President's Address. 



33 



Fleming was born at Kirkroads, Bathgate, in Linlithgow- 

 shire, and it has been suggested by Mr John Gray, I think 

 with justice, that Fleming in all prolmbility obtained his 

 first insio'ht and encouraj:jement in Natural Science from 

 David Ure (or his writings), who was Minister of that parish 

 about the time in question. Fleming's collection now rests 

 in the Museum of Science and Art, Edinburgh, where I have 

 on many occasions had an opportunity of consulting its riches 

 through the kindness of my friends Professor T. C. Archer 

 and Dr E. H. Traquair.

 Mollusca made by Dr Fleming in the " British Animals " are 

 as follows :
