This second instalment includes 36 species, of which 5 occur in 

 England. It deals chiefly with Cretaceous and Tertiary species. The 

 study of this genus leads the author to the suppression of many 

 synonyms. The plates illustrate 24 species in the present part ; the 

 following are new — P. Zitteli, from the U. Kimmeiidge, P. Elisahethcp, 

 from the Gosau beds, and P. Haydeni from Miocene, Switzerland. 

 A table shows the probable genetic relationship of the species noticed 

 in the entire monograph. E. B. T.
