The President called attention to the new list of British 

 Marine Shells by Mr. A. Somerville, B.Sc, F.L.S., of which a 

 copy was on the table.- A list of this kind had long been wanted 

 and Mr. Somerville's was calculated to be of much use. In the 

 preparation of it, he had had the assistance of Dr. J. A. 

 Henderson, lately biologist to the Scottish Marine Station at 

 Granton (now Professor of Biology at the Christian College, 

 Madras), Mr. J. T. Marshall, of Torquay, and — as regards 

 the Cephalopoda — of Mr. W. E. Hoyle, M.R.C.S., at present 

 the Naturalist to the Challenger Commission, Edinburgh. Three 

 species have been omitted which Jeffreys included in the body 

 of his work on the strength of dead shells, namely Area obliqua, 

 NecBra rosirata, and Torellia vestita, and some which Dr. Jeffreys 

 in his appendix recommended for insertion have likewise been 

 left out.
