PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONCHOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 1 83 



The carefully checked results of such united investigations together with 

 the work of individual members, are being regularly tabulated for the use of 

 members in a book which is also open to any members of the Society on 

 application to the Secretary, and we hope in the course of a few years to be 

 in a position to publish a more complete list of the MoUuscan Fauna of 

 Lancashire and Cheshire than has hitherto appeared. 



Many interesting communications have already been brought forward and 

 discussed at our Monthly Meetings, and the following papers read : 



Ed. Collier— ' The Shells of Ingleton and District.' 



R. D. Darbishire — ' On Helix apevta reviving after long drought.' 



R. Standen— 'On the occurrence of Acme lineata Drap., in Lancashire 

 and Cheshire.' 

 These have been duly forwarded to the meetings at Leeds, and re- 

 commended by the Council for publication in the Journal of Conchology. — 

 Robert Standen, Hon. Sec, Manchester Branch.
