In the year 1843 also, a set of shells was purchased from 

 Dr. H. P. C. Moller, illustrative of his work, " Index Molluscorum 

 GroenlandiaB," published in 1842. 



1844. 

 In the year 1844, very large collections made during the 

 Antarctic Expedition under Sir J. C. Ross, were presented by 

 the Lords of the Admiralty. 



J. B. Jukes, Esq., in 1844, presented extensive collections of 

 Mollusca made during the surveying voyage of H.M.S. Fly in 

 New Guinea, North Australia, etc. A few new species were 

 described by J. E. Gray in an Appendix to the second volume of 

 the narrative of the voyage by Jukes. Most of these specimens, 

 however, were from the collection of Mr. H. Cuming, which has 

 since (1866) been acquired for the Museum by jDurchase. 



1041 specimens collected during the same expedition of the 

 Fly by Mr. John Macgillivray, were presented to the Museum 

 in the years 1844-46. 



1845. 



347 shells from Jamaica were presented in 1845 by Prof. 

 C. B. Adams. This donation was of importance, as many of the 

 specimens were co-types of species described by the donor. 



In 1850 forty additional specimens representing co-types of 

 ten species were also received from Prof. Adams. 



1850. 



Capt. Kellett, R.N., and Lieut. Wood, R.N., presented in 

 1850 and 1855 a collection of 358 shells from California and 

 West Coast of Central and South America, obtained during 

 surveying voyages of H.M.S. Herald and Pandora. Of special 

 interest are the types of the new species described by Prof. E. 

 Forbes in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society for 1850 

 (pp. 53-56, 270-274). In 1859-60 the Museum received further 

 specimens collected by Mr. Macgillivray and others during this 

 voyage, namely, 733 examples from the Admiralty and 960 from 

 the Museum of Economic Geology. 



1851. 

 During the voyage of the BattlesnaJce, 1846-50, large col- 

 lections were made by Mr. J. Macgillivray in Australia and
