 Volume, 1893, pp. 35-92, pis. vi.-ix. 

 . This monograph enumerates 251 species of marine fossils, none of which are 

 new. Some are briefly redescribed. In four quarto plates 95 species are repre- 

 sented by zinc engravings. The Pliocene beds are restricted in New Zealand to 

 the south of the North Island. From 23 to 37 per cent, of their contained 

 mollusca are extinct, and 12 of their genera are absent from the present fauna, 

 though still in existence abroad. Since the recent species are, as fossils, the most 

 abundant, and the extinct the rarest, it would appear that in Pliocene seas the 

 present molluscan fauna was establishing itself at the expense of an earlier fauna.

 Both groups, according to the author, retain their respective former places in 



the series near each other. The arrangement is made entirely to turn on the 



hinge structure. No anatomy quoted !
