77?^ Quarterly Journal of Conchology. 



Propossd Enlargement. 



This Journal has been in existence from February 1874, has met 

 with increasing favor from Conchologists and is now well established as 

 the organ of the science in the British Isles, besides possessing a wide 

 circulation on the continent of Europe, in America, Australia and the 

 world generally, especially among English-speaking peoples and in the 

 British possessions. 



On the completion of the present Volume, the Journal will be enlarg- 

 ed in size and price, plates will be given, and the amount of letterpress 

 materially increased. 



Nature of the OQathlD-atiens desired. 



Descriptions and figures of New, rare or little-known 

 species of Mollusca and their shells. This is intended to be the chief 

 and most valuable portion of the Journal. The species described will 

 be figured in the best manner possible. If more convenient to the col- 

 lector, shells may be forwarded to the Editors to be described and figu- 

 red, and afterwards to be at the disposal of the collector. 



Papers on the Habits, Anatomy, or Distribution of species. 

 Geographical lists, Notes of excursions, &c., will form another inter- 

 esting and important series of articles. 



Palaeontological Conchology — to be treated in the same man- 

 ner as recent conchology, will be included in the scheme of the enlarged 

 series; although not included in the present on account of want of space. 



Short notes dealing with any matter of interest — as notices of sales, 

 movements of conchological collectors, notes of communications made 

 to learned societies, extracts from correspondence, corrections of errors 

 and mis-statements, obituaries of deceased conchologists, &c., &c. 



Bibliographical Notices of New Books will be given, in order 

 to keep our readers "au courant" with the progress of the science. 



Books intended for notice should be forwarded to the Office of the 

 Journal. Separate pamphlets and extracts from the Transactions of 

 Societies are also desired and should show the original pagination. 



The Editors desire to call the attention of conchologists, and collect- 

 ors in all parts of the world, to the importance and desirability of sup- 

 porting the only journal in the English language that is exclu- 

 sively devoted to this important science in a generous and enter- 

 prising spirit, by making it the vehicle of their communications to the 

 concholo2;ical world.
