Zoological Journal. 649 



to September, 1831. It contains some valuable contributions 

 to natural science. There is a majority of papers on Mol- 

 liisca. They are these: a paper, by the Rev. T. Lowe, on 

 the genera Melampus, Pedipes, and Truncatella; with Ex- 

 periments tending to demonstrate the real Nature of the 

 respiratory Organs in the Mollusca. This paper is il- 

 lustrated by figures, and occupies twenty-four pages. One 

 by the Rev. M. J. Berkeley, on the internal Structure and 

 Affinities of the Helicolimax (Vitrina) LamarckzV, and of the 

 animal there are five figures in the supplementary plates. 

 This paper, of nine pages, is properly a supplement to that 

 by Mr. Lowe on this subject, in vol. iv. p. 343. of the 

 Journal. W. G. Broderip, Esq. F.R.S., has a paper de- 

 scriptive of a new cowry, and other Testacea, brought to 

 England by the Rev. Archdeacon Scott. M. Verany con- 

 tributes a paper, in the French language, on the Carinaria 

 mediterranea, of which there are two figures in the supple- 

 mentary plates : this seems a most interesting animal. An 

 article, entitled, " Description of the Cirrhipeda, Conchifera, 

 and Mollusca, in a Collection formed by the Officers of His 

 Majesty's ships Adventure and Beagle, employed between 

 the years 1826 and 1830 in surveying the Southern Coasts 

 of South America, including the Strait of Magelhaens and 

 the Coast of Tierra del Fuego;" by Captain King, assisted 

 by Mr. Broderip. A new species of herring has been dis- 

 covered among the finny visiters of our coasts, by Mr. Yarrell, 

 who describes it, and names it Clupea Leach?/; of this there 

 is a figure. In entomology, A. H. Haliday, Esq., supplies an 

 article termed " the Characters of two new Dipterous Genera; 

 with Indications of some Generic Sub-divisions and several 

 undescribed Species of Dolichopidae : " there are some figures 

 illustrative of this article. Our valued contributor, Mr. West- 

 wood, communicates some supplementary notices to some of 

 his previous papers. There are some articles additional to 

 these, named "Analytical Notices of Books;" and '* Scientific 

 Notices." Among the latter, Mr. Thomson presents some 

 corroborative remarks on the Metamorphoses of the decapo- 

 dous Crustacea. The supplementary plates exhibit Para- 

 doxurus leucopus (white-footed), Mustela flavigula (yellow- 

 throated), A^xms Rafflesn; Osphromenus olfax, or goramy ; 

 Helicolimax LamarckzV, Carinaria mediterranea, Myochama 

 anomioides, Cleidothae'rus <7hamoides, twelve species ot'Chhon; 

 coleopterous insects, Rhysodes exaratus, Catogenus rufus, Cu- 

 cujus piceus ? Cucujus unifasciatus ? with numerous figures, 

 exhibitive of the anatomical details of these insects.
