THE NAUTILUS. 107 
lished in the current number of the Journal de Conchyliologie. 
The external features as well asthe dentition differ very widely 
from Pleurotomaria, the teeth being as in Trochide. 
In Abstr. Proce. Linn, Soc. N. 8. Wales, meeting of Sept. 26, 
1894, Mr. John Brazier retracts his former opinion that Patella 
kermadecensis is not from the Kermadee group, and quotes from a 
pamphlet published in 1887, stating that on Macauley Island there 
occur “ large limpets (as big as small saucers and good eating).” 
The last number of the Journal de Conchyliologie contains a 
portrait and biographical sketch of Dr. Paul Fischer.
