214 UEPOKT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLII1. 



ceologicus. The letter-press by Sylvanus Hanley ; the 

 illustrations by W. Wood. London, 1843, roy. fol. Is 

 known to me only from the notice. Kiister's continuation 

 of the conchyliological work of Martini and Chemnitz pro- 

 gresses successfully ; I refer to the publisher's report which 

 is appended to the fifth part of this year's volume. 



Of an English work (Figures of Molluscous Animals, 

 selected from various authors; etched for the use of 

 Students. By Maria Emma Gray. Vol. i, London, 1842, 

 8vo.) I am acquainted only with a short notice in the 

 Annals, xi, p. 56. 



Among the continuations of works previously commenced 

 are to be enumerated, also, the second and third Parts of 

 Philippics Figures and Descriptions of new or little-known 

 Conchylia (Abbildungen u. Beschreib. neuer oder wenig 

 bekannter Conchylien.) Cassel, 1843. In this work are 

 delineated species from the genera, Helix, Bulimus, Melania, 

 Neritina, Trochus, Unio, Area, Venus, Tellina, and Solen. 

 The new species are noticed below. 



Of Hartmann's Land and Fresh-water Gasteropoda (Erd 

 ii. Siisswasser Gasteropoden) the seventh Part appeared in 

 1843, containing the figures of Pupa biyranata, Heterostoma 

 semitecta (Helix paupercula, Lowe), Helix (Chromocochlea) 

 Tahitensis, (Columplica] dolium and uniplicata, varieties of 

 Helix fruticum, nemoralis, lucifuya, and arbustorum, and 

 lastly, Scalarides of Planorbis dubius. The text, however, 

 refers partly to the figures of the sixth Part, to those of the 

 seventh, and even includes by anticipation those of the 

 eighth, which is itself to appear in 1844. Since, however, 

 that Part concludes the first volume, its contents may be 

 stated here. It contains figures of left-handed Helix arbus- 

 torum, and of specimens which have undergone reparation, 

 Scalarides of Valvata planorbis, Carocolla Zebuensis, Lowe, 

 Helix rota, Sow., Neritina viryinea, Lam., varieties of Helix 

 rhodostoma, H. montana, and sylvatica, some abnormal con- 

 ditions of Clausilia and Scalarides of Helix pomatia. The 

 volume is thus, as has been stated, concluded, and the title-
