taceous Mollusca." He established the genus Barleeia. This 

 work is highly spoken of by Dr. Jeffreys and others. 



Mr. Robert James Shuttleworth, an ardent botanist and 

 malacologist, whose botanical collections were acquired by the 

 British Museum some ten years ago, lived mainly in Switzer- 

 land or Italy, and ymblished most of his diagnosis of new 

 mollusca in the German language, such as " Diagnosen Neuer 

 Mollusken," (Bern, 1852) ; " Notitite Malacologicse, Beitrage Z. 

 nah., keorntn. (neuer) Mollusken" (1856 — 1858). 



Mr. Robert Macandrew, born in 1802, near London, re- 

 moved to Liverpool when commencing business about 1828. 

 He travelled much in Spain and other south European coun- 

 tries, and never lost opportunity of enriching his collection by 

 personal search and trouble. He was one of the first to devote 

 himself to deep sea dredging, and was intimately acquainted 

 with the late Prof. Edward Forbes. He was a staunch up- 

 holder of the British Association, and contributed many of the 

 most interesting results of his researches to that body. He 

 scoured the British shores, the Canaries, Madeira, Azores, the 

 Red Sea, and Mediterranean coasts, also the Scandinavian, 

 where he acquired vast stores of material and information. 

 The " Annals and Magazine of Natural History," and the 

 " Proceedings of the Literary and Philosophical Society of 

 Liverpool," are filled with papers and memoirs by him. His 

 collection is in the Museum of the University of Cambridge, 

 and the Revd. A. H. Cooke has lately furnished the "Journal 

 of Conchology" with some interesting notes respecting the 

 British portion of these collections. His list of the " British 

 Marine Invertebrate Fauna" was not published till 1861. 



The Rev. Philip Pearsall Carpenter, youngest son of Dr. Lant 

 Carpenter, of Bristol, was born November 4th, 1819. From his 

 earliest child-hood he was devoted to the study of the Mollusca, 

 and worked under Dr. Stutchbury, of the Bristol Institution. At 

 the age of seventeen he was introduced to Dr. Gray, of the 

 British Museum, with whom he maintained a life-long friendship.
