  FURTHER 
  NOTES 
  ON 
  THE

  Read

  The 
  following 
  notes 
  are 
  to 
  supplement 
  Mr. 
  H. 
  0. 
  IN". 
  Shaw's 
  paper 
  

   on 
  the 
  same 
  subject 
  read 
  on 
  March 
  12, 
  1909, 
  and 
  had 
  I 
  been 
  aware 
  

   at 
  the 
  time 
  he 
  had 
  this 
  work 
  in 
  hand 
  I 
  should 
  have 
  been 
  only 
  too 
  

   glad 
  to 
  have 
  let 
  him 
  have 
  the 
  use 
  of 
  my 
  imperfect 
  copy 
  of 
  the 
  book 
  

   to 
  have 
  extended 
  his 
  table. 
  

  

  My 
  copy 
  consists 
  of 
  about 
  a 
  hundred 
  complete 
  parts, 
  viz. 
  : 
  1-20, 
  

   25-42, 
  52-85, 
  141-70, 
  plates 
  only 
  of 
  parts 
  173-84 
  and 
  185-92. 
  

  

  During 
  the 
  time 
  I 
  was 
  at 
  work 
  on 
  the 
  Mollusca 
  collected 
  by 
  the 
  

   "Huxley" 
  from 
  the 
  north 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  Bay 
  of 
  Biscay, 
  I 
  had 
  trouble 
  

   in 
  fixing 
  the 
  date 
  of 
  G. 
  B. 
  Sowerby's 
  description 
  of 
  Nuciila 
  nitida, 
  

   which 
  did 
  not 
  seem 
  to 
  be 
  mentioned 
  in 
  any 
  of 
  the 
  many 
  works 
  

   I 
  referred 
  to. 
  This 
  made 
  me 
  doubt 
  if 
  the 
  dates 
  of 
  issue 
  of 
  the 
  parts 
  

   of 
  the 
  work 
  under 
  consideration 
  were 
  published 
  or 
  generally 
  known. 
  

  

  I 
  much 
  regret 
  my 
  copy 
  is 
  not 
  complete 
  enough 
  to 
  finish 
  the 
  work 
  

   Mr. 
  Shaw 
  has 
  begun, 
  but 
  I 
  thought 
  what 
  I 
  could 
  add 
  might 
  be 
  worth 
  

   publishing.
