Fischer. — Note sur le genre Morchia A. Adams, etc. (Note 

 on the g. Morchia), pp. 200 — 203. 



Dr. Fischer adds two new species, AT. Alorleti {V\ix\.Q 4 fig. i) 

 and biplicata to the one hitherto known, AI. obvolufa, A. Adams, 

 The new^ species are from China. He considers that the name 

 AlorcJiia should be preserved for the group in question, as Mayer's 

 Aforchia is 3 months posterior, and that the group is a distinct 

 genus and not a subgenus of Cyclostrema. 



FoLiN. — Note relative au genre Parastrophia (Note respect- 

 ing the g. Parastrophia), pp. 203 — 207. 



The Marquis de Folin considers that the genera Cczcum, 

 Meioccras, Strcbloceras, and ParastropJiia are clearly separated by 

 the form and position of the nucleus. That of Parastrophia is 

 much smaller than those of the other genera, and looking at the 

 shell in front appears bent backwards, whilst in Ccccinn and 

 Aleioccras it inclines to the front, and in Strcbloceras turns to the 

 side. 



MoRCH. — Description d'une nouvelle espece du genre Fastl- 

 gtetta, Reeve (A new Fastigietia), pp. 207 — 209. 



F. Poulsenii from Eleuthera, Bahamas. 



MoRCH. — Observations sur XAncyliis Giissoiii, Costa, et le 

 nouveau sous-genre Allerya {Ancyliis Gitssoiii and the new s. g. 

 Allerya), pp. 209 — 211, 



Dr. Jeffreys considers the A. Gussoni to be the same as 

 Tectiira virginea Miiller, but Dr. Morch thinks they belong to 

 different genera. In Costa's species the apex is posterior (not 

 anterior as in Tecfura). The muscular impression is very narrow, 

 horse-shoe shaped, and terminates in front on each side by a round 

 impression.
