contains a very fine set of Limncea glutinosa, also a very 

 fine specimen (scalariforme) of Helix nemoralis, which was 

 taken alive. He has collected three species introduced through 

 the channels of trade — viz., with bananas and raisins. This 

 work is to be highly commended, as it helps to explain the 

 dispersal of molluscs. 



The other set received for competition from Mr. George 

 Reilly we think worthy of commendation ; it contains 56 

 species and two varieties. Some new stations have been dis- 

 covered by him for some of our rarer species — viz., Helix 

 arbustorum and Helix lamellata.

LIBRARY REPORT. 



We have received during the past year the usual number of 

 Transactions and Proceedings from kindred scientific and other 

 societies, and a large number of volumes of great interest from 

 English and American Scientific Institutes — in all about 80 

 books and pamphlets. It is to be regretted that we have no 

 cases to store them, so that they could be made available to the 

 members for consultation. 



GEO. DONALDSON, Librarian.
