Chequers Hotel. The special object ol the excursion was to give the members an 
opportunity of becoming acquainted with methods of collecting our hard and 
freshwater molluscs. A considerable number of species were obtained by Mr.

and by Mr. Wilfred Mark Webb, F. L.S., who conducted the ramble. After tea 
Mr. Webb gave a short address on some of the many points of interest presented 
by molluscs generally, and illustrated his remarks with diagrams and a large 
number of British and foreign shells, both terrestrial and marine, including some 
living land shells from the State of Oaxaca in Mexico.
