EDITORS' NOTES. 



Messrs. Beddard and Haddon have written a paper, which will shortly 

 appear in the Zoological Society's " Transactions," containing descriptions of 

 a number of new species of Nudibranchiata from the Torres Straits. 



We welcome the first and second numbers of a bright little monthly 

 magazine entitled " Devonia," edited by E. W. W. Bowell and E. H. Bazeley, 

 of Huntsham, Bampton. North Devon. We must confess, however, that we 

 have more liking for the matter in it than the manner of its production. 



Students of marine life may be interested to hear that H.M.S. Penguin 

 recently ran out 4,900 fathoms of line and found no bottom in lat. 23° 40 S., 

 long. 175" 10 W. 



We are pleased to hear that Mr. Edgar A. Smith has been chosen as one 

 of the new Assistant Keepers of Zoology at the British Museum. 



The kindly notice of the Journal by the editor of the " Gardening 

 World " is much appreciated by us.
