Mr. B. B. Woodward, F.L.S., exhibited a number of glass tubes 

 which were found after a time to be covered with condensed moisture 

 on the inner surface, although the aperture had not been sealed or 

 closed with cork, but only with cotton wool. He believed this to be 

 due to an inherent defect in the glass itself, but he was taking steps 

 to find out the cause, and promised to communicate the result. 



Mr. R. B. Newton exhibited specimens of Ampullaria ovata, with 

 opercula of that species, and Lanistes carinatm from a Miocene
