ciatingly inartistic owing to the blocking out of all ground-tone, a 

 feature on which Mr. Strickland seems to pride himself. 



We have received volume V. of The Journal of Malacologv, 1896, 

 carefully bound up with the wrappers of the respective parts, as was to 

 be expected of a periodical that devotes so much attention to bibli- 

 ography. Besides the excellent annotated list of current literature, 

 the volume contains communications from G. W. Chaster, E. A. 

 Smith, A. S. Kennard, W. Moss, F. Stephenson, E. R. Sykes, and 

 Professor T. D. A. Cockerell. Mr. W. M. Webb, the editor, is 

 certainly to be congratulated on the appearance of his volume, printed 

 by Mr. J. Button of Chelmsford.
