Obituary Notice op Robert Swift, Corresponding Member. 
I have also to announce to you the death cf Mr. Robert 
Swift of St. Thomas, corresponding member of this Asso- 
ciation. Mr. Swift was established as a merchant at St. 
Thomas, and during his long residence there he devoted 
much time and attention te the study of the Molluska. 
He formed a large and fine collection of shells, and it is 
understood that the collection will be acquired by the 
Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. He had 
been in failing health for some years past — and on his 
retirement from business he took up his residence in 
Philadelphia, but finding the climate too trying for him, 
he returned to St. Thomas. 
Contributions towards a Bibliography op Trinidad.

works. In this hope they were disappointed — and 
they have received no aid whatever in their labors. On 
this account indulgence is asked, first, for the long delay 
in the publication of the Second Part, and in the ne^t 
place, for its incompleteness. Notwithstanding these draw- 
backs, there can be little doubt of the utility of the com-
