MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. 

 Dredging in the Hardanger Fiord.- — This, one of the 

 most beautiful and interesting of the Norwegian fiords, is intended 

 to be the scene of the dredging -operations of two of our most 

 distinguished conchologists. The Rev. A. Merle Norman, M.A., 

 and Dr. J. Gwyn Jeffreys, F.R.S., propose spending the ensuing 

 month of August in its investigation, and the results will no 

 doubt be commensurate with those obtained by the same gentle- 

 men in the Bergen fiords, as published in the present volume. 



Genus Planorbella Gabb. — On reference to the biblio- 

 graphy at p. 149 of the present volume the reader will notice that 

 the late W. M. Gabb proposed a new Pteropod genus of the family 

 LimacinidcE, under this name. The name, however, has been 

 previously applied by Haldeman to a subgenus of Planorbis of 

 which P. corpulentiis is the type. 



Yorkshire Naturalists' Union Exhibition at Leeds. — 

 A most successful exhibition was recently held in connection with 

 the Annual Meeting of the Union. The limited space placed at 

 the disposal of the conchological department precluded a very 

 extensive display of shells, but the main feature was Mr. Nelson's 

 exceptionally fine collection of LtmncBidce, other objects of great 

 interest being collections of various kinds shown by Messrs. 

 Scharff, Taylor, Wilcock, &c.
