
Shells from the Society and Navigators’ Islands. From 
Messrs. Asphar and MacLeod, Shells from Penang and 
the Bay of Bengal. From Messrs. H. E. Strickland 
and Malherbe, Shells from Europe, especially land shells from 
the latter. From Messrs. Abbot and Strange, Shells from 
Australia; and others from New Zealand from Mr. Hart. 
From Mr. Lietard Shells from Mauritius and St. Diego, 
(California.) From Mr. E. L. Layard from Ceylon; and 
Shells from miscellaneous localities from Mrs. Thomas, Messrs. 
Von der Busch, Russel, Huffnagle, Mitchell, Robinson, 
Captains Halsted, Hutton, and others whose names may be 
miet with in the Catalogue.
