records coming to hand. The largest number has, however, come from South 

 Wales, where Mr. WiUiams Vaughan, J. P., established a considerable number. 

 The comparative scarcity of records for the whole of the country may be partly 

 accounted for by reason of the very large number of retuins made in 1909 and 1910, 

 and partly through the phenomenal dryness of the past summer, which has ren- 

 dered collecting difficult. Writing of a visit paid to Lincolnshire only last week, 

 Mr. Roebuck .says that he found that only the rivers and the largest drains have 

 any water in them ; the smaller and medium ones are entirely dried up. 



The members of the Society heard with deep concern and sympathy of the 

 accident that, had befallen Mr. Fred Taylor, our Recorder, by which he has been 

 laid aside for many weeks. It is a matter of great regret to the Council that one 

 consequence of this mishap and the consequent pressure of business entailed is that 

 Mr. P^-ed Taylor is unable to allow himself to be again nominated for the 

 Recordership. It is with much satisfaction and confidence, however, that the 

 nomination of Mr. W. Denison Roebuck, F.L.S., for the office is put forward. 

 Mr. Roebuck is one of the two remaining founders of the Society still in member- 

 ship, and is, moreover, admirably qualified by many years' work in the same 

 direction in connection with Mr. J.'W. Taylor's " Monograph of the British Land 

 and P'reshwater Mollusca. "
