the British Museum, these being all I have been able to 
unearth. All gave me the impression of being reprints, 
but having at last been able, by the courtesy of Mr. O. E. 
Janson, to inspect a complete copy, unbound, in the exact 
state in which they were distributed at the Meetings and 
received by his late father, 1 found that they all agreed in 
every respect, including the lettering at the foot of the 
pages and the fact that the third sheet was numbered II, 
like the second, the fourth being, however, numbered IV, 
as in the other copies. These sheets never came into the 
hands of Messrs. Longmans & Co., and Messrs. Taylor & 
Francis can find no record of them, though entries in the 
old Minute Books show that they were printed by the 
former representatives of their firm. The sheets were ten 
in number and their contents were as follows :— 
I. The year 1840. 
Il. Jan. 4th, 1841—end of description of Nigidius grandis, July 
5th, 1841. 
III. Rest of July 5th, 1841—end of description of Monohammus 
mixtus, Noy, 1st, 1841. 
IV. Rest of Noy. Ist, 1841—definition of genus Anodonta, April 
4th, 1842. 
V. Rest of April 4th, 1842—end of Aug. Ist, 1842. 
VI. Oct. 3rd, 1842—nearly end of Nov. 6th, 1843. 
VII. Rest of Nov. 6th, 1843 (6 lines)—middle of the description 
of Ploiaria bispinosa, July 1st, 1844. 
VIII. Rest of July Ist, 1844—nearly end of July 7th, 1845. 
IX. Rest of July 7th, 1845 (8 lines)—end of 1845. 
X. The year 1846. 
The old Minute Books show that Sheet I was published 
June 7th, 1841, the only other mentioned being a “ uew 
part” on Dec. 4th, 1843; this might from its contents 
have been either V or VI, but an entry on Oct. 7th, 1844, 
shows that up to that time only five sheets had been 
printed, so that this date (Dec. 4th, 1843) must refer to 
Sheet V, containing the Proceedings up to Aug. 1842. 
Notices of the printing of these Proceedings are given on 
the covers of the various parts of vols. i, iv, and v, 
as follows: Vol. iii, pt. 1 (published Jan. 27th, 1842) 
announces Sheet I (published six months previously !) 
and states that the Proceedings for 1841 are in the Press ; 
pt. 2 (published Sept. 2nd, 1842) announces those for 
1840 and 1841, those for 1848 being in the Press; this
