Paleontographia Itaica. Memorie di paleontologia. Pubblicate per 
cura del PROFESSOR Mario CanavarI. Vol. I., 1895, Pisa, 1896. 
This is a new paleontological publication modeled on the Pa/egon- 
tographica of Germany, whose purpose is to unite in a central organ for 
leading memoirs on the fossils of Italy. The first number is an ample 
and interesting volume of 275 pages and eighteen lithograph plates. 
The first paper is by C. F. Parona on ‘‘Nuove osservazioni sopra 
la fauna e l’eta degli strati con Postdonomya alpina nei Lette Comuni,” 
pp. 1-42, Plates I. and II.; it isa continuation of Parona’s monograph 
“T fossili degli strati a Pos. alpina di Camporovere nei Lette Comuni”’ 
- Atti della Soc. di Lei. Nat. Milano, Vol. XXIII., 1880. In the pres- 
ent paper the author has described and listed a large fauna of the Mid- 
dle or Brown Jura, most of the species being new, only a few of the 
familiar names of Quenstedt’s, Oppel’s, and Sowerby’s species appear- 
ing among them. 
The paper by A. Tommasi, “La Fauna del Trias inferiore nel ver- 
sante meridionale delle Alpi,” pp. 43-76, Plates III. and IV., describes 
fifty-three species, of which eight are new. The entire fauna consists 
of one brachiopod, thirty-four pelecypods, eleven gasterpods, and 
seven cephalopods, all ammonites but one. 
The third paper of the volume is by Antonio Neviani, “ Briozoi 
fossili della Farnesina e Monte Mario presso Roma, pp. 77-140, 
Plates V. and VI. ‘The author describes one hundred and ten species 
and varieties of Tertiary Bryozoa, of which about three-fourths are still 
living in the Mediterranean and adjacent seas. Useful and interesting 
notes on distribution in space and depth are also given. 
The fourth paper is by C. Fornasini, on ‘“‘ Foraminiferi della marna 
del Vaticano,” p. 141-148, Plate VII. In this short space twenty- 
three species are described and listed, although none are new. 
The fifth paper is by V. Simonelli, “Gli antozoi pliocenici del Pon- 
ticello di Savena presso Bologna,” pp. 149-168, Plate VIII. ‘Twenty- 
three species of Pliocene corals are described, many of which are still 
living in the Mediterranean and Atlantic waters. 
The next paper is that of Francesco Bassani, “La Ittiofauna della 
Dolomia principale di Giffoni (Prov. Salerno),” pp. 169-210, Plates
