THE 



♦ 



The Introduction, published in the First Numbei", sufficiently explains the 

 objects the Editors have in view ; but it will, perhaps, not be superfluous to 

 hope that every Conchologist who may be in possession of information, will 

 freely communicate it, and thereby contribute his or her share to rendering the 

 Journal a full and accurate record of the progress of the science which it is 

 founded to promote. 



Any profits arising from the Journal will be devoted to its improvement : 

 and illustrations will be given when the interests of the Journal, and its pecuniary 

 success, will admit. 



It is requested that scientific and proper names be written distinctly and 

 without abbreviation. 



No notice will be taken of anonymous contributions ; and authors alone will 

 be held responsible for the opinions expressed in their articles. 



LOCAL CATALOGUES.— The Editors will be happy to receive com- 

 munications of this nature, and still more so if carefully annotated, with full 

 records of locality, relative abundance or scarcity, and such other information 

 as will tend to give a correct idea of the fauna of the district. Prior to compiling 

 a list of this kind, the Editors would feel much obliged by the author communi- 

 cating with them with regard to the area and boundaries of the proposed disti'ict. 

 This is requested with a view to ultimate tabulation of the records ; and attention 

 to this point would prevent much future uncertainty.
