SYSTEMATIC WORK. 



Dall, W. H. — " Note on the genus Joannisia." Nautilus, vol. ix., p. 78. 



In April, 1895, the author proposed this name for two bivalves from the 

 Philippine Islands ; it now having come to his knowledge that the name had 

 already been used, he proposes to replace it by JonnnisieUa. 



Godwin-Austen, Lt.-Col. H. H. — " Description of a supposed new species 

 of land-mollusk of the genus Parmay'ion from Pulo Laut, an island off 

 the south-east coast of Borneo." Ann. Mag. N. H., ser. 6, vol. xvi., 

 PP- 434-7. Pl- xix., Dec. 1895. 



Hector, J. — " On a new shell (Anomia walten')." Trans. N. Z. Inst., vol. 

 xxvii., 1S94, pp. 292-3. 

 As no figure is given or comparison with other members of the genus 



instituted, th3 only and insufficient claim of this species appears to be the 



habitat. 



Hedley, C. — " D^ndrotrochus, Pilsbry, assigned to TrocJiomoyplia." Rec. Austral. 

 Mus., vol. ii., no. 6, pp. 90-1, pi. xxi. 

 This recently-described group is removed by Mr. Hedley from Piipuina 

 and placed in Tyoclumorplui, upon anatomical grounds.

 Locard, Arnould. — " Etude sur la collection conchyliologique de Drap- 



arnaud." Paris, 1S95, S™ ' PP- ^QO- 

 What Mons. Locard has endeavoured in this work to do is best described 

 in his own words, namely, "Nous allons, a notre tour essayer de faire pour 

 Draparnaud, le createur de la Conchyliologie Fran9aise, ce que Hanley a si 

 bien fait pour 1' immortel Linni'." It is curious to note from the author's 

 pages how few of the great French collections still remain in their native 

 country. Draparnaud's is now at Vienna ; those of Lamarck and Delessert 

 at Geneva ; while those of Moquin-Tandon and Dupuy are scattered to the 

 winds. It will be fresh in the minds of our readers that Morelet's and the 

 pick of Gassies' are now in this country. E. R. S.
