Statement of Accounts for the Year 1914. 



By Mr. R. Standen : Specimens of Ranella gigautea Lam., and Cassidaria 

 rugosa L. (ex coll. G. M. Morris), dredged alive recently off the south-west coast 

 of Ireland, in deep water, by Captain Applegaie. Five examples of the Ranella 

 and ten of the Cassidaria were obtained in good condition. Locality series of 

 Cassidaria rugosa and C. echinophora from Arcachon and Cadiz were shown for 

 comparison, and it was pointed out that the Irish C. j-tigosa were larger and much 

 more delicate in texture than Mediterranean specimens, have no trace of nodules 

 on the whorls, and all agree exactly with the form figured as C. tyrriiena of 

 t'hemniiz. 



Specimens of fossil Cassidaria from the Coralline Crag were shown by Mr. 

 J. Wilfrid Jackson for comparison with the recent forms.
