Ponsonby (John H.). 



In 1898 a large collection of marine shells from South Africa, con- 

 sisting of 3250 specimens, was presented by Mr. Ponsonby. He has 

 since added a large number to it. It includes the types of many new 

 species described by G. B. Sowerby and E. A. Smith. Mr. Ponsonby has 

 also presented the types of 126 species of land and freshwater shells, 

 also from South Africa, described by himself in conjunction with Mr. 

 J. C. Melvill. 



Rang (Paul Karel Sander Leonard). [1784-1859], and

A collection of Mollusca was obtained in the year 1854 from the 

 executors of M. Souleyet, which was said to contain the type-specimens 

 described and figured in the " Histoire naturelle des Mollusques 

 Pteropodes," by Pang and Souleyet, and in the " Voyage de La Bonite," 

 by Eydoux and Souleyet. A list of these specimens, compiled by J. E. 

 Grey, was published by the Trustees in 1855.
