old 
year 1868. I have not yet ascertained by whom or from 
whence these fossils were transmitted to Mr. Salter, but it is 
of importance to note that 28 species were named and classified 
by him, and afterwards included in Bigsby’s Thesaurus Sil., 
1868. The following is a detailed list of the species, as 
enumerated in this work, and in Mr. Htheridge’s catalogue :—

Here, again, it is to be feared, from (M.S.) references 
against each name, that the specific descriptions are not 
recorded, and, consequertly, from this want we are unable to 
determine to what extent the species still preserved in the 
Society’s Museum are included in the list so named and 
classified. 
To add to our difficulty, there is no copy of Bigsby’s useful 
workin the Society’s Library, a want which should, if 
possible, be supplied. 
It is clear, however, that the Society’s collection of fossil 
Mollusca only contains a portion of the species classified by 
Mr. Salter, and it is most probable that the latter includes
