PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONCHOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 395 



A note by Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell on his ' Var. ovaliforrnis of Limmia 

 pcregra,'' with reference to the notes upon it by himself and Mr. Taylor, pub- 

 lished in J. of C. for July, 1891, vi. 380 — 381, was read, as follows: 'I am 

 quite surprised and puzzled ))y Mr. Taylor's paper on this form. . I found the 

 sketch I sent among my papers, labelled as ovaliformis, and was decidedly 

 of opinion that it represented the type specimen. If all Mr. Taylor says is 

 accurate (and it appears to be so) it would seem probable that my figure 

 represented another specimen from the same locality, and not the real lype. 

 Certainly, I should not have drawn the peculiar form of aperture figured, had 

 it not been in the shell before me ! However this may be, it is very fortunate 

 that Mr. Taylor has gone into the matter in detail, so that all mistaken im- 

 pressions may be cleared up.' Mr. Cockerell's note then goes on to enquire 

 whether the type specimen figured by Mr. Taylor is in the Conchological 

 Society's Collection at Leeds, for he does not seem to possess, and thinks he 

 must have given it either to the Conchological Society or the British Museum.
