outh Syracuse, 40 f.; the Adventure Bank, between Sicily 
and Tunis, 60 f.; T unis s Bay, 30 f. ; and off that coast, 50 to 
100 f. These na be distinguished by the following abbre-

for the other places. 
I will again refer to the Porcupine Expedition (see the last 
Number of ves Annals,’ p. 439) whenever any of the species

Not the "e i so from all these Mediterranean 
dredgings consists in t very in a living or recent state 
of several species which Md "fdesipislty been known as fossil 
-only, and were considered extinct. More d investiga- 
tions and gradual experience con my opinion, published 
eight years ago*, that probably all the Mothasta which lived 
during the periods represented by our newer cise strata 
still survive in some part or other of the European sea 
With regard to not only the subject of this cortan 
but also to the Norwegian Mollusca mentioned in the last 
Number, Mr. J. T. Marshall has most obligingly and skilfully 
assisted me by examining the produce of the various dredgings. 
quick eye and great patience are indispensable for such 
work. My best thanks are likewise due to Herr Weinka 
and Professor Allman for sending me typical specimens of 
some of Forbes's /Egean species. " Unfortunately his descrip- 
tions, or rather diagnoses, are insufficient to identify many 0 
these species ; and his types were dispersed among public "cu 
rivate collections. Another inspection of my friend 
l'Andrew's Mediterranean shells has also been of ias 
able use to me. 
Dr. Carpenter will do full justice to the Foraminifera, and 
Mr. Robertson to the Ostracode Crustacea which were proc 
in the dredgings of Capt. Spratt and Capt. Nares.
