Several lots of shells have been named, for Oberlin College, 
Ohio, and for the private collections of H. K. Morrell, of Gar- 
diner, Me., James N. Bishop, of Plainville, Conn., and Mrs. 
Wells, of Cambridge. 
Considerable work has been done in the transfer and care of 
the collection of Fossil Plants, and in storing and labelling collec- 
tions of Vertebrate Fossils as they have been received. 
Some weeks have been occupied in naming and describing 
several small collections of fossil shells from Mount Lebanon, 
Syria, with a view to publication. 
The exchanges of the year have been as follows : — 
From Lieut. C. E. Beddome of Hobart, Tasmania, have been received 
279 species, 1400 specimens, of recent marine shells of Tasmania. 
From Count Emil Kornis, of Buda-Pesth, a lot of Hungarian Helices. 
To Mr. O. N. Fearon have been sent, in return for Fossil Fishes from 
the Coal Measures of East Liverpool, Ohio, 57 species, 157 specimens, of 
recent Gasteropod shells. 
To Mr. H. K. Morrell, of Gardiner, Me., and to Prof. L. A. Lee, of 
Bowdoin College, small lots of shells in exchange for other shells.
