Die Conchylien des Mlttelmeeres ; lhre geographische und geologi- 

 sche Verbreltung. By H. C. Wkinkauff. Vol. I. Mollusca Acephala. 

 Cassel. 8vo, 301 pp. 1867. 



This very acceptable work contains no descriptions, but very 

 full and apparently careful synonymy, as well as full lists of 

 localities and valuable notes. At the conclusion of the volume, 

 the species (numbering 242) are tabulated for the purpose of 

 exhibiting at a glance their geographical and geological dis- 

 tribution. 



The only new species noticed is 



Pecten Crunellarii filii, Biondi. 



We have a very decided objection to the above style of specific 

 nomenclature. If the species be admitted as named by Biondi, 

 why should we not accord a like favor to all the pre-Linnean 

 authors ?
