JOURNAL OF CONCHOLOGY, VOL, 10, NO. 9, JANUARY, I903. 



Five numbers of the Journal have appeared since the last Annual Meeting, 

 containing 160 pages, 3 plates, and several other illustrations. 



During the past year donations have been received to the Cabinet from the 

 President, Messrs. W. Blake, L. B. Brown, Alfred Leicester, A. G. Stubbs, and W. 

 Whitwell ; to the Library (in addition to the periodicals and transactions acquired 

 by exchange for the Journal) from Miss M. V. Lebour, Messrs. W. Wells Bladen, 

 E. L. Bouvier and H. Fischer, Geo. S. Brady, T. D. A. Cockerell, W. H. Ball, 

 G. K. Gude, H. Wallis Kew, E. D. Marquand, Dr. E. von Martens, J. R. B. 

 Masefield, W. L. May, A. Mayfield, E. Nordenskiold, E. R. Sykes, R. Tate, 

 John A. Todd, J. W. Williams, and the Northumberland Sea Fisheries Committee. 



The Society is also indebted to Messrs. J. H. Ponsonby and H. Wallis Kew for 

 pecuniary assistance towards the illustrations, and to Mr. R. Welch for a photo- 

 graph of almormal Helices which has been reproduced in Plate IL ; as well as to 

 the Secretary for the card bibliography of Mollusca published by Dr. Field of Ziirich. 



The Committee appointed to draw up a revised List of British Marine Mollusca 

 last year presented what it was believed would be its final Report, but, having been 

 charged by the Council with the publication of a new edition of the List, they have 

 carried out this work and have submitted a further Report on the alterations which 

 have been found necessary. The Report will be printed in the Journal (see p. 280), 

 and the List is now ready for issue. The Committee has therefore finished its 

 labours and is dissolved, but the Council hope that members will not omit to 

 communicate to the Journal any additions, corrections, or emendations which they 

 think would be desirable in a future issue. 



The Committee for Collective Investigation has not received sufficient informa- 

 tion on which to base a Report, and has not been re-appointed. 



The Balance Sheet for the year 1901 has been prepared by the Treasurer, and 

 audited by Messrs. Oldham and Stump ; an interim balance sheet with comments 

 showing the present state of the Society's finances has also been prepared and 

 ordered to be laid before the Annual Meeting. 



The Council desire to draw the attention of members to the great importance of 

 prompt payment of their subscriptions. By delay, not only is a considerable 

 amount of needless labour thrown upon the Treasurer, but there is great waste 

 of the Society's meagre funds involved in the payment of postages. The Council 

 trust that it is only necessary to call the attention of members to this matter in order 

 to bring about a more satisfactory state of affairs.
