Paper Read. 



" Reversed Helices recently found in Lancashire,'" by Ed. Collier. 



Exhibits. 



By Mr. R. D. Darbishire : A large series of Helix nemoralis, from Lexington, 

 Virginia, U.S.A., collected by Prof. J. L. Howe. This introduced species is gradu- 

 ally extending its area. The specimens are remarkable for their lack of brilliant 

 colouration and their resemblance to the sombre hues of the American Helices. 



By Mr. W. J. Edwards : Anomia ephippium attached to Littorina littorea, both 

 species alive when taken, and very fine. 



By Mr. R. Standen : Helix nedronm Deh., and other species, collected by Mr 

 A. Smith in the neighbourhood of Grimsby, where they have probably been intro 

 duced in foreign grain from Mediterranean seaports. 



By Mr. Ed. Collier : The series of Hulices referred to in his paper.
