The usual four nambers of the 'Journal of Conchology' have been pub- 

 lished during the year by its Editor, Mr. John W. Taylor, F.L.S., and 

 copies have been issued to the members of the Society in accordance with 

 the arrangements entered into with the Editor three years ago, which 

 arrangements your Council recommend shall be continued. 



The Society's Collections, which are partly displayed in the Museum of 

 the Leeds Philosophical Society and partly stored in three cabinets which 

 are deposited at the same museum, have been considerably added to during

 indebted to Mr. J. H. Ponsonby for a large number of interesting shells, 

 both marine and non-marine, from various parts of the world ; to the Rev.
