22-t Anah/sis ofFtriodical Woils on Natural Histori/. 



p. 333 of our last volume supersedes the necessity of any 

 further detail of its contents. Of tlie fifth volume, lour num- 

 bers have also a})peared, the subjects figured and described in 

 which are as follows: 



No. 71. — PI. 408, &c. Crania Parisionsis with its upper valve.- FUcaiula 

 pcct'moidcs, and 1\ injlata (the former of the^e has been called aPlaciina by 

 Lamarck!): ]\Iu)-ex qiiadiatus and Culcar : Muve.c (dnulatm, M. defossjts, 

 and M. sci'dciilafiix: Bnrcinum labial um, and B. lavat urn : Buccinum cris- 

 patum. — No. 7~- V\A\'^, SiC. Buccinum telragonum, and B. incrassaliim: 

 Bnccinum dcxcrliun, and B. canaticulatiim: Murcx trwarinatiis, M. bispl- 

 nosus, and JM.froiidosus: Litcina divarlcata, exactly similar to the recent 

 shell : Mija dcpressa: Mt/a gibbasa, Mi/a intermedia var., and M.plicala. — 

 No. 73.— PI. 430, &c. Amiuonites Catena, long celebrated for its loose 

 joints: Ammonitex striatulns, sHbradialu,i and cristatus: Ventis transversa, 

 V. Uncolata, V. rlcgans, and V.¥ pcclinifera; this is probably distinct from 

 any known genus : Fiisus regularis, adult: F. complanatits, and F.Lima: 

 Kerita globosa, and N. apcrta; this has just appeared in Ferrussac's great 

 work imder the name of i\^. unidentala: Anuinia striata, generally con- 

 founded with A. Ephippium. — No. 74. PI. 420, &c. Two views of Doliurn 

 nodosum, a very curious and rare fossil : Cirrus pcrspecfivus, and C. de- 

 jiressus: Cirrus rotundafus, and C. carinatus : Mitra parva, and M. pu- 

 mila: Trigonia clongala (a variety of T. costata, according to Lamarck). 



The seven numbers which have ajipeared since our last notice of this work, 

 contain 3(5 new species, besides se\eral that were but imperfectly under- 

 stood. The shells figured by Brander iiave received particular attention, 

 and several species, especially of his Volutes, are cleared up. Several former 

 errors are corrected, and the characters of four genera are introduced. The 

 shelly productions of the crag and chalk a'so Iiave been examined, and se- 

 veral figured; so that probably there is not much left to be done eitlier in 

 those beds or in the London clay. 



G. B. Soxocrhij'' s Genera of Recent and Fossil Shells. No. 19. 



This number contains the following genera : Sigaretvs, including Crypto-

 univalve, rclateti to Ncrita ; Eburna, as distinguisiied from the Buccinum 

 spiratum and its congeners, which are usually united to it; Ranella; Phola- 

 domya, a new genus of bivalve Shells, of which a single recent species has 

 been lately found, but of which many fossil species have been hitherto de- 

 scril)ed as Cardit^e, Lutraria, &:c.
