ANSWERS TO ENQUIRIES. 



In answer to an enquiry by " L. E.A." in the Journal for April, 1896, as to the 

 ■derivation of Azeca, it may be observed that this word occurs in a list of "Non- 

 sense names" on page 16 of the British Association " Rules for Zoological Nomen- 

 clature," drawn up by the late H.'.E. Strickland (London, 1878). 



Helix canigonensis. —Several enquiries having been received regarding the 

 correct spelling of this name, the following extract from a letter from Dr. Raphael 

 Blanchard, who has kindly looked up the original description, will be valuable : — 

 "Helix canigonensis a ete decrite par Neree Boubee dans son Bulletin d'histoire 

 naturelle de France, pour sei~vir a la statistique et a la geographic -naturelle de cette 

 re"gion, page 29, 1833. L'espece a ete trouvee a la base du pic du Canigou (ter- 

 rain granitique. )" 



ERRATUM. 



On page no, line $,for " Worth" read " North." 

 On page 428, line 2, for " Ditcham " read '* Mitcham." 



SPECIAL NOTICE. 



Considerable loss having been sustained by the Society 

 on account of the sending of Journals to members whose 

 subscriptions were in arrears, and who were ultimately 

 declared defaulters, 



The Council resolved in April last : — 



" That the first three numbers of the Journal for each 

 year be sent to those members who are not in arrear as 

 regards the previous year's subscription, and that when 

 the October number is ready for publication, a notice, 

 under cover, be sent to all members who have not then 

 paid the current year's subscription, and that the Journal 

 be not forwarded till payment has been made."
