Address to the Lincolnshive Naturalists’ Union. 115 
110, including six species which during the same year had been 
added, viz., Hyalinia lucida and Paludestrvina jenkinsi by Mr. Carter, 
Pupa secale and Pyvamidula vupestris by Messrs. Worsdale and 
Preston, and Pisidium henslowanum in the Ancholme by Mr. 
Peacock. 
In this year also, our energetic secretary, Mr. Arthur Smith, 
F.L.S., F.E.S., whose attention had been previously directed to 
the study of the marine mollusca of the coast, began to co-operate 
in our work and has continued it ever since with much success. 
In 1903, the curiously irregularly appearing shell Amphipeplea 
glutinosa turned up again in the county, this time at Tetney. 
In 1904, Azeca tvidens was taken near Louth by Mr. Carter, 
it being one of the expected ones, and in the same year Mr. 
Thomas Stow, who, with his daughter Miss Catherine Stow, 
had taken up the study, found a colony in South Lincolnshire of 
the remarkable white variety of Helicigona lapicida. 
In our Transactions for 1905, Mr. C. S. Carter published 
the third general list of Lincolnshire non-marine mollusca, giving 
numerous records with details for 110 species and a great 
number of varietal forms. 
A year later, in the Transactions for 1906, Mr. Carter 
published a list of additions, chiefly locality-records, including 
many by Mr. John F. Musham. 
In 1906, under the new arrangements for the management 
of the Lincoln Museum, our friend and secretary Mr. Arthur 
Smith, was appointed Curator, and to him the Museum owes 
much. It is gratifying here to note that it is being kept strictly 
devoted to local archzology and natural history, and it is to be 
hoped that now that we have a central museum under proper 
control and well-officered, our Lincolnshire men will look upon 
it as the place to which all local antiquities and natural history 
specimens should gravitate. Too many important objects and 
collections of peculiarly Lincolnshire interest have been lost for 
want of such an institution as this. One only this last year, 
although it is in good hands and only just over the border, ede 
to have been secured for our own Museum.
