raneously, contaius a revision of some of the recent genera, founded 

 on the dissection of the soft parts of the animals. Hence the new 

 genus Scottia, Brady, takes Ciipris Browniana, Jones ; Eiyetocypris, 

 B. & N., takes Candona {Cypris) reptans, Baird; and Ilyoct/pris, 

 B. & N., absorbs Ramdohr's Cypris gihba. Cypris Icevis of the 

 Suppl. Tert. Monogr. is referred to Cypvia serena (Koch) and Can- 

 dona compressa to C. pid>cscens (Koch). These corrections can bo 

 readily made and with advantage. 



Careful tables of the species in natural order, with their geolo- 

 gical distribution, at pages 3-8 and 48-51, and the usual index of 

 accepted and disused names, form part of this Suppl. Tert. Monogr. 

 The three plates give very clear illustrations of 68 species and 

 varieties which required figuring ; and a uniform scale of amplifica- 

 tion having been preserved throughout, the specimens have a more 

 natural appearance than would otherwise have been the case. Five 

 woodcuts also illustrate some species in the body of the work. We 

 may note also that almost all the specimens described and figured 

 are to be found in either the British Museum or the Museum of 

 Practical Greology. Geologists will be glad of this work, and will 

 thank the Palaeontographical Society for publishing so useful a 

 Monograph.

 Zealand Birds {at the Manor- House, Letcomh Regis), with short 

 Descriptive Notes by Sir Waltek L. Bullek, K.C.M.G., D.Sc, 

 P.R.S. 8vo. E. A. Pethcrick and Co., London, 1888. 



Many of our readers may remember seeing eight handsome cases of 

 birds in the New-Zealand Court of the Colonial and Indian Exhi- 

 bition in 1886, and the contents of these, as well as four others, are 

 now described. Short explanatory notes render this work far more 

 than a mere catalogue, and its value is enhanced by the introduction 

 of a number of woodcuts from the last edition of the ' Birds of JN^ew 

 Zealand.'

Notes on some neiv and little-Tcnoiun British Jurassic Fishes *. 

 By A. Smith Woodward, F.G.S., F.Z.S. 



The remains of many undescribed fossil fishes from British Jurassic 

 formations are preserved in various collections, and the author 

 remarks upon a few of the more prominent types. Some are of 

 genera already recognized on the continent, but not hitherto dis- 

 covered in England.
