BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTICE. 



An Index to the Museum Boltenianum. 



Whex, in 1906, C. Davies Sherborn and E. E. Sykes brought out 

 the photographic facsimile of the scarce 1798, or first, edition of the 

 ' Museum Boltenianum,' pt. ii., they were only able to add as an 

 afterthought an ' Index to the Genera.' 



The supreme importance of the work to the systematic concho- 

 logist had, of course, already been known ; but Dr. W. H, Dall, 

 who went thoroughly into the question, showed a little later (Journ. 

 of Conch, xi. 1906, pp. 29-4-297) that some forty generic names 

 were certainly, and about thirty more probably, affected by it. 



The veteran American malacologist has now conferred a great 

 boon on his fellow-students by compiling a complete Index of all 

 the names, which has just been published by the Smithsonian 

 Institution (Publication 2360, 1915, pp. 64, Svo). 



To this is prefixed a translation of Lichtenstein's Latin preface, 

 in which, quaintly enough, the translator has retained the Latin 

 form " Boltenius " for the name of the owner of the collection cata- 

 logued. Translations are also given of the German Introduction to 

 the first edition by lloding and of that to the second edition (1819) 

 by Xoodt. B. B. W.
