named the species Artemia oudneyi, from drawings sent home by Dr. Vogel. 

 Lievin has described it here from specimens communicated by Dr. Petermann, 

 which, though they had lain many years in spirits, have afforded materials for a 

 pretty complete description of the external anatomy, correcting Dr. Vogel's 

 sketches in some points. The author agrees with Grube that Artemia Leach 

 is not a natural genus, and accordingly refers the species to Branchipus. (Same)

 (Halbertsma) On Hermaphroditismus spurius femininus ; with two plates 

 — pp. 18. (Van der Hoeven) On the genus Icticyon ; with a plate— pp. 10. 

 Burmeister, in his Systematic Synopsis of the Animals of Brazil, has referred 

 the genus Icticyon Lund (Cynalicus Gray) to the Mustelidse, on the ground of 

 its having only one tubercular grinder on each side in both jaws. Van der 

 Hoeven here vindicates its position among the Canidse, with which it agrees 

 better in other characters, showing that the number is not constant in that 

 family. Thus, in Otocyon there are four tubercular grinders in the upper jaw and 

 three in the lower ; in Canis azarce, three above and two below ; in C. alpinus 

 (as Gray has already stated), there are two in the upper, but only one in the 

 lower jaw ; the same is the case with C. sumatranus, Gray, which is, probably, 

 identical with C. rutilans Temminck, in one specimen only of which last Van 

 der Hoeven found two in both jaws, while five other specimens showed but one 

 in the lower jaw. (Same) Contribution to the Anatomy of Nautilus pompilius,
