ORDINARY MEETING. 



Friday, 13th April, 1923. 



A. S. Kbnnaed, F.G.S., President, in the Chair. 



The President alluded to the loss Malacological science had 

 sustained by the recent death of F. W. Harmer, F.G.S., whose work 

 in connexion with the Crag Mollusca was well known to all. 



Dr. H. E. Quick was elected to membership of the Society. 



The following communications were read : — 



1. "On the external characters of Sigaretus." By G. C. Kobson, 

 F.Z.S. 



2. " On the anatomy of Helix (Otala) companyoii, Aler." By the 

 late Charles Ashford ; read by the President. 



The following exhibits were made : — 



By Mr. Kennard : A series of rare tracts dealing with Mollusca. 



By Mr. Leslie Cox : Species of Taia received from Dr. Annandale 

 for the British Museum Collection. 



By Mr. Tomlin : A number of rare species dredged in deiep water 

 off the Cape of Good Hope, many of them new, including Turritella 

 ferrugineu, Eve., T. declivis, Ad. and Rve., T. excavata, Sow., a new 

 Latiaxis, two new Columbarium, a Eudolium, a new Glyptenthira, etc. 



By Mr. B. B. Woodward : The copy of a rare pamphlet, 

 " Enumeration des Plantes rare ou remarquables ainsi que des 

 MoUusques terrestres et d'eau douce de I'ile de Corse. Extrait 

 de I'edition fran9aise de ' Southward Ho ! ' ou Notes sur I'ile de 

 Corse, par Thomasina Campbell." Ajaccio, 1872. This addition to 

 the French translation of " Southward Ho ! " occupies pp. 291- 

 320 of that edition, but the reprint of pp. 30 exhibited cannot so far 

 be traced in any bibliography. The introductions to the two sections 

 are signed " R. J. S." and " R. I. S. " respectively, and manifestly 

 stand for the well-known naturalist Robert James Shuttleworth. 



By Col. Peile : Poecilozonites cupula, Gulick, typical and a new 

 variety differing in the colour markings ; P. circumfirm^tus, var. 

 discrepans, Pfr,, and a new form allied thereto and flatter than 

 any hitherto recorded.
