354 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONCHOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



G. A. Frank Knight — ' Contiibutic^ns towards a List of tlie Marine Mollusca 



of the Upper portion of Loch Linnhe, Argyllshire.'

 J. G. Milne and C. Oldham — ' The Molluscan Fauna of the Bowdon 



District of Cheshire.' 



AH these papers and notes have appeared or will shortly appear in the 

 'Journal of Conchology.' It will be seen that the members of the Society 

 pay attention to Conchology in its broadest sense, and that the papers read 

 show evidence of original investigation on diverse branches of the science. 



Four numbers of the 'Journal of Conchology' have been issued to the 

 members during the past year, and another is nearly ready for issue. The 

 arrangements for the issue of the Journal made with the Editor have con- 

 tinued as in past years, and your Council recommend their continuance. 



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

 Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society, and are in part displayed for 

 public inspection, have been materially added to during the year. Among 

 the donations special attention may be called to a large series of Marine 

 Shells from Sutherlandshire, presented by Mr. Wm. Baillie, a fine set of 

 Marine and I>and and Freshwater Shells from the neighbourhood of Ballina, 

 Ireland, by Miss Amy Warren; an additional set of Eigg Shells, by Rev. 

 J. McMurtrie; a series of Shells from the Copford Pleistocene Deposit, 

 by Mr. W. Thomson ; a large number of Marine Shells from the Channel 

 Isles, by Mr. J. E. Cooper; a number of shells from the Revett Sheppard

 Collections under his charge.
