FIELD MEETINGS FOR 1866. 263 



Report on the Terrestrial and Fluviatile Mollusca of Palestine. 



Report on the Mammalia of Palestine. 



In the Linnean Proceedings Mr. Tristram gives us a Few 

 Botanical Notes on Palestine; in The This he is at the present 

 time bringing out a series of papers, as yet not nearly completed, 

 " On the Ornithology of Palestine;" and yet further, this active 

 writer has undertaken to prepare for publication, by the Kay 

 Society, "A Synopsis of the Fauna and Flora of Palestine." 



Lastly, Mr. George Wailes promises us the early completion of 

 his Catalogue of Lepidoptera, the first part of which was pub- 

 lished in the third volume of our Transactions. 



"We thus see that we are actively engaged in pursuing the 

 several lines of investigation which we have chosen for ourselves ; 

 and probably at no previous time have the naturalists of our dis- 

 trict had so much scientific work in hand, or contributed so 

 largely in a single year to the literature of Natural History.
