3o6 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONCHOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



PAPER READ. 



" On the Marine Shells of Magilligan Strand," by Miss Honoria 

 Galwey. 



SPECIMENS EXHIBITED. 



The Chairman, on behalf of Mr. J. R. Redding, showed a 

 large and fine collection of Land and Freshwater Shells from the 

 vicinity of Dublin. 



Mr. Harvard Pierson exhibited a number of species of 

 Clausilia — including all the British species. 



Mr. F. R. Fitzgerald exhibited Helix pisana from Swansea 

 (from Mrs. Dyer), and H. pomatia from Hants., the Bergel 

 Valley, and Bex, Switzerland. 



Mr. H. Shaw showed examples of Cofius textile (L.) and 

 C. vicarius (Lamk.). 



Mr. W, E. CoUinge exhibited and presented to the Society 

 specimens of Limncea stagnalis, collected August, 1887, in the 

 River. Cherwell, Banbury. 



Referring to the change of premises which has just been 

 made, the Chairman said the Directors of the Leeds Mechanics' 

 Institute had for several years most generously provided accom- 

 modation for us, and had on all occasions shown a desire to help 

 the Society in its work. Unfortunately they were not able to do 

 more in providing space for our collection and library, hence 

 the need to secure other rooms. He trusted the Society would 

 cordially mark its appreciation of their kindness. The removal 

 would necessitate a change in the day of m eeting, so that we should 

 keep clear of existing engagements at the Philosophical Hall. 



On the motion of Mr. W. Denison Roebuck, F.L.S., it was 

 resolved : "That the best thanks of the Society be presented 

 to the Directors of the Leeds Mechanics' Institute for their 

 uniform courtesy and for the accommodation which they 

 have so generously granted the Society during the past few 

 years ; and that Mr. Bell be requested to convey the resolu- 

 tion to the Secretary." 



On the motion of Mr. C. H. Pierson, it was resolved : " That 

 the meetings in future be held on the first Wednesday in 

 each month,"
