Bibliographical Notices. 335 
These particular specimens or published types (by no means often 
real biological types of species or genera) have unfortunately in 
many cases been mislaid, or even lost; but to ensure that in future 
paleontological workers should be able to find and examine them, 
it has been proposed that catalogues should be made of such “ types ” 
existing in public and private museums. The Bristol Museum has 
already supplied such a list, and the Catalogue before us is one of 
such a desirable series. It contains notes on 1666 specimens that 
have been either described or alluded to (with or without figures) 
in books and memoirs, with references to authors, works, localities, 
and formations; also to donors and collectors; adding synonyms 
and occasional notes. 
Of these published ‘“ types,” then, in the Woodwardian Museum 
paleontologists may find :—fossils of doubttul alliance, 17 ; plants, 
37; sponges, 22; graptolites, 29; corals, 126; echinoderms (in 
seven divisions), 122; worms, 13; polyzoans, 43; brachiopods, 143; 
lamellibranchs, 291; gasteropods, 267 ; other molluscs, 141; trilo- 
bites, 136 ; decapods, 34; phyllocarids, 24; other crustaceans, 15 ; 
fishes, 75; reptiles, 74; other vertebrates, 17, 
This book is well and clearly printed. There are but few verbal 
errors to be noted besides those in the ‘“ Corrigenda,”—such as 
Anomozamites minus {minor}, from the careless copying of a former 
specific name; so also Acidaspis erinaceus instead of erinacea, 
and p. 45, Trachyderma levis {ve}; p. 115, Trochonema byju- 
gosa {|sum]; p. 126, Crioceras occultus [tum]; p. 169, Dorato- 
rhynchus validum [dus]; Bowmani, at p. 146, and Philippi, at 
p- 169, are misspelt, and the diphthongs are dropped in Meandrina 
and Thamnastrea. At p. 154 “Glyphea” should be Glyphea, 
and sublevis should be sublevis. These are flaws in a book of 
nomenclature. ‘The degradation of the rightful capitals in specific 
terms derived from proper names, and the capricious reduction of di in 
genitives to a single 2, are nomenclatural faults due to the mistaken 
notions of the neo-classicists. We should have liked that their 
puristic notions had been better directed, and that they had printed 
Lindstremia and Geepperti with real diphthongs instead of with the 
modified vowel of the Germans; so also Miinsteri should be 
Muensteri. 
Delagoa Bay: its Natives and Natural History. By Rosz Monteiro. 
With Mlustrations. G. Philip and Son, 1891, 
Turs brightly-written little book is from a lady whose name is well 
known at Kew Gardens for the dried. plants and seeds she has sent 
home, and also to many entomologists as a collector of insects ; 
the frontispiece showing nine new species of African butterflies 
which she discovered during her second visit to Delagoa Bay. The 
author was no novice in African life, for she had already been in 
Angola with her husband, the late J. J. Monteiro, an Englishman
