40 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONCHOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



The deep sea species obtained in the ' Porcupine ' and 

 ' Lightning ' expeditions have not been included, as to do so 

 would involve taking in a multitude of species which few 

 collectors are ever likely to possess. Mr. Somerville's list takes 

 cognizance of varieties, the names of which are given in smaller 

 type, and the list is calculated to be the standard one for marine 

 Conchologists. 



SPECIMENS EXHIBITED. 



The President showed slugs from South Hants., sent by Mr. 

 Chas. Ashford. The number of specimens sent by members and 

 others from various localities were considerable, and included 

 the following : — Vertigo pygmaa, V. antivertigo, &c., from the river 

 Aide rejectamenta, shown by Mr. Taylor, on behalf of Mr. G. T. 

 Rope ; Limncea palustris var. corvus from N. Essex, sent by Mr. 

 L. E. Adams ; a number of shells from Surrey, Tipperary, and 

 Stirlingshire, sent by Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell ; Mr. F. W. Wotton 

 sent a curiously elongated example of Planorbis vortex alive, 

 and a number of specimens from Brecon and Glamorgan ; a 

 number of species from Torquay, a banded variety of Limncea 

 truncatula from Denbighshire, and a specimen of Azeca tridens
