viii Proceedings. [December 15th, igoj. 



Dr. W. E. HoYLE, F.R.S.E., exhibited a model of the mole's 

 nest, prepared by Mr. Lionel E. Adams and presented by him to 

 the Manchester Museum. Mr. Adams read a paper on the subject 

 before the Society on November i8th, 1902. The model is in 

 three parts, and shows the construction of a typical nest of the 

 male mole very clearly. 



The lower part of the base contains a circular cavity for the 

 nest with several outlets just below the surface. Immediately 

 above this, but not in any way communicating with the nest or 

 with the tunnels leading from the nest, is another series of 

 channels or runs. Above this again is the familiar mound or 

 mole-hill, being made up of the soil which is forced upwards- 

 during the work of excavation and tunnelling beneath the 

 surface. 



Mr. F. F. Laidlaw, B.A., read a paper entitled, " Sugges- 

 tions for a Revision of the Classification of the 

 Polyclad Turbellaria."
