E. A. Smith, 



Wii'H mucli regret we also have to record the death, at a good 

 old age, of Dr. James C. Cox, of Sydney, New South Wales, wliich 

 occurred ou September 29th of last year. He became a member of 

 the Society in 1893, and contributed one paper, the last from his pen, 

 to our Society's "Proceedings". 



Dr. Cox was a leading member of the medical profession in Sydney, 

 where he had resided for many years. His writings have chiefly 

 been upon the Pulmonata of Australia, and altogether he was the 

 author of thirty-seven diiferent papers, practically restricted to the 

 description of the Australian fauna. 



His most important work is the Monograph of Australian Land 

 Shells, published at Sydney in 1868, consisting of 111 pages and 

 illustrated with 20 C(doui'ed plates. The nomenclature in this book 

 is of course quite out of date, but the distribution of the then known 

 species is recorded, and the illustrations are very useful. Fourteen 

 of his papers are descriptive of marine forms, especially the genera 

 Cyprcea and Voluta, but he also wrote upon the Oysters and Octopodidoe 

 of Australia, and other genera of which he described new species are 

 Haliotis, Recluzia, Chiton, and Cytherea. 



The principal journals in which his writings occur are the 

 Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London for 1864, 1865, 

 1866, 1867, 1869, 1870, 1871, 1872, 1873; the Annals and Magazine 

 of Natural IHntory, 1864; Proceedings of the Llnnean Society of 

 New South Wales, 1880, 1882, 1883, 1888, 1889, 1890, 1894, 1895, 

 1899. Two papers were published in the Journal de Conchy liologie, 

 1866 and 1871. 



He possessed a xevy extensive collection of shells chiefly from the 

 Australian continent and the Pacific islands. This was sold in 

 London in 1903-5, and the British Museum was fortunate in 

 obtaining many of the types of the species described by him. Among 

 the rarities comprised in the collection were Cypnea Valentia, 

 Thatcheri, and venusta, Voluta TFisemani, Bedtialli, Brazieri, 7'issotiana, 

 canaiiculata, and conifonnis, Mitra Rossice, and Covins gloria-maris. 

 These valuable shells are now distributed in the J. J. MacAndrew, 

 Dautzenberg, Melvill, Prince Salm Salm, and British Museum 

 collections E. A. Smith.
