PROCEEDINGS OF THE MALACOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 185 



5. " Streptosti/lus pallidas, noin. nov. for 8. Jlavescens, Da Costa." 

 By S. I. Da Costa. 



Since the publication of the August number of the Proceedings of this 

 Society I have discovered that the specific name jlavescens, therein given 

 by me to a new species of Streptostylus (ante, p. 66), must be changed, 

 since it has been already employed by Shuttleworth fur another member 

 of the genus. I propose, therefore, to rename my species S. pallidus. 



Exhibits were placed on the table by the following : — 



The Rev. R. Ashington Bullen : Some molluscan remains from the 

 Grault of Folkestone, and a series of recent shells that had been 

 inhabited by hermit-crabs. 



E. R. Sykes : A large series of shells of Achatinella apicata, showing 

 colour variations ; examples of a new British shell, referred to the 

 genus Myrina, found attached to the skull of a whale, which had been 

 dredged in deep water in the North ; and shells of Succinea oblong a. 



A. S. Kennard and B. B. Woodward : Specimens of Vivipara 

 Clactonensis (Wood), from the Pleistocene of Swanscombe and of 

 Clacton. 



M. F. Woodward : A collection of shells from Inishbofin, co. Mayo, 

 comprising some very dark varieties of Helix aspersa from the sand- 

 dunes, a very large Area tetragona, and other marine forms, all tending 

 to show the large size attained by the mollusca in that region. 



E. A. Smith: Specimens of the rare Conns clytospira.
