This vast proportion of new forms would have baen even greater had it 

 not been for the previous pubhcation by Mens. Dautzenberg on the fauna of 

 the Azores. It should be noted that Kryptos clegans is proposed as a new 

 genus and species from Jeffreys' MSS. : it is placed between Siplio and Fusus.

 New species oi Ennea (2), Suhulina (3), Pupa (i), and Cyclostoma (i). The 

 new S. lacocochlis is a remarkable large sinistral form, and the authors suggest 

 that, should a new genus bs required, the name Euonyma should be used.

 In the Marine series we commence with the family Oxynoeidae, in which 

 Dipterophysis is a new sub-genus of Lobiger, from which it may be distinguished 

 by having only a single pleuropodial lobe on each side ; the type and only 

 species is L. souverbii, Fischer, from Guadeloupe. Lobiger viridis, Nevill non 

 Pease, is re-named L. ncvilli. We then pass through the Runcinidae and 

 Umbraculidae (Umbrellidae of some authors) to the Pleurobrauchidae ; these 

 divide into Pleurobranchinae and Pleurobranchaeinae, which may be charac- 

 terized by the presence or absence of a shell. Gymnctoplax is a new genus 

 which may be separated from Plcurobranchus and Oscuh'us by the shell being
