80 PROCEEDINGS OF THE MALACOLOGTCAL SOCIETY. 



It contains 31 pages of letterpress and two plates, besides illustrations 

 in the text. 



Your thanks are dne to the following gentlemen, who have borne 

 a large proportion of the expense of the illustrations : — Lt.-Col. H. H. 

 Godwin-Austen, G. B. Sowerby, Martin F. Woodward, H. Fulton, 

 and E. E. Sykes. A second number, containing the papers read up 

 to January 12th, 1894, is now in course of preparation, and will, it is 

 hoped, be very shortly in the hands of the members. 



The earlier meetings were held at 67, Chancery Lane, and the 

 later ones at Burlington House. Your best thanks are due to 

 Messrs. Schofield and Harris for the use of their room in Chancery 

 Lane, and to the Council of the Linnean Society, through whose 

 kindness we are now permitted to use their meeting-room. 



The papers read at these meetings either have been, or will be, 

 noticed in the ' Proceedings.' 



An important feature of the meetings has been the exhibits, which 

 have been both numerous and valuable. 



Now that, thanks to the Linnean Society, this Society has the 

 use of an admirable meeting-room, conveniently situated, it is 

 earnestly hoped that members will attend the meetings as frequently 

 as possible, and that they will avail themselves of llule IV., which 

 permits members to introduce their friends. 



In conclusion your Council would point out that the welfare 

 of such a Society as the Malacological depends very largely on 

 keeping up and increasing the membership ; and they would urge 

 upon members the desirability of making the aims and objects 

 of the Society well known to all their friends and correspondents 

 who are students of Malacology." 



On the motion of Mr. E. A. Smith, seconded by Mr. W. Mark 

 AVebb, the Report was adopted as the Annual Beport of the Society.
