360 PROCEEDINGS OF THE SCIENTIFIC ASSOCIATION. 
8. R J. Lechmere Guppy, F.G.S. & L.S. — Further addi- 
tions to the catalogue of Land and Freshwater Molluska of 
Trinidad. 
9. Henry Prestoe, Government Botanist. — Catalogue of 
Plants in the Botanic Garden. 
The latter paper which is a valuable contribution to our 
stock of knowledge relative to this Island, will appear in the 
next Part of our Proceedings. As it will occupy much space, 
special arrangements. have been made by which the expense 
of printing will not fall on the Association. 
Donations of various publications have been made by the 
Sociedad de Ciencias of Caracas, and the exchange of otir 
respective proceedings has been agreed-to by that Society and 
ourselves. It is much to be wished that other scientific bo- 
dies in this part of the world, of which there are unfortunately 
but few, would similarly unite with us in the diffusion of 
valuable information. 
Allusion has already been made as to our having obtained 
a place of meeting in a public building. Our accommoda- 
tions are, however, anything but satisfactory, and it is to be 
hoped that before long better arrangements on this point will 
be made. 
I should bring under the notice of the Association the ne- 
cessity which will soon arise for binding the papers and books 
presented to the Society, and of adopting some rules whereby 
such donations may be made more accessible to the members 
for reading and reference.
