  PEOCEEDINGS

  THE 
  MALACOLOGICAL 
  SOCIETY. 
  

  

  Perhaps 
  it 
  would 
  not 
  be 
  out 
  of 
  place 
  to 
  note 
  here 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  

   a 
  genus 
  of 
  Coleoptera, 
  ^ 
  Pachychila,^ 
  was 
  founded 
  in 
  1831, 
  some 
  

   twenty-six 
  years 
  previous 
  to 
  the 
  creation 
  by 
  Lea 
  of 
  ' 
  Pachychihis 
  ' 
  

  

  in 
  Mollusca 
  ; 
  according, 
  however, 
  to 
  the 
  rules 
  laid 
  down 
  by 
  the 
  

   International 
  Congress 
  of 
  Zoology 
  (1905, 
  p. 
  39) 
  both 
  names 
  may 
  

   stand, 
  though, 
  unfortunately, 
  so 
  nearly 
  similar.
