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



by J. W. Taylor, part 8, p. 1-52, pi. 1-5, Nov. 7, 1902. 



The first number of vol. 2 of this important work commences to deal with 

 species. It contains the TestaceHce, the three British (Oligocene) species of 

 Glandina and Liinax niaxiinns. The system of treatment is very complete, con- 

 sisting of the synonymy, history, characteristic features, description, reproduction, 

 and development, food and habits, geological history, variation, and geographical 

 distribution. Illustrations of peculiar or characteristic organs and variations of the 

 shell are given throughout. With each species there are two maps, one shewing 

 the recorded and the probable geographical range ; the other, by three shades of 

 colour, shewing the probable range, the recorded distribution, and the distribution 

 verified by the authors within the British Isles ; the comital areas are those pro- 

 pounded by the late Mr. H. C Watson, and adopted by the Conchological Society 

 for the compilation of its census. The value and interest of these maps cannot be 

 overestimated. The Glandince are very successfully illustrated by photography. 

 The three Testacelhs and their varieties are illustrated by an excellent coloured 

 plate.
