12 PROCEEDINGS OF THE MALACOLOGICAL SOCIEXV. 



my drawings were published. Figures very similar to these were 

 published later by Lieut. -Col. Godwin-Austen, in pt. 8, vol. ii, of the 

 " Mollusca of India," with these remarks : "I illustrate the anatomy of 

 Microparmarion with my original drawings (those in the P.Z.S., 1895, 

 being copies of tliem)." I have elsewhere (I, p. 304) pointed out 

 the incorrectness of this statement, and on September 21st, 1902, 

 Lieut.-Col. Godwin-Austen himself wrote to me acknowledging that 

 the P.Z.S. drawings were the original ones, and made by me from my 

 dissections. I therefore not unnaturally feel aggrieved to find in 

 these " Proceedings," vol v, p. 312, that he again states, in a footnote, 

 that the figures in the " Mollusca of India" are his original drawings, 

 while those in the P.Z.S., pis. xi-xiv, were copied from them. In 

 justice to mj-self, I must again correct this misstatement of fact. 



The second point is the charge of misplacing the specimens in the 

 bottles at the British Museum. When I re-examined the material 

 which formed the subject of the above-mentioned conjoint paper, I 

 found it exactly as Lieut -Col. Godwin- Austen returned it to me, and 

 in which condition it left my hands in February, 1894, viz. in perfect 

 order, and in such condition I left it. It has since been examined by 

 Lieut.-Col. Godwin- Austen, and if he left it as he found it the 

 material is still in perfect order.
