" Structural and Systematic Conchology " (April, 1884). To afford 

 additional facilities to such students he prepared an artificial key to 

 the classes, family, and genera, which he hoped would prove to be of 

 service. 



Mr. A. J. Taylor expressed regret at the absence of Mr. J ohnston 

 through indisposition. Mr. Johnston's writings were not only invaluable 

 in themselves, but specially so as they were generally written with a 

 view to meet the requirements of young students. 



THE DOUBLE COOOANUT. 



Mr. Alfred J. Taylor read a paper on the coco-de-mer (Lodoicea 

 Seychellarum) or double cocoanut, which had become interesting 

 of late owing to some misleading paragraphs which had found their 

 way into the English Press regarding it.
