We heartily congrutulate Dr. Dall on the completion of his great work. The 

 tirst part was issued in 1890, and further parts have been issued from time to time, 

 the sixth completing this invaluable monograph. In all the work comprises upwards 

 of seventeen hundred printed pages and sixty beautiful plates containing over eleven 

 hundred figures. 



In the present part the author continues his review of the Tclcodcsinacca, follow- 

 ing with the Anoiiuiloilcsiiiacca, and describes many new species in both orders. 

 The Brachiopoda are next treated of, and finally a most interesting and valuable 

 '• Discussion of the Geology" is given.

 of the family Pyramidellidae. Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 1904, vol. xvii, 

 pp. 1—6. 



The authors recognise four genera, viz., Pyraiiiidclla, Lam., Tiirboiiilla, Risso, 

 Odostoniia, Flem., and Miircliisonclla, Minch. The first genus is then divided into 

 24 sub-genera and sections of which the following are new : Milda, (Type Ohtiisciis 

 i'cntricosiis, Quoy), I'oliispa (Type Pyraiiiidclla aiiricoma, Dall), Callolojigcliaeiis (Type 

 P. Jaiiiaicciisis, Dall), Ulfa (Type P. (Ulfa) cossiiiaiini, nom. tiov. = Syniola striata, 

 Cossm.), Tropacas (Type P. sitlnilata, A. Ads.), I'ai^iia (Type P. painiwfciisis, Tryon), 

 Cossiiiaiiiiica (Type P.claiidcstiiia, Desh.), Oritiella, nom, nov. (Type Oriiia pitigiiiciila, 

 A. Ad?.), S///ct)n';/c7/a (Type P.{S.) dodoiia, n. sp.), Iphiaiia (Type Syniola dciisisti lata, 

 Garrett), and Synioliiia (Type Svriiola rubra, Pse.). 



The second genus is divided into 21 sub-genera and sections the following being 

 new : Saccoina, nom. nov. (Type Spica moiitcrosatoi, Sacco), Visiiia (Type Enliiinila 

 tennis, Sbj'.), Lancclla, nom. nov. (Type Tnrbonilla (Lancea) tiongafa, Pse.), Asnintida 

 (Type Clifiniiitzia tnrrifa, C. B. Ad.) and Baldra (Type Tnrbonilla {B.) arclicri, n.sp.). 

 The genus Odostoniia contains 40 sub-genera, the following 10 being new : ]'illia 

 (Type 0. (!'.) pilsbryi, n.sp.), Folimila (Type Attionra angnlifcrciis, De P'ol.), Bcsla 

 (Type Chrysallido coiivcxa, Cpr.), Egila (Type C. lacnnata, Cpr.), Haldra (Type C. 



photis, Cpr.), Ividia (Type Parthenia arinata, Cpr.), Evalina (Type O. (£.) aincricana, 

 n.sp.), Stoiiiega (Type 0. cinspicna. Aid.) Hcida (Tj'pe Syniola caloosacnsis, Dall), and 

 Lysacnic (Type Clirysallida claiisiliforniis, Cpr ). 



Kennard, A. S. and Woodward, B. B.— Holocene Deposits at Clifton Hampden, 



near Oxford. Proc. Cotteswold Nat. Field Club, 1903, vol. xiv, pp. 19 [ — 203. 

 The authors record 54 species of land and freshwater shells from thre^" beds on the 

 banks of the Thames at Clifton Hampden, of which 15 are land and 39 freshwater 

 forms. As the authors remark it is not often that in these recent deposits any marked 

 super-position of beds occurs, hence the importance of the present section, in which 

 Bed A. yielded 30, Bed B. 49, and Bed C. 26 species.
