On the Shell referred to by Ure in his “History of Rutherglen and Kilbride,” as “a species of Patella.”—Dr Fleming called the attention of the Society to the extraordinary merits of Mr Ure, who died in 1798, leaving a memorial, in the work above referred to, and which was published at Glasgow in 1793, of an acquaintance with organic remains unequalled on the part of any contemporary author of the United Kingdom. This work, however, is very seldom referred to by modern palæontologists, although eminently useful in illustrating the progress of discovery. It was likewise stated, that an additional degree of interest must be felt by the members of the Society, in consequence of a collection of organic remains, chiefly marine, and from the carboniferous limestone, which belonged to Mr Ure, having been presented by Mr Stark, and which now occupies a place in the cases up stairs.
