208 rUOCEEDINGS OF THE MALACOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



and Gilolo, in our own " Proceedings " ; and on Mollusca from Trinidad 

 in the Journal of Concliology.' The Canaries have been dealt with 

 in our own pages by Gude ; and, subsequently to Smith, Von 

 MoUendorii has written * upon the Mollusca of South Celebes ; while, 

 in conjunction with Quadras, he has briefly described^ a number 

 of species from the Philippines, whence several genera have been 

 listed by Boettger,* with descriptions of new forms. 



Dall has published an elaborate review of our knowledge of the 

 terrestrial fauna of the Galapagos Islands," not unmixed with doubtful 

 speculation, in describing the collections made by Dr. G. Baur in 

 1890. Valuable critical reviews have been given by Fulton on 

 Amjihidromus, and Wagner ^ on Daudehardia ; and Hidalgo has 

 published some extensive critical notes on the species of Cochlostyla? 

 There has also appeared the first of what we hope may prove to be 

 a series of papers on North American Land- shells, by Pilsbry and 

 Vanatta, dealing both systematically and anatomically with Ariolimax 

 and Aphallarion.^ The same authors, too, have issued a Catalogue of 

 the genus Cerion ; whilst the armature of the various species of Gorilla 

 and Plectopylis has been worked out and figured by Gude.^ 



Central Asia has furnished new forms to Westerlund ; East Africa 

 to Von Martens ; and Borneo and the Hawaiian Islands have received 

 special attention. New forms from Bombay have been described by 

 Melvillin our " Proceedings," and from the Loyalty Islands elsewhere, 

 in conjunction with Standen. A number of new species of Pleuro- 

 tomidse have been recorded by Hervier '" from New Caledonia ; and 

 in generic work, De llochebrune on Ceratosoma,^^ and Lahille on the 

 Volutes of Argentina,'^ call for comment. 



A Catalogue of the marine fauna of the Pacific coast of Canada has 

 been compiled by the Pev. G. W. Taylor, in which he enumerates 

 279 species, and to which he adds a faun al list of fresh-water forms. 



Of the " Conchylien Cabinet" several parts have appeared, dealing 

 with ITelix, Ccrithium, Columbella, and the Bullacca. The " ^lanual 

 of Conchology" by Pilsbry has stcaddy progressed: in the Marine 

 aeries the Gastropoda are finished; in the land, the Bulimoid forms 

 have received attention ; new subgenera have been described, and in 

 separating genera the sculpture of the protoconch has been utilized. 

 Simroth, in Bronn's " Thier-lleich," has commenced the (Jlastropoda.
