6. Memoir on the Pearly Nautilus (Nautilus Pompilius, Lin.), with 

 Illustrations of its External Form and Internal Structure. 

 Drawn up by Richard Owen, Member of the Royal College 

 of Surgeons of London, and Assistant Conservator of the Mu- 

 seum of the College. With Plates. Published by direction of 

 the Council. 4to. Pp. 68. London 1832. 

 This interesting memoir, which will be received by zoologists 

 and comparative anatomists as an important addition to our 

 knowledge of the internal structure of cephalopadous molkisca, 

 is highly creditable to the skill and dexterity of Mr Owen as a 

 comparative anatomist. The dissections are illustrated by a 

 very beautiful series of engravings from Mr Owen's elegant 

 drawings. The specimen of this rare animal, anatomized by 

 our author, was taken in Marekini Bay, in the island of Erro- 

 manga, one of the New Hebrides, in 1829, by Mr Bennet, 

 F. L. S., and of the Royal College of Surgeons in London, and 

 by liim presented to the magnificent Museum of Comparative 

 Anatomy of the Royal College of Surgeons of London.
