Anniversary Meeting of the Zoological Cluh. 217 



of Ireland. Captain Brown, also, of Edinburgh, has enriched 

 our native catalogues with some species of MoUusca, collected 

 in Scotland; and Dr. Johnston of Berwick has continued, 

 during the same period, his Continhidions to British zoology, 

 in which are included many new and interesting additions to 

 the same group. 



During the year, some observations have been forwarded 

 to the Zoological Journal^ by our valued correspondent the 

 Rev. Mr. Lansdown Guilding of St. Vincent, on the groups 

 of the Chitonidae. These form the continuation of that gen- 

 tleman's remarks on the zoology of the Caribbean Seas, the 

 reading and illustrations of which have afforded so much in- 

 terest to our meetings in former years. In the same journal, 

 some valuable anatomical papers on the Moll us ca have ap- 

 peared within the year, particularly A Description of the Ana- 

 tomical Structure of Cyclostoma elegans^ by the Rev. M. G. 

 Berkeley of Cambridge ; and Description of the Animal to 

 which belongs the Shell called, by the Baron de Ferusac, Helico- 

 Umax Lamrnxkii, by the Rev. R. T. Lowe. 



In no department of zoology has the reputation of this 

 country been more fully supported than in the Annulosa. 

 Even when every other branch of our science was languish- 

 ing under neglect, this department produced some able re- 

 presentatives, and none more able than the author of the 

 Monogrdphia A^pum A^?iglice. Happy am I to add, that time 

 has not dimmed the faculties of our revered friend, nor abated 

 his ardour. With the true enthusiasm of science, he has 

 occasionally left the quiet of his closet, during the past year, 

 to animate our meetings, and enlighten our discussions. Dur- 

 ing that period, he has brought to a close his great work, the 

 Introduction to Entomology ; and he has likewise found leisure 

 to animadvert on some minor groups of his favourite class, in 

 communications intended for the Zoological Journal. Long 

 may he continue to enliven our circles by his presence and 

 example ! 



Second in point of time, but second to no man in merit or 

 reputation, is our friend the author of the Hm^ce Entomologicce. 

 Although distant from us, he has not forgotten our common 

 cause. Besides some observations which he was called upon to 

 bring forward in vindication of some of his previously published 

 opinions — observations which, although bearing upon particular 

 points, are yet replete with those sound philosophical views 

 which pervade every production of his pen — he has favoured 

 us with a paper on the Ceratitis citriperda, an insect destructive 

 to ora7iges. We may remember the success with which Mr. 

 MacLeay, at a former period, called in the aid of science to the 

 VoL.lIL—- No. 13, Q
