Mr. Nevill, in drawing up this Hand List, followed the 

 system adopted by Cams and Gerstaecker in their " Hand- 

 buch der Zoologie," and accepted the various terms used by 

 these authors. 



This, the First Part of the Hand List of Mollusca, includes 

 only the Pulmonate ^ Gastropods and the Neurobranchiate 

 division of the Prosobranchiata, but it is hoped that Mr. 

 Nevill will soon be able to complete the remaining portion 

 of the second order of the Gastropods.
