In the most recent and among the most valuable of the contributions to 

 onr knowledge of local faunas, ' ilollusques de Tile de la Reunion, par M. 

 G. P. Deshayes,' Paris, 1803, occur very unexpectedly the following species 

 cmnccted with the West Coast, either by name or by identity. The list of 

 o'iO species from this little island, which the researches of M. ^tiiillard has 

 brouilht to light, contains several West Indian forms and a large number
