Abstract
On April 16, after a few days' illness, Miss Anne L. Massy died at Howth, Co. Dublin. Living in her earlier years in the neighbourhood of that classical collecting ground of the old conchologists, the Velvet strand near Malahide, she soon acquired a very thorough knowledge, for an amateur, of the Irish marine mollusca, and when, in 1901, she was employed by the Irish Fishery Department in connexion with its biological work under the late E. W. L. Holt, her field of research was widened and she rapidly put herself in touch with the most recent systematic work on the Mollusca, taking a special interest in the pteropods and cephalopods.
