Fischer, P. — Note sur le Trochus moniliferus, Lamarck (Note 

 on T. vioniliferus. Lam.) pp. 131 — 133- 



Lamarck described a fine shell in his private^ collection as 

 T. moniliferus, and a good figure was given in Kiener; Phillippi 

 by a singular mistake applied the name to a large specimen of 

 T. annulatus, Martyn. The habitat remained unknown for a 

 long time, and Lischke having discovered the shell in Japan con- 

 sidered it new and described it as T. Alvince. The author es- 

 tablishes the synonomy, and as there is also a fossil shell of 

 the Paris basin of nearly the same name — T. monilifer. Lam 

 proposes for the latter the name of T. dyscheres. 



Crosse, H.— Note sur \ Helix Leytensis, Pfeiffer, des Philppines 

 (Note on H. Leytensis, Pfr. from the PhiUppines), pp. 133—136- 



The receipt by Dr. Hidalgo of two perfect specimens of this 

 very rare shell, enables a good figure (Pl.vi. f.3) and description to 

 be given. Both Reeve's and Pfeiff'er's figures represent imma- 

 ture shells.

Under the head of "News" M. Crosse mentions the following 

 items, pp. 194 — 196. 



The Rabbi Mardoch^e has recently brought from Morocco 

 a number of land-shells which prove that the Mediterranean fauna 

 (Lusitanian of Woodward) extends to Cape Nun, at what particu- 

 lar point the West African fauna begins is as yet unknown. 



Several instances of the vitality of Unionidae, when removed 

 from their native element, are mentioned.
