Specimens of the same shell were exhibited on behalf of Mr. A. S. 

 Kemiard, who wrote that he found the species at the beginning of 

 April, living in abundance at Herne Bay, Kent. All the examples 

 were collected between half-tide and low-water marks, and were 

 found in burrows about six inches long. The only other mollusc 

 he found living with it was Pholas candkla, Linn., but this was 

 by no means so abundant. As to the extent of its distribution, he 

 could not speak definitely, but he traced it for at least two miles 

 in an easterly direction, and it would probably be found in a westerly 

 direction beyond Whitstable. From its abundance, and from the 

 extent of the colony, there could be no doubt hut that it had been 

 established there for some time, whilst the proximity of Whitstable 

 was very suggestive as to the means of its introduction. Its super- 

 ficial resemblance to Pholas Candida, Linne, was most probably the 

 reason why it had previously been overlooked, and he suggested that 

 search be made for it in similar localities. 



Mr. W. Crouch further exhibited a portrait of Miss Jane Saul 

 ('«. 5 Dec. 1807, oh. 2 Sept. 1895), the last of the old shell-collectors, 

 and the friend of many conchologists, in whose honour the following 

 species (examples of most of which were shown) had been named : 

 1, Schizodesma Saulice, Gray (1838); 2, Murex Saulice, Sby. (1840); 

 3, Cyprma Saulice, Gask. (1843); 4, Cistula Saulice, Sby. (1843); 

 5, Triton Saulice, Rve. (1844); 6, Helix Saulice, Pfr. (1845); 7, liar- 

 ginella Saulice, Sby. (1846); 8, Nausitora SaidicB, Wright (1866); 

 also the genus Saulea, Gray (1867), for S. vitrea (Born). 



Mr. S. Pace exhibited specimens of Columhella compta, Lischke, 

 and C. ple\(,rotomoidcs, Pilsbry, both from Japan, and pointed out 

 their specific identity. 



Mr. B. B. Woodward exhibited a microscope slide of Phyllirrlwe. 



Mr. A. Leicester exhibited photographs of Port Erin Bay, and 

 of the Marine Biological Station there ; also various British marine 

 shells, including a species of Peden, the specific identity of which 

 was uncertain. 



Mr. R. Bidlen jSTewton exhibited, on behalf of Sir R. Bawson, the 

 original coloured drawings of the shell and animal of Plcurotomaria 

 Quoyana, F. and B., from which the figures in the " MoUusca of 

 the Blake Expedition " were taken. 



Mr. E. A. Smith exhibited specimens of Helix hortcnMs, Miill., 

 of a thin, unicolorous form, with rather thick periostracum, from 

 Brown Cow Island, in Casco Bay, near Portland, Maine ; also 

 specimens in illustration of his paper. 



Mr. G. B. Sowerby exhibited a specimen of C'o7ius gloria-maris, 

 Chemn. ; also specimens of Spondylns auranfiiis, Lamk., and S. zonalix, 

 Lamk., to illustrate their specific identity; also a monstrosity of 

 Hdicella cantiana, Mont. 



Mr. E. B. Sykes exhibited a specimen of Amastra Knudscni, 

 Baldwin, from Kauai, Hawaiian Islands. 



Specimens were exhibited by Messrs. J. E. Cooper and J. Cosmo 

 Melvill in illustration of their respective papers.
