22 JOURNAT, OF COKCIIOI.OGY, VOL. I5, NO. I, JANUARY, I916. 



The papers and ikUcs read al llie meetings liave been thirty-one in number, and 

 the exhibits have often been of exceptional interest. There have been special 

 exhibits in the following genera : — Alyciciis, Bursa, Bidiininus, Uiiio, Harpa, 

 Neritula, PapiiiHa, and Marginella ; and in several cases nearly all the known 

 species of a genus have been got together for comparison. 



'Y\\Q Journal of Conchology has been issued quarterly, and well maintains its 

 circulation. The XlVth Volume is completed with the October number, and a 

 glance al the exhaustive indices compiled by the Editor will show the wide scope 

 and the amount of original work done by members wlio have contributed to its 

 pages. Members will assist the Editor, and still further enhance the variety and 

 interest o\ \\\^ Journal, by sending short notes of their oliservalions, especially such 

 as elucidate the habits and life-history of mollusca. The volume contains an 

 unusual number of excellent plates and illustrations, many of which have been 

 jirovided at the private expense of contributors, as, our annual subscription being 

 so low, the funds of the Society do not allow of much expenditure in this direction. 

 Our thanks are tendered especially to Mr. Lionel E. Adams, Professor Boycott, 

 and Mr. Tomlin. The commencement in January next of the XVth Volume will 

 give an opportunity for an effort to extend the circulation of the Journal, and the 

 Council ask members to use their personal influence in this direction by bringing it 

 under the notice of reference library committees and any others who may be 

 interested in natural history. 



A considerable number of our members is on active naval and military service, 

 and to these we send hearty and most appreciative greetings and good wishes. 



The Society is to be congratulated upon the fact that at a time of so great 

 national disturbance and strain its affairs are in such a liealthy condition, but in 

 order that this maybe maintained in the present year it will be necessary that every 

 effort be made to keep up the interest of those who are alreaily members and if 

 possible get others to join the Society.
