NOTE. 



Additions to the Mollusca of South Wilts. 



The following are not recorded in the Census of the Conchological Society 

 for South Wilts, and were collected near Salisbury by my friend, Mr. J. R. 

 Longhurst : — Succinea elegans, L. palustris, P. vortex, P. contortus, Valvata 

 piscinalis, Bythinia tentaadata, Physa fontinalis, Anodonta anatina, and Sph. 

 cornettm. It is very probable that Mr. Longhurst will find many other species, 

 as, excepting the above additions, only five species are enumerated. — E. W. 

 Swanton, Doddington. 



EDITOR'S NOTES. 



We are pleased to hear of a proposal to form a Conchological Society in 

 Somerset, which we trust will be successful. Conchologists interested in the same 

 are requested to communicate with Mr. E. W. Swanton, Doddington, Sitting- 

 bourne, Kent. 



Owing to various causes — one being Dr. Scharff s absence from home — -a number 

 of papers are unavoidably compelled to stand over until the September issue. 

 That, and all future numbers will, where necessary, be illustrated. 



During the past quarter various suggestions have been received regarding the 

 Bibliography (Current Literature). While every effort is made to make this 

 department as complete as possible, articles in Scientific and Local Natural 

 History Societies' proceedings often escape our notice from the inaccessible 

 nature of many of these publications. For such we must rely upon the kindness 

 of our readers or the generosity of the respective Societies. 



A number of authors have very kindly promised to forward copies of their 

 reprints, and a reference to short articles, notes, Sec, every quarter, which will 

 greatly facilitate matters. 



We have pleasure in notifying that Mr. Walter Garstang, M. A., Berkeley 

 Fellow of Owens College, Manchester (Victoria University), and one of the 

 Naturalists of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, has 

 very kindly agreed to render assistance (editorially, &c.) in connection with the 

 Nudibranchs and the anatomy of Marine Molluscs.
