SCIENTIFIC INTELLIGENCE. 



As Helix Binneyana, a name given bj Mr. E. S. Morse 

 (Cat. Terrest. Pulmouifera of Maine, 1863,) to a new epecies 

 described by him, is preoccupied by Dr. Pfeiffer, (Zeit. fiir 

 Mai., 18-i7,) we propose tliat Mr. Morse's species be designated 

 hereafter as Helix Morsei. 



Our readers will be interested to learn that Mr. John G. 

 Anthony has departed with Prof. Agassiz and other na- 

 turalists, for Brazil. The party are under the direction of 

 Prof. A., and their object is, the collection of specimens of 

 natural science for the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cam- 

 bridge. Mass. Mr. Anthony is well known as a veteran col- 

 lector of shells, and will, doubtless, bring home with him 

 very large collections. The interior of Brazil has really been 

 very imperfectly explored for shells, and we may reasonably 

 expect that many species, unknown to science, will reward 

 the patience and skill Avhich Mr. A, knows so well how to 

 employ in his favorite pursuit. 



We notice that Mr. Jelski, of the University of Kieflf, is 

 about to depart for Cayenne, intending to explore the zoology, 

 and particularly the conchology, of that part of South 

 America; and another gentleman, M. Bocourt, of Paris, is 

 attached as zoologist to the Scientific Commission which the 

 I'rench Government is about to send to Mexico.
