Prof. James H. Morrison, of the Virginia ]Military Institute, Lex- 

 ington, Va., is taking an active interest in the Association and has 

 already proposed a number of valuable members. 



H. K. [Morrell, of Gardiner, ]\Ie., writes : " I am simply a collec- 

 tor of shells and student of conchology." The Association is in- 

 tended to associate collectors as well as students and scientists. By 

 directing the attention of collectors to some special group or family, 

 much valuable material can be put together. In fact, it is aston- 

 ishing how rapidly specimens are added, when the attention is con- 

 centrated on a small group. It is impossible for anyone, unless he 

 be a millionaire, to attempt to make a general collection of shells, 

 which requires time, space and money; but, if each member would 

 devote his time to making a fine special collection, and incidentally 

 a representative generic collection, showing the different leading 

 forms, much better results will be accomplished.
