Meetings, 1888. 



neatness of mounting will be taken into consideration in 

 awarding the prizes ; and in the case of Shells, the number of 

 specimens, their condition and the arrangement. Collections 

 with the species named will have special consideration. 



Collectors must affix a distinguishing motto or word upon 

 each paper or card in their collection, and also upon a sealed 

 envelope containing the name and address of the collector, 

 which shall be delivered with the collection. 



The collections must be brought to the Guille- Alles Library 

 on Saturday, September 1st. After examination they will be 

 arranged for exhibition, of which notice will be given. 



N.B. —The names of intending competitors must be given 

 to the Librarian on or before August 24th. 



September 7 th. — A meeting of the Committee was held to 

 examine the collections of Seaweeds and Shells sent in for com- 

 petition. Three of these were found specially deserving of 

 prizes, but as none of them had complied with all the require- 

 ments named in the conditions they were not entitled to the 

 first class, each, however, had special points which were highly 

 commended, and the Committee decided to rank them in the 

 second class, and to give to each a prize of eight francs. 



On opening the envelopes the names were found to be C. 

 L. Eandell, Allez-street ; Ira Ozanne, Church Lane, St. Samp- 

 son's, and M. A. Eandell, Allez-street. 



A prize of three francs was also awarded to E. J. Bichard 

 for a collection of shells. 



It was also decided that the prize collections be open for 

 inspection by the public in one of the rooms of the Guille-Alles 

 Library on Wednesday next.
