 1008, pp. 124, 12.5. 

 A revision of tlie group ba.'sod on

 ing new subdivisions are proposed :

 Deshayes ; TrrpIoslephanKS for Terc- 

 hra triseriafa Gray ; Acuminia for 

 Tcrebra lanccata Linnaeus ; and 

 Duplicarid for forms like Terehra 

 duplicata Lamarck. A new tech- 

 nical term, " pervious," is proposed 

 for the condition when the axis of 

 a spiral gastropod is coiled about 

 a central vacant space without sepa- 

 rating it from the cavity of the 

 whorls, in contradistinction to 

 " perforate." which indicates an 

 asuil umbilicus completely separated 

 from the cavity of the whorls.
