Mr. Taylor said that as the Society was intending to pro-

 one should be set apart for " type " specimens of British Land 

 and Freshwater Shells ; and on condition of this being done he 

 would increase his contribution to the Cabinet Fund to ^2 5s., 

 the estimated cost of a cabinet. 



In the discussion which followed, the advantages of having 

 such a collection of type species and varieties were fully recog- 

 nised, and Mr. Taylor's offer was accepted.
