LIUL.—A List of the Gasteropoda collected in Japanese Seas by 
Commander H. C. St. John, R.N. By Epaar A. Siru, 
F.Z.S., Zoological Department, British Museum. 
ALL the specimens which represent the species included in the 
following list were liberally presented to the National Collec- 
tion by Mr. J. Gwyn Jeffreys. Certain species dredged at 
the same time, and stated by Mr. Jeffreys (Journal Linn. Soc., 
Zoology, vol. xu. pp. 100-107) to be identical with, or but 
varieties of, European forms, will not now be enumerated, as 
they have not as yet come under my observation. Before 
commencing the list, I would add that the shells have been 
most admirably collected by Commander St. John, to whom 
the greatest praise and thanks are due. The care bestowed in 
preserving the exact localities, the depth at which they were 
dredged, at times even the temperature of the water, and also 
the nature of the sea-bottom, indicates a vast amount of labour 
and energy, which it would be well if more frequently imitated, 
as such information always greatly adds to the interest of the 
subject, and facilitates and adds security to the determination 
of species. In a future communication [ propose to give a list 
of the Conchifera.
