Marine Mollusca at Oban. — In the ' Journal of Con- 

 chology' for 1877 (I. p 275), the Rev. A. M. Norman gave a 

 list of the mollusca which he observed during a short visit. 

 He adds a list of what he did not obtain, though also to be 

 found in the neighbourhood, and notes that it is capable of 

 considerable extension as regards the common forms. With 

 two or three exceptions the following list of species, identified at 

 Oban recently, falls under this description, but it may be worth 

 while to complete the local list so far. 



Unless Anomia striata Loven, includes A. patelli- 

 formis L., it is hard to pass over a fine series of this form.
