 also asked Mr. Russell, the Astronomer-Royal o£ Sydney and an 

 Honorary Fellow of this Society, to represent this Society at 

 the preliminary meetings. This he has very kindly promised 

 to do, and the Society may congratulate itself on having secured

 paration of a large number of plates illustrating some of the 

 mollusca, and which are now being prepared under the valuable 

 guidance of Prof. Tate. The results, as seen in the last volume 

 of the Society's Proceedings, will cause the scientific world to 

 look forward with a lively interest to a further instalment of 

 Prof. Tate's scientific labours on this important branch of 

 natural history.
