ORDINARY MEETING. 



Ekiday, 9th JuiSrE, 1899. 



W. T. Blanford, LL.D., F.R.S., etc., President, in the Chair. 



M. Henri Fiscber was elected to membership of tbe Society. 

 The following communications were read : — 



1. "Description of a New Species of JJnio from the River Pahang." 

 By E. A. Smith, F.Z.S., etc. 



2. "ITote on the reported occurrence of Corlicula fluminalis (Miill.), 

 in South Africa." By J. H. Ponsonby, E.Z.S., etc. 



In a valuable paper on the Pliocene Non-Marine MoUusca (Proc. Malac. 

 See, vol. iii, p. 201), Messrs. Kennard and Woodward give "South Africa" 

 as one of the localities in which this species has been found. It appears 

 that Mr. J. R. Gregory (Geol. Mag., 1869, p. 91) records its occurrence in 

 the Vaal River ; but an examination of the specimens kindly placed at 

 our disposal by that gentleman proves them to belong, not to that species, 

 but to C. Africana, Krauss, and C. Oliphantensis, Craven. It would seem 

 that C. fluminalis has not at present been found in South Africa. 



3. " Notes on Land-Shells from a Holocene Deposit at the Horseshoe 

 Pit, Colley Hill, Reigate." By the Rev. R. Ashington Bullen, M.A.,
