254 BIBLIOGRAPHY. 



Les Mollusques Marins du Roussillon, par E. 



Bucquoy, Ph. Dautzenberg and G. Dollfuss. Parts xi.— xiii. 



These parts, which complete the first volume of this exquisite 

 work, contain sixteen photographic plates executed with the 

 same skill that has characterised all the preceding. Part xi. 

 treats of the Turbinidse, Adeorbidse, Haliotidte, Janthinid^e, and 

 Fissurellidas. Part xii., of the Calyptridae, CapuHdse, Patellid^e, 

 Siphonariidse, and Gadiniidse. Part xiii., completing the volume, 

 deals with the Chitonidse, ActEeonidat, Bullidse, Aplysiidse, 

 Oxynoeid?e, Pleurobranchidas, and Dentalidse. In addition to 

 the figures of the shells as previously given, there are added 

 representations of some portions of the accessory parts of internal 

 organs as the calcareous plate found in the stomach of Scap- 

 hander. In Chiton there are given views of the anterior, median 

 and posterior valves, isolated from the rest, and showing both 

 exterior and interior. We are glad to give this work unqualified 

 commendation, not only for the carefulness, precision and 

 accuracy of the text but the beauty and scope of the photographic 

 illustrations.

R. Bourguignat. 



This work is mainly the outcome of the examination of the 

 MoUusca found by M. Achille Raffray, Vice-Consul at Massowah, 

 who had charge of a mission to King John of Abyssinia, in the 

 course of which he traversed many parts of Abyssinia practically 

 unknown to Europeans. 



M. Bourguignat enumerates all the species hitherto recorded 

 from Abyssinia, and points out all those which in his opinion 

 are synomymous. He also describes the following as new

 f. 17 — 20; Sitala Raffrayi, f. 15, 16; Vitrina Milne-Edward- 

 siana, f. 7—9; V. Raffrayi, f i — 3; V. Herbini, f 4 — 6; Succinea
