Miscellaneous. 405 
raneously, contains a revision of some of the recent genera, founded 
on the dissection of the soft parts of the animals. Hence the new 
genus Scottia, Brady, takes Cypris Browniana, Jones; Erpetocypris, 
B. & N., takes Candona (Cypris) reptans, Baird; and Ilyocypris, 
B. & N., absorbs Ramdohr’s Cypris gibba. Cypris levis of the 
Suppl. Tert. Monogr. is referred to Cypria serena (Koch) and Can- 
dona compressa to C. pubescens (Koch). These corrections can be 
readily made and with advantage. 
Careful tables of the species in natural order, with their geolo- 
gical distribution, at pages 3-8 and 48-51, and the usual index of 
accepted and disused names, form part of this Suppl. Tert. Monogr. 
The three plates give very clear illustrations of 68 species and 
varieties which required figuring; and a uniform scale of amplifica- 
tion having been preserved throughout, the specimens have a more 
natural appearance than would otherwise have been the case. Five 
woodcuts also illustrate some species in the body of the work. We 
may note also that almost all the specimens described and figured 
are to be found in either the British Museum or the Museum of 
Practical Geology. Geologists will be glad of this work, and will 
thank the Palssontographical Society for publishing so useful a 
Monograph. 
A Classified List of Mr. S. William Silver's Collection of New- 
Zealand Birds (at the Manor-House, Letcomb Regis), with short 
Descriptive Notes by Sir Water L. Butorr, K.C.M.G., D.Sc., 
F.R.S. 8vo. E. A. Petherick and Co., London, 1888. 
Many of our readers may remember seeing eight handsome cases of 
birds in the New-Zealand Court of the Colonial and Indian Exhi- 
bition in 1886, and the contents of these, as well as four others, are 
now described. Short explanatory notes render this work far more 
than a mere catalogue, and its value is enhanced by the introduction 
of a number of woodcuts from the last edition of the ‘ Birds of New 
Zealand.’

Notes on some new and little-known British Jurassic Fishes *. 
By A. Samira Woopwarp, F.G.8., F.Z.S. 
Tue remains of many undescribed fossil fishes from British Jurassic 
formations are preserved in various collections, and the author 
remarks upon a few of the more prominent types. Some are of 
genera already recognized on the continent, but not hitherto dis- 
covered in England.
