MoNTEROSATO. — Note sur quelques coquilles provenant des 

 cotes d' Alge'rie (Note en some shells from the Algerian Coast), 

 pp. 24-49. 



The receipt of a collection of shells made by INI. Joly in Algiers 

 Roads has enabled the Marchese di IMonterosato to add a con- 

 siderable number of species to those enumerated by Weinkauff in 

 his Catalogues of Algerian Shells (Journ. de Conch., 1862 and 

 1 866), and in the present article, without giving a complete list, he 

 mentions 148 species which are new to the locality or respecting 

 which he has some remarks to make. Tapes pull.istni (vera) 

 occurs. Chiton Polii, is abundant in the Mediterranean, but 

 Algiers is one of the few localities where uneroded and unen- 

 crusted specimens occur. The operculum ol Fossartis is described, 

 and only two true Mediterranean species are admitted. Alitra 

 fusca, Swainson, a fine species, 40-45 mill, long is mentioned. 

 The following species are figured, of the new ones general indica- 

 tions of the characters are given. Dcfraucia concinna, Scacchi, 

 (PL ii, fig. I.) F. linearis, Montagu, (fig. 2.) MargineVa cxlata,
