away 3rd May, 1902.

Society on ‘The Molluscan Larva in Classification,’ Mr. J. E. 8. 
Moore delivered a lecture, illustrated by lantern slides, upon the 
problem presented by the presence of marine forms of Mollusea and 
other animals in Lake Tanganyika. After a short summary of the 
questions involved in the problem, he gave an account of the structural 
features of the country in the region of the great African lakes, in its 
bearings upon the probable source of the marine forms of life found in 
Lake Tanganyika. 
After some remarks by the President, Dr. Henry Woodward, 
Dr. Blanford, and others, a vote of thanks was passed to the lecturer.
