longitudinal lines, two plicae 011 the columella. West coast of New 

 Holland. 



Cassis pauciruffis, Menkc (1. c.), differs from C. pyrum by the lip being 

 toothed internally. 



Murex anilllarum, centrlfuga,festwus,foveolatm, ananas, Belcheri, californi- 

 cus, hamatus, cirrosus, gravidus, radicatus, and^m'fe, Hinds (Proc. p. 126.) 

 M. Boivinii, Kiener (1. c.), without assigned locality, alveatus, exiguus, id., 

 all with more than three varices, calcar, id., with laniellated varices. 



L. Pfeiffer gives a ' Notice Critique a uue Monograplu'e du genre Tritonium, 

 Cuv.,' in which eighty-nine species are enumerated, since the genus Ranella is 

 united with Tritonium. (Rev. Zool. p. 134.) The chief object of this 

 Monograph is to clear up the synonymy and to do justice to priority in the 

 names. Meiike describes (1. c.) a new species : T. rutllum, from New 

 Holland. 



Eanella californica, Hinds (Annals, xi, p. 255), with a single row of 

 tubercles, and transverse granulated striae, the last whorl with many rows of 

 tubercles. California. 



Hinds gives three new species of Broderip's genus, Trichotropis, from the 

 collection of Captain Belcher, of H. M. S. Sulphur (Proc. p. 17) : T. cancel- 

 lata, inermis, scudjtacida, the two former from Sitka. He describes, also, 

 from the same collection : Typkis quadratus, from the Bay of Guayaquil, T. 

 arciiatus, from the Cape, and T. nitens, from Macassar. 



Fusm ventricosus and exilis, Menke (1. c.) 



Lovell Reeve (Proc. p. 31) institutes ten new species of Pleurotoma, which 

 it is said are to be forthwith figured in his 'Conchologia iconica.' P. Garnonsii 

 (babylonia, var., Kiener), spectabilis, both from the Philippines, exasperata, 

 arcuata, from Central America, picta, Beck, MS., from Panama, papalis (mitra- 

 formis, var., Kiener), obesa, virffinea,~Beck, MS., from the mouth of the Gambia, 

 annulata, and catena. (Ib. p. 36) are eight species of the same genus, col- 

 lected by R. B. Hinds in the Voyage of the Sulphur. P. nolilis, from 

 Mexico, gemmata, from California, jubata, from China, stolida and. gratis, from 

 the Cape, wermis, from California, molacea, from New Guinea. These species 

 belong to that division of the genus which possesses a long canal, from which 

 the author separates the division, Clavatula, Lam., with a short canal, in which 

 he describes forty -nine new species collected in the most various seas. In the 

 third division, Mangelia, Leach, in which the want of operculum is stated as 

 probable, five species are next described : cinnamomea, coronata, vittata 

 oriza, and celebensis, all from Macassar. (Ib. p. 181) follow thirty species, 

 by Reeve, which are figured in the ' Couchologia iconica.' 



Hinds institutes, in the ' Annals,' xi, p. 256, a new genus, Cyrtulus, in the 

 family of the Pyrulidse.
