 Opening Address. — Statuto della Societa Malacologica

It is with pleasure that we notice the existence of a Mala- 

 cological Society in Italy. In his opening remarks Signor Mene- 

 ghini reviews the origin of the Society and the history of such 

 journals as have been founded in Italy for the advancement of 

 the science, and cites the names of many distinguished malacolo- 

 gists of Italian birth, or foreigners who have contributed to work 

 out the Italian fauna. He then points out the many varieties of 

 soil, altitude, climate and station possessed by the Peninsula, and 

 dilates on the biological and palasontological problems to be 

 solved by the malacologist. By the statutes it appears that the 

 annual subscription of the members is fixed at 15 lire (about 12/- 

 English).
