 probably be out before the end of the year ; " Antedon," 

 the rosy feather-star, by Mr. Chadwick, is nearly com- 

 pleted; "Cancer," the edible crab, by Mr. Pearson; 

 " Pecten," the scallop, by Mr. Dakin ; and " Doris," 

 the sea-lemon, by Sir Charles Eliot, are all far advanced.

 elaboration of the subject more detailed illustration is 

 necessary. The Committee are therefore very grateful 

 to Sir John B runner for a welcome donation of £50 which 

 he has kindly sent to the Treasurer, to meet the expenses 

 of plates for several of the above-mentioned Memoirs.
