PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 467 
Mr. Chas. Hogg exhibited Testacella haliotidea, Drap., from 
Woodside, Paisley; and Mr. 8. M. Wellwood 7. scutulum, 
Sowerby, from Rosebank Nurseries, J ohnstone. At Rosebank 
carnivorous slugs had been known to occur for four years, and 
they have all, with a single exception, been found in the glass- 
houses. 
Rev. G. A. Frank Knight, M.A., read a paper, entitled 
“ Remarks on the British Testacellide.” 
297TH NovemsBer, 1898. 
Mr. Robert Kidston, F.R.S.E., F.G.S., President, in the chair. 
Mr, W. A. Donnelly reported at length on the visit of the 
Society to the Crannog at Dumbuck, and gave a description of 
the remains and articles of antiquarian interest that had been 
dug out there. An interesting discussion followed Mr. Donnelly’s 
remarks; and Mr. D. B. Duncanson showed, under the micro- 
scope, sections of various timbers taken from the piles of the 
Crannog. 
A rare moss, Catharinea tenella, Roh]., sent by Professor E. 
M. Holmes, F.L.S., was exhibited by Mr. G. F. Scott Elliot. It 
had been discovered at Gondhurst, Kent, by Mr E. 8. Salmon, in 
company with Sir John Stirling and Mr. W. E. Nicholson. 
According to Professor Holmes, Mr. Salmon says that apart 
from the difference in the inflorescence (dioicous in C. tenella, 
Rohl., paroicous in C. undulata, W. and M.) it is difficult to 
separate it from C. wndulata, var. B minor, W. and M. 
C. tenella has, however, the leaves scarcely undulate and dull 
green. Only the male plant of C. tenella, W. and M., has yet been 
found in Kent. 
Mr. W. Anderson Smith, corresponding member, read a paper, 
entitled “Fish and Fisheries of Chili.” 
A paper by Mr. James M‘Andrew, corresponding member, 
entitled “ Botanical Notes from Galloway for 1897-8,” was held as 
read. (See page 321.) 
27TH December, 1898. 
Rev. G. A. Frank Knight, M.A., Vice-President, in the 
chair.
