A LIST OF SHELLS TAKEN AT TENBY, 



SEPTEMBER, 1888. 



By J. W. CUNDALL. 



(Read before the Conchological Society, December 15th, 18S8.) 



A long-intended visit to this quaint old watering-place, so 

 rich in its historic associations, was carried into effect this 

 Autumn, and I was enabled to devote a considerable time to 

 shell-seeking. The following list is, no doubt, a very incomplete 

 one of the Mollusca of the locality, no dredging having been 

 done, still, "on the whole, I did not consider the result unsatis- 

 factory, and the record may prove of interest to the Society. 

 In the " Journal of Conchology," vol. i, page 30, there is given 

 a short list of shells met with in this quarter, on reference to 

 which it will be seen that the catalogue of species has now been 

 considerably increased, and it is to be hoped that the following 

 may have the effect of leading to a complete enumeration of the 

 Mollusca of the Tenby District.
