Exhibits. 



By Mr. J. W. Jackson: A selection from the shells obtained during the three 

 summer rambles, and enumerated in the several reports thereon ; also an interest- 

 ing set of Limiuva peregra, L. glaber, Pliysa hypiioriuii, P. fontinale and Planorbis 

 sp77-orbis taken a few days before in a ditch near Dog Kennel Lane, Moss Side, 

 a well known Manchester locality which will soon become historic, as it is being 

 rapidly built over. The specimens shown, which are most likely the last procur- 

 able, are very much dwarfed, and scarcely a quarter the size they formerly attained, 

 doubtless owing to the fouling of the water, or its scarcity during the past dry 

 summer.

By Mr. W. H. Johnson : Helix pisana found alive in a bunch of bananas from
