ANNUAL REPORT OF THE LONDON BRANCH. 



Since our last annual report twelve meetings of this branch have been held. 

 Si.'c of these were field meetings. The localities visited were Rickmans worth, 

 Chesham, Purley, Arbrook Common, Kew Gardens, and Leatherhead. The 

 exceptionally dry weather made collecting difficult, but we succeeded in finding 

 Viiiigo substriata, V. pvgiiKta, Clausilia rolphii, and 'Azeca tridens. 



The attendance at some of the meetings was disappointingly small, although the 

 membership of the branch remains much as it was last year. 



Canon Horsley once again very kindly provided a room for the winter meetings. 

 We deeply regret that the Canon is leaving London ; he will be much missed by 

 the members of our branch. J. E. Coopkr, Hon. Sec. 



406th Meeting, held at Manchester Museum, Nov. 8, 1911. 



Mr. J. W. Taylor in the chair.
