Anniversary Meeting of the Zoological Club. 217 
of Ireland. Captain Brown, also, of Edinburgh, has enriched 
our native catalogues with some species of Mollisca, collected 
in Scotland; and Dr. Johnston of Berwick has continued, 
during the same period, his Contributions to British zoology, 
in which are included many new and interesting additions to 
the same group. 
During the year, some observations have been forwarded 
to the Zoological Journal, by our valued correspondent the 
Rev. Mr. Lansdown Guilding of St. Vincent, on the groups 
of the Chitonidz. These form the continuation of that gen- 
tleman’s remarks on the zoology of the Caribbean Seas, , the 
reading and illustrations of which have afforded so much in- 
terest to our meetings in former years. In the same journal, 
some valuable anatomical papers on the Mollisca have ap- 
peared within the year, particularly 4 Description of the Ana-. 
tomical Structure of Cyclostoma élegans, by the Rev. M. G. 
Berkeley of Cambridge; and Description of the Animal to 
which belongs the Shell called, by the Baron de Ferusac, Helico- 
limax Lamarchii, by the Rev. R. T. Lowe. 
In no department of zoology has the reputation of this 
country been more fully supported than in the Annuldsa. 
Even when every other branch of our science was languish- 
ing under neglect, this department produced some able re- 
presentatives, ‘and none more able than the author of the 
Monographia Apum Anglia. Happy am I to add, that time 
has not dimmed the faculties of our revered friend, nor abated 
his ardour. With the true enthusiasm of science, he has 
occasionally left the quiet of his closet, during the past year, 
to animate our meetings, and enlighten our discussions, Dur- 
ing that period, he has brought to a close his great work, the 
Introduction to Entomology 3 ; and he has likewise found leoane 
to animadyert on some minor groups of his favourite class, in 
communications intended for the Xoological Journal. Long 
may he continue to enliven our circles by his presence and 
example ! 
Second in point of time, but second to no man in merit or 
reputation, is our friend the author of the Hore Entomoldgice. 
Although distant from us, he has not forgotten our common 
cause. Besides some observations which he was called upon to 
bring forward in vindication of some of his previously published 
opinions—observations which, although bearing upon particular 
points, are yet replete with those sound philosophical views 
which pervade every production of his pen — he has favoured 
us with a paper on the Ceratitis citripérda, an insect destructive 
to oranges. We may remember the success with which Mr. 
MacLeay, at a former period, called in the aid of science to the 
Vorolll. — No. 12. Q
