Quarterly Journal of Conchology. 263 



Under Correspondence and News we find (i) a short note, 

 by Dr. Jeffreys, showing that he had ah'cady corrected the mistake 

 about Ancylus Gusso/ri; (2) that Mr. G. Nevill will shortly publish 

 a work on the MoUusca collected by the late Dr. Stoliczka in 

 Central Asia, and (3) that M. Crosse has been named Officer of 

 Public Instruction, a well-deserved honour, of which all our readers 

 will be glad to hear. C. P. G. 



Rossmassler's Iconographie, 



Fortgesetz von Dr. W. Kobelt. 

 Vol. Y. (Vol. II. of continuation) Parts i to 3. 



These new parts contain much of great interest. We have : 



I. — The subgenus Levaiitina — a fine group of Plelices from 

 Syria, Mesopotamia, etc. Two plates of these are given. 



2. — The Italian species of Iberus — Helix iiiuralis, serpentina 

 etc. Dr. Kobelt judiciously reduces the number of species in 

 this puzzling group (2 plates). 



3. — Various species of Fruticicoia. The right hand fig. (i 194) 

 represents a very beautiful banded H. fruticuni, and fig. 1197 the 

 magnificent JI. incJioata; (fig. 1201) is the true // cantiana, though 

 a very small specimen, but we have our doubts as to the Belgian 

 example (fig. 1202.) None of the Kentish specimens have a 

 banded periphery. (4 plates). 



4. — Several species of Limncea (3 plates). 

 5. — Leucociiroa (i plate). From Mr. Binney's researches we 

 regard LeucocJiroa as a subgenus of Helix near Ereniopliila. 



6. — Xerop^iila (2 plates) including some large forms of H. 

 variabilis (figs. 1295 — 1300).
