 lanim, (diagnoses of MoUusca inhabiting New Caledonia.) — No. 1, pp. 

 104—112. 



1 2. Crossk, H. — Diagnoses MoUusconim in fluminibus provincise 

 Nankingensis collectonim, (diagnoses of mollusca collected in the 

 rivers of the province of Nankin, by the Rev. Father Heude.) — No, 

 1, pp. 112—118. Chiefly Unionidse. 



13. Ckosse, H. — Diagnoses Molluscorum Martinicensium novo- 

 rum, (diagnoses of new mollusca from Martmiqiie.) — No. 1, pp. 

 118—119. 



These last three articles contain the Latin diagnoses of many 

 species, published in advance of the French descriptions, in order to 

 secure priority. As the full descriptions iii French, with observations 

 and colored figures, almost invariably follow in succeeding numbers 

 of the Journal, we do not now enumerate the species, in order to 

 avoid repetition, 



14. Fischer, P. — Observations anatomiques sm- divers Mol- 

 lusques des Antilles attribues au genre Succinea, (anatomical obser- 

 vations on various West Indian Mollusca attributed to the genus 

 Succinea.) — No. 2, pp. 139 — 156, and plates v. and vi. 



A highly important article, in which the author proves by the 

 examination of the lingual ribbons and jaws that Succinea patitla, 

 Brugui^re, S. rubescens, Deshayes, and S. dejjressa. Rang, belong 

 really to the Bulimulidse, a ftimily also comprising Gceotes, Peltella, 

 and Simpnlopsis, and distmguished by a thin jaw with oblique folds 

 so arranged that the two median ones form an angle in the centre of the 

 jaw. He proposes to include these three species in the genus Amphi- 

 bulima (hitherto only containing the species pattda, and wa-ongly 

 considered as a sub-genus of Succinea). The fourth species examined 

 by Dr. Fischer, Succinea U7iguis, F6russac, proves itself to be a tnie 

 Succinea, its jaw having the quadrangular projection characteristic of 

 the genus. 



15. Fischer, P. — "Note sur le Turbo phasianellus, Deshayes," 

 (note on Turbo phasianellus.) — No. 2, pp. 156, 157. 



The operculum of this species, which has been lately discovered, 

 proves it to belong to Trochus instead of Turbo. Besides its origi- 

 nal locality. Reunion, it has also been found near New Caledonia.

 recueillies a la Martinique en 1873," (catalogue of land and fresh 

 water shells, collected at Martinique in 1873.) — No. 2, pp. 158 — 173. 



A very complete list of the species inliabiting the island of Mar- 

 tinique, with much information respecting their habitats, the altitude 

 at which they are found, and the colors of the animals.
