NOTES. 



Azeca elongata, Taylor. In "The Naturalist" for last March on 

 pages 75 and 76, Mr. J. W. Taylor describes under this name " a probably 

 new species of Azeca, in the British Isles." The description is based upon 

 two shells, the first from North Wales and the second from Ingleton, Yorkshire, 

 which differ from Azeca tvidins, Pulteney, in having two and half more whorls

(that is 9.} instead of 7) ; in the fact that these increase more slowly in size ; and 

 that the last of them is comparatively smaller. The mouth also of the shell 

 in Azeca clongata is different in shape, the denticle on the outer lip is stronger 

 and there is no trace of the "winding columellar lamella which is so con- 

 spicuous a feature in Azeca tyidens." 



Tlirough the courtesy of Mr. W. Denison Roebuck, the Editor of " The 

 Natui^alist " we are able to give the figures (Figure i, A and B) of the new 

 shell," a.nd.oi Azeca tridens which illustrate Mr. Taylor's paper.

The dates of Publication of the Journal de Conchyliogie. — Since 

 a list of the dates of issue of some parts of this publication up to vol. xli., 

 No. 2, was given in our pages * it has, we regret to say, gone on, in what we 

 can only describe as its evil way. Numerous enquiries having reached us as 

 to the real dates of issue of the various parts we think it may be of interest to 

 supplement the former list by placing on record the dates at which a sub- 

 scriber through an English publisher, received his copies. If our readers 

 allow 14 days for the transit, &c., they will be easily able to arrive at the true 

 dates of publication. Why the editors of a periodical of the high class nature 

 of the "Journal de Conchyliologie " should proceed in such an extraordinary 

 manner we fail to understand.
