CURRENT LITERATURE.* 



It is hoped that all Malacologists will aid in making this Biblio- 

 graphy as complete and useful as possible. Writers, both at home and 

 abroad, are especially asked to send in copies of their respective papers 

 for review to ^A/ilfred Mark Webb, Holmesdale, Brentwood, to whom 

 all communications should be addressed.

Dr Simroth makes steady progress with this invaluable work of refer- 

 ence. The present part commences with an appendix to the PolyplacopJiora , 

 bringing the account of this group abreast of current literature up to July, 

 1894. To this subject the plates also refer. He then proceeds with the 

 Scapliopodd, the morphology of which occupies the rest of the part. Several 

 interesting figures of the different forms of the shell are given and, to demon- 

 strate that Dr. Simroth is -'up to date," we may mention that the figure of 

 Schi.zod;ntalium, only published last October, is reproduced.
