LINNEAN SOCIETY. 
June 16.—The Bisuor or Norwicu in the chair. J. 
n Esq., and Dr. Lightfoot, were elected Fellows. 
A paper was read by Mr. “Lovell Reeve “On the fane- 
tions of Calcification in the Cowrie and the Olive, two 
pectinibranchiate Mollusks.” The object of the paper 
was to point out the different process by which thesame 
end was accomplished in animals closely allied. Hav- 
ing called attention to the fact that the pearly nautilus 
secretes a heavy shell, capable of resisting great ipres- 
sure, whilst the paper nautilus secretes a light elastic 
boat, used only by the female for the purposes of ovipo- 
sition ; the author pointed out the difference between 
the process of secretion of the shell of the Cowrie and 
that of the Olive. He concluded his observations by a 
caution against generalising or speculating on the pro- 
bable nature of a mollusk from the analogies presented 
by its shell. The paper was illustrated by diagrams of
