NOTICES OF SERIALS. 



Dublin; omitting, for the present, Helix hortensis (as Mr. Gordon follows 

 Forbes and Hanly), he leaves 48 as the number given by Mr. Walpole in Dublin 

 thus, with our superior natural advantages, giving us a majority of only 2 over 

 Moray ; when, as we know, that instead of 48, we possess at least 57, thus 

 raising the majority to 11 : farther, whole families are omitted in Mr. Walpole's 

 list, as the " Tunicata," " Brachipoda," " Nudibranchiata," and the " Cephalopoda," 

 all of which have their representatives with us. As it is intended shortly to give a 

 complete catalogue of the Molluscean Fauna of Dublin and Dublin Bay, and to in- 

 stitute a more equitable comparison between it and our northern friends of Moray ; 

 we shall dwell no longer on the subject here. If we have any other fault with 

 this catalogue, it is that of giving the English names ; and we think this trivial in 

 the extreme. We do not feel inclined to ridicule ; but, which of the readers of the 

 " Zoologist" would know the Physa hypnorum under the title of " Ferruginous Bubble- 

 sheirand so in countless instances. Mr. Gordon professes himself to be a fol- 

 lower of our deeply-lamented friend, Professor E. Forbes, and of Silvanus Hanley ; 

 but, surely, he never learnt this of them. (W. F. Templer) Some remarks on the 

 Marine Fauna of the South of Devon. We trust Mr. Templer will not forget to 

 favour the editor of the " Zoologist" with his list of Zoophytes, as their distribution is 

 a subject of much interest. (H. T. Stainton) Entomological Botany, with more 

 special reference to the plants frequented by the Tineina. This is a most interest- 

 ing paper, and we hope to see the subject fully treated in future numbers. (E. T. 

 Ingpen) Extract from a Letter of a Gold-digger; (O. Mosley) Kemarkable 

 Anecdote of a Hedgehog ; (E. H. Rodd) Occurence of the Short-toed Lark at

 man) Amphipeplia involuta ; (H. Stainton) On the want of some Systematic 

 Record of the New Additions continuously made to our Entomological 

 Fauna. The idea contained in this notice, which deserved the most conspicuous 

 part of the "Zoologist," our readers will find fully carried out in the "Entomologists' 

 Annual."* (J. N. Winter) Capture of Catocala Fraxini at Brighton. Proceedings 

 of Societies Entomological Society, September 4, 1854 ; Tyneside Naturalists'

 31st August. Society of British Entomologists, September 6, 1854. 



No. 145, November : (J. C. Dale) Remarks on Mr. F. Smith's " Catalogue of 

 British Hymenoptera Aculeata." What the remarks are, we are perfectly unable 

 to make out. (W. T. Burnett, M.D.) Researches on the Development of Vivi- 

 parous Aphides. This is a reprint from Silliman's Journal for January, 1854. 

 Our readers will find the most important part of this paper given in page 216 of the
