128 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONCHOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



until he saw the account of the one belonging to Mr. J. R. Hardy, in the 

 'Journal of Conchology.' 



Of Acme there are 8 species — European, including some nice Acme 

 lineata — British. Of Pomatias there are a great many species, all very much 

 alike, and many Bythinias, Palndinellas, Alelanopsis, and Neritivas, etc. 



The Madeiran collection of Land and Freshwater Mollusca is kept 

 separate from the rest ; it is practically complete, and contains some very 

 interesting forms, especially in the extinct or sub-fossil species. These 

 were received chiefly from the Rev. R. Boog Watson. 



In the display of his specimens Dr. Norman uses wooden tablets for the 

 larger shells, though latterly he has begun to keep them loose on wool, and 

 in card trays. The smaller species are all kept loose in tubes, arranged in 

 wooden divisions in the drawers. This admits of a great number of species 

 in a drawer, Ijut they do not show very well. The tubes have to be taken 

 up separately to examine closely, and to do this more time is required than 

 the members had at their disposal ; still there was plenty to see in the larger 

 things, and Dr. Norman's collection will not soon be forgotten. The only 

 regret is that there was not more members present to participate in the 

 enjoyment of the visit. 



The President entertained the members and visitors to dinner, after 

 which the formal business was transacted before resuming the inspection of 

 the collections. A most cordial vote of thanks to Dr. Norman for his 

 hospitable reception was moved by Mr. William Nelson, seconded by Mr. 

 Robert Standen, and supported by the Rev. John Hawell, M.A., and Mr. 

 Wm, Denison Roebuck, F.L.S., and unanimously adopted. After a suitable 

 reply by the President, the examination of his collections was resumed. —
