CURRENT LITERATURE. 21 



Signer Nobre continues his valuable account of the nervous system of 

 terrestrial pulmonata. In this part the description of Helix aspersa is con- 

 cluded and figures given. In Plittonia at lantica, Mor. and Drouet, the cerebral, 

 stomatogastric and \'iscero-pedal nervous system is carefully described and 

 figured. A very useful figure is also gi\en of the alimentary and generati\e 

 s\stem.
