IP eR EI JAN SIE,

(LOR above twenty years I have devoted
IF myself to the study and collecting of shells.
Now my collection contains about ten
thousand species. Of this number, not less than
one thousand have been discovered by myself,
and added for the first time to the list of shells of
the world.

For the benefit of the public, I intended to
establish a conchological museum, and show these
large numbers of shells to the people.

As a harbinger, a conchological exhibition for
a short period was proposed, to which Baron
Dr. D. Kixucut, President of the Kyoto Imperial
University, Hon. S. Omori, Governor of Kyoto
Prefecture, and Hon. K. Saco, Mayor of Kyoto
City, all gave their hearty approval. So it was
at last decided to hold the exhibition in a part of
the Kyoto Library from Oct 22nd to Nov. 4th,
ig10, lasting two weeks. Great numbers of
specimens were sent or presented to the exhibition
from conchologists, collectors, and businessmen,
both abroad and at home. The number of
spectators reached as many as fifteen thousand
during the period.

Now I shall briefly describe the exhibition
rooms.

In the north room, Japanese specimens were
arranged according to the latest classification. In
the south room, foreign specimens were exhibited
in the order of the nations a tourist passes when
he goes round the world. In the hall connecting
the two rooms, large specimens both from home
and abroad were shown. On the walls of every
room and the hall, various pictures, paintings, and
illustrations were hung. In many other places |
exhibited all kinds of articles that were made of
shells or in the shape of shells, various designs
and many books or pamphlets relating to shells,
and great numbers of other specimens.

In this way, I tried my best to break the
monotony of the exhibition, and to give pleasure
and satisfaction to all visitors, both scholars and
businessmen, high and low, and young and old.
An account of it appeared in several newspapers.
I am well convinced that this exhibition has more
or less effected its purpose in diffusing the know-
ledge of shells, and an interest in them among
people who were all strangers to nature.

In memory of the exhibition, I have had photo-
graphs taken of the most important and prominent
specimens, modcls and other things, and have made
an album of them, so that I can present a copy to
each of my dear, kind friends.

THE WING SHELL.
This represents Pterza brevialata on Plexaura (coral pines).
It is called “Uguisu-gai” (Nightingale Shell), because it
resembles the nightingale in shape.
