BIBLIOGRAPHY, 



Museum Normanianum, or a Catalogue of the Inverte- 

 brata of Europe, and the Arctic and N. Atlantic Oceans, which 

 are contained in the collection of the Rev. Canon A. M. Norman, 

 M.A., D.C.L., F.L.S., iv., Mollusca Marina; v., Brachiopoda. 



These lists are prepared by their learned author (for private 

 distribution) to show the species contained in his vast collection 

 and to indicate clearly the deficiencies which exist and which he 

 will be glad to have supplied by any person, and for which he 

 offers either Mollusca -or other classes of Marine Invertebrates 

 in exchange, or cash if preferred. The chief deficiencies in the 

 Marine Mollusca are those of coasts of Eastern N. America, 

 Asiatic, Arctic and Alaskan, Abyssal Atlantic and Mediterranean 

 forms, Cephalopoda and Nudibranchiata, The Land species 

 specially desired are those of Cape Verd, Azores, Canary 

 Islands, those parts of Africa and Arabia N. of the tropics, Asia 

 Minor, Persia, Afghanistan, and the Russian Empire. In all 

 19 10 forms of Marine Mollusca and Brachiopoda are enumerated 

 as in this collection which sufficiently attests its great importance 

 and value. — J. W. T. 



Helix virgata var. radiata Hidalgo in the Isle of 

 Wight.— Last year, Mr. J. W. Wood, while staying at Fresh- 

 water, found several specimens of H. virgata which seem to 

 accord fairly well with Hidalgo's variety radiata^ originally 

 recorded from the Balearic Isles, The upper surface, instead of 

 the usual spiral banding, is radiately and regularly striped with 

 black and white, in a similar way to B. a cut us var. articulata. 

 The under surface has the usual spiral banding. — J, W, Taylor.
