Exhibits were placed on the table by the following : — 



E. A. Smith : A small collection of mollusca from Victorialand, 

 made by the staff of the " Southern Cross." The forms collected bore 

 a great resemblance to Kerguelen shells, many being specifically 

 identical. 



The Rev. R. Ashington Bullen : Molluscan remains from a chalky 

 boulder-clay at Haleworth, some being derived from the Lower Lias, 

 others from the Oxford Clay and Oolitic Sands ; specimens of Helix 

 pomatia with an unusual form of epiphragm, and others crushed by 

 some animal, possibly a hedgehog, in order to extract the snail. 



A. S. Kennard: Living Physa heterostropJia, Sars, and Planorbis 

 dilatatus from Dukinfield, Lanes., where they are found in great 

 numbers in the canal, probably being introduced into this country in 

 bales of cotton ; specimens of Valvata piscinalis (Mull.), belonging to 

 the form known as V. naticina, Menke, from the Pleistocene of 

 Swanscombe. 



5. Pace : A large series of Columhella J?ssin(/tone?isis, Rve., Cyllene 

 orientalis, A. Ad., and Isanda eoronata, A. Ad., from Friday Island 

 Passage, Torres Straits, the components of each series collected on 

 the same clay and at the same spot illustrating the great variability of 

 the species exhibited.

 respective papers.
