London Branch. ^The first ramble of the present season took place on May 6. 

 A fair number of members visited Plumstead Marshes, under the leadership of Mr. 

 A. S. Poore. The water in one or two of the ditches was found to be very 

 strongly impregnated with iron ; this seems to be unfavourable to molluscan life, 

 as these ditches contained very few species, and these few were mostly covered 

 with a thick nodulous deposit ; a number of examples of LJmniea fiiregra in this 

 concHtion were obtained. — J. E. Cooper, Hon. Sec. {Read before the Society, 

 May loth, 1905).
