BIBLIOGRAPHY. 



(limited to works received by the society's librarian). 



" Monograph of the Land and Freshwater MoUusca of the British Isles," 



by John W. Taylor (part 16, pp. 145-224 [not 244 as on cover] and 5 plates). 



Part 16 gives us the conclusion of Zonitidcc, the Eitdcdoniidie, and the beginning 

 oi HelicidcE. Mr. Taylor does not transfer Sphyradhiiii to the Endodontidce, as 

 some authors now do, and presumably retains it in the Pupidce. Dr. Pilsbry's 

 arrangement is followed throughout, and it is a matter for great satisfaction that 

 we have at length a universally accepted system of classification for the Helicida 

 and allied families. Considerable space in this part is devoted to brief notices of 

 our fossil species, and a rather fuller account is given of Pyramidnla ruderata 

 Studer on the chance of its still surviving in some of the unexplored parts of Scot- 

 land. How problematical is the position of many of these fossil snail shells may 

 be judged from the fine Oligocene s\)QC\e.s pseiidogiobosa d'Orb. , which has been 

 variously referred to the genera Heiicostyla or Tka sites, while Pilsbry suggests a 

 relationship to Helix po7natia. Judging by Mr. Taylor's figures, the shape of 

 immature examples seems to negative the last suggestion ; adults certainly remind 

 one of Australian shells of the fraseri and incei type. 



The illustrations are as admirable as ever, and we should like to call special 

 attention to the coloured plate of Vitrina and Hyalinia. We have never seen 

 individuals of the latter genus so successfully depicted. Among the Vitrina three 

 figures are given of V. hibei-nica Taylor.
