Papers. — "Two new species of Cretaceous Mollusca." " New 

 species of Eulimidae and Pyramidellidse ; " Revision of the Austra- 

 lian Cyclostremidtie and Liotiid?e [Publication unavoidably post- 

 poned]. The author points out that great diversity of opinion has 

 prevailed as to the correct systematic position of the component 

 species ; some under different generic names have been placed 

 in both families. The limits of the genera of Cyclostremidaj are 

 better defined, and the following two new genera are proposed : — 

 (1.) Cyclostremella, type Liotia Ladder cb, Petterd, is separated 

 by its varicosely margined aperture ; (2) Pseudoliotia, type 

 Cyclostrema micans, A. Adams ( = Liotia Angasi, Crosse), is 

 defined as somewhat like Liotia, with a thick porcellanous (non- 

 perlaceous inside) test, aperture oblique, its margin thickened, 

 operculum horny and multispiral, without a granulose exterior. 

 Cirsonella, Angas, falls as a synonym under Tuhiola, A. Adams, 

 in the family Cyclostremidae ; " On some Recent and Fossil 

 Species of Philobry^," by Prof. Tate, F.G.S.
