Succinea Japonica, Newc, is made a synonym ? of #. lauta, 

 Gould. Mr. Adams misspells the name of the first author " New- 

 combe." Our ubiquitous friends Helix minuscula, Binney, ZT. 

 nitida, Mull., and jET. electrina, Gould, are included in this Jap- 

 anese list. 



Observations on some proposed New Species of Oliva. By 

 F. P. Marrat. 



This number of the Annals had not been examined by us when 

 we reviewed Mr. Ponton's paper, published in the preceding 

 number ; we were therefore much gratified to find that, as we had 

 anticipated, Mr. Marrat's species had been attacked too hastily. 

 He commences his paper as follows : — " In the May number of 

 the ' Annals,' p. 344, Mr. Ponton, of Clifton, has taken excep- 

 tion to the whole of my proposed new species of the genus Oliva. 

 It is, I think, a grave offence to occupy the pages of the 'An- 

 nals' with conclusions hastily adopted ; (Gf-ood !) and I there- 

 fore beg permission to clear myself of the implied charge of 

 having done so." He then proceeds at length, and successfully, 

 to defend his species.
