Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Conchologist, Vol. 2: A Journal of Malacology
With this number the second volume of The Conchologist is concluded, and with it the paper as a general journal of the Mollusca will cease to exist. The reasons for such a step are already known to many. The paper was started with the object of improving the study of the Mollusca in this country, and in looking back upon the short space of three years we feel much has been achieved. Our effort has culminated in the foundation of a Malacological Society - now an active and vigorous body. The need of an independent paper has, therefore, in a large measure ceased to exist, and the Proceedings of the Society will only be weakened by the continued existence of this paper, so we readily retire from the field wishing the Society a long and prosperous career, and inviting subscribers to The Conchologist to lend their support to such an effort.
