Exhibits. 

 By Mr. J. Cosnu Melvill : A few specimens of marine shells from Mochras 

 Island, two miles from Harlech, Merionethshire. This island, composed of sand, 

 and rising a few feet above the neighbouring sand dunes, is almost separated from 

 the mainland by an estuary, exposed at low water. It is much belauded in the 

 guide-books to North Wales as possessing an unsurpassed shell-beach. The Rev. 

 Carleton Greene has furnished to one of these a list of the moUusca found. Cer- 

 tainly rare specimens turn up from time to time, but the casual visitor for but an 

 hour or two may be disappointed, as quantity exceeds quality in the proportion of 

 a thousand to one. Cythera chione, Ltitraria elliptica, Psaminobia vespertina, 

 Tellina crassa, Actcron tornatilis, Cypnea europcsa, Scalaria communis, and others, 

 some fifty to sixty species in all, rewarded an afternoon's researches. All the 

 Pelecypoda were dissociated valves. On the rocks in the vicinity the usual 

 littoral species abounded. 



By Mr. C. H. Moore : Vertigo edcntula, Azeca triJens and var. crys.'allina, 

 from Ilkley, Yorkshire. 



By Mr. William Moss : Helicarion cingiilatns Melv. and Pons., from South 

 Africa. Mr. Moss distributed specimens amongst the members present. 



By Mr. E. J. Elliott : Helix aspera Fer., two fine specimens found in a bunch 

 of bananas ; one was dead when discovered, but the other is alive, and feeds upon 

 dandeUon leaves. This species is a rather uncommon Jamaican mollusc.
