Miscellaneous. 49] 
best thanks of the scientific world are due to Messrs. F. D. Godman 
and the late O. Salvin, the able editors of this work, through whose 
enterprise alone the publication of such a series of monographs has 
been possible. 
In conclusion, it is a great satisfaction to record the donation to 
the National Collection of the specimens of land and freshwater 
shells (between four and five thousand specimens) which form the 
basis of the work before us. This is only one of the many generous 
gifts to the Museum for which both the scientific world and the 
public at large are indebted to Mr. Godman, E. A. Sura.
