 E. verriUi, Ancey = E. remoiidi, which latter is distinct from E. cavpentcri. 

 Pilsbry, H. A. — " On Djlabella californica, Stearns." Nautilus, vol. ix., pp. 73-74. 

 The first published description of the animal of this species. Mr. Pilsbry 

 proposes a new sub-family, Djlab:!lin.ic, to contain ths genus. 



Schwarz, Ernest H. L. — " Spinila pcyonii, Lam." Journ. Mar. Zool., vol.ii., 

 Oct. 1895, pp. 25-30. 

 The author deals with the embryonic and general shell-structure. He 

 concludes that Spinila has been derived from the Belemnites through 

 SpiruHrostni. Surely the memoir by Huxley and Pelseneer, published last 

 spring in the " Challenger " Reports, might have reached him.

In Australia, Dr. Verco has for several years been known as an ardent and 



successful collector, and in these papers we welcome as a recruit to the ranks 



of conchological writers one who joins much practical experience of the 



dredge to clear and careful literary work. The first article describes as new 



Miircx tatci, M. robustus, Troplion angitstus, T. levis, Ltitlnis niirantiacus, L. 



pulleinei, Crassatdla producta and C. micni ; re-described is Triton mimeticus, 



Tate. All these were dredged off the coast of South Australia, and all, we 



observe with satisfaction, are well illustrated. The second article couimences 



a review, with especial attention to synonymy and distribution, of the marine 



gasteropoda of the colony, the Muricidae and Tritonidae being here discussed. 



Drawings of the radula of nine species are appended.
