which he wisely does not wisli to s])ecify. There are also 

 three large colonies, some of them of immense size, which 

 I discovered in tAvo of the inner (iouliot (;aves in Sark. 



A paper by Mr. E. Sharp was read at the October 

 meeting on " The Echinoderms of (Inernsey," with a list of 

 38 species. This is a contribntion of considerable importance, 

 as it brings our knowledge of the subject up to date and adds 

 a good many species to the ])revious rec.'ord. The pai)er will 

 be published in oin* next Transact ions. 



The discovery of an exceedingly interesting mollusc, new 

 to Guernsey, has to be recorded. It is the great Fan Mussel 

 {Pinna, nidis), of which one specimen was found by Mr. K. 

 P. Spencer in the spring of this year on the north-western 

 side of Herm. The mollusc was alive, buried half down in 

 the sand at extreme Ioav Avater mark, Avith the broad end 

 exposed. This shell has been taken in deep Avater off Jersey, 

 but tliis is the first occuri-ence in the Sarnian area. It was 

 exhibited at the October meeting, and Mr. Spencer has 

 presented it to the Museum.
