The Recorder of the Conchological Society has to report 

 that during the twelve months just expired more records have 

 been made and verified than had been done in the whole of the 

 six years previous. During those six years (ending December 

 31st, 1882) the total number of records made was 2,671, 

 equivalent to an average of 445 per annum. But during the 

 single year just expired, no less than 2,965 records have been 

 made, each of which has been carefully verified by the Society's 

 referees. This brings up to 5,636 the grand total of records 

 which have been authenticated since the record-system was 

 instituted. For this gratifying result, the Society and its referees 

 are indebted to various Conchologists who have assisted most 

 liberally by forwarding specimens, and in several instances, their 

 whole collections, for inspection. In this way the faunas of the 

 counties of Hants, East Sussex, Kent, North Essex, Hertford,
