The following Systematic List of the Maltese Testacea 

 arranged according to Lamarck's Classification, with the 

 degree of rarity or frequency of certain of them, the lo- 

 calities where some of them may be found, andthe diag- 

 noses of several species discovered and described by the 

 late Mr. Giuseppe Mamo, of the Central Hospital, has been 

 prepared from his four original MSS. on Maltese Mollusca 

 and from other loose papers consigned to me by Mrs. Mamo. 



As the four MSS. exhibit many variations and correc- 

 tions, great care and diligence have been used in gleaning the 

 information contained in them, and I am much indebted 

 to Mr. Charles A. Wright for the kind assistance he 

 has lent me. 



I deem it proper to make the Report on Mr. Mamo's 

 MSS. and general Collection of Shells, which I sent in to 

 the Society of Archaeology, History, and Natural Sciences, 

 precede the Local List. I have also included the native 

 Fossil Species, so as to form as complete a catalogue a3 our 

 present information permits of the Maltese Mollusca.
