elongated well-developed dorsal spot of a pure white. It differs 

 from all the other species of the restricted genus in the length 

 and narrowness of the nose of the skull. I have called the species 

 Hyrax Bocagei. 



On the mode of Development of Bothriocephalus latus. 

 By M. Knoch. 



According to a report by M. C. Robin, presented to the Academy 

 of Sciences in Paris, M. Knoch has perfectly demonstrated that the 

 embryo of Bothriocephalus latus passes through no cysticercal stage in 

 the course of its development. — Comptes Rendus, January 11, 1869,

Teeth of Streptaxis, Chilina, &c. 



Dr. F. D. Heynemann, in the ' Malak. Blatter' for 1868, has 

 described and figured the teeth of different terrestrial Mollusca, as, 

 for example, the genera Streptaaris, Pellicula, Simulopsis, and Chi- 

 lina. The teeth of Streptaxis are fusiform, with a more or less 

 distinct rounded lobe on the front of each side near the base, some- 

 what like the teeth of Testacella and other worm-eating slugs ; I 

 had some time ago predicted that the teeth would be of that form, 

 from the carnivorous habits of the genus. The Brazilian collectors 

 of shells know that these snails will eat the animals out of the shells 

 of the Helices that are shut up in a box with them. The ani- 

 mal of Chilina has a strong lunate jaw with a grooved front surface 

 and a creuatcd lower edge; and the outer lateral teeth are large and 

 pectinated on their upper edge. The teeth of the other genera are 

 like those of the other herbivorous Helicida?. — J. E. Gray. 



Naultinus lineatus, a Neiu Lizard from New Zealand. 

 By Dr. J. E. Gray, E.E.S. 



Mr. W. Adams has just returned from New Zealand and brought 

 with him a new species of Naultinus, which I propose to call N. li- 

 neatus, as it differs from the other species in having three yellow 

 dorsal streaks — one central, and the others on the outer part of the 

 sides of the back. The lateral streaks are well marked in all the 

 three specimens, which are of different ages ; the central dorsal 

 streak is indistinct in the two young, but more distinct and well 

 marked in the adult, which is said to be a female and mother of the 

 other two. They were procured at Otraroa, the French settlement 

 in Canterbury, New Zealand. 



Marine Animals of Southern Labrador. 



Dr. 0. S. Packman, jun., has published a list of marine animals 

 dredged, during a fifty days' visit, near Caribou Island, Southern 

 Labrador, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, in which several new species 

 are described, with most interesting observations on the distribution 

 of the more common species, — interesting as they seem to afford 

 very satisfactory evidence that there are three distinct assemblages 

 of marine invertebrates intermingled on the coast of Northern 

 Labrador.
