LITERATURE. 



Several papers have been written on the conchological fauna of the beach deposits 

 of the Red Sea and other parts of Eg-ypt, but as the subject is so interwoven with 

 the history of the actual living forms of the Red Sea, the following hst of titles is 

 compiled so as to include the more important contributions dealing with both aspects 

 of the subject.
