MS., Moiiolarla cuneata, Jeffr., MS., Axinus tortuosus^ Jeffreys, 

 MS., Mytilimenal Fischeri, Jeffr., MS., Lyonsiaformosa, Jeffreys, 

 MS., Verticordia insculpta, Jeffr., MS., Ne(zra bicarmata, Jeffr., 

 MS., N. sulcifera, Jeffr., MS., N. truncata, Jeffr., MS., and N. 

 imbricata, Jeffr., MS., were new to science or have not previously 

 been described. 



Eight species oi Solenoco7ichia were found one of which Cadulus 

 seinistriatus, Jeffr., MS., is new to science and C. artatus, Jeffr., 

 MS., which though previously known has not yet been published. 

 Of the sixty-five species of Gastropods, Riinida astutiafia, Jeff, 

 MS., Odostoviia lineaia, Jeffr., MS., and Bullina elongata, Jeffr., 

 MS., are new. 



Six species of Pteropods were found, none of which were new. 

 Three species Chiton alveolus Sars, Fusus turgiduhcs Jeff., 

 M.S., and Pleurotoma nivalis Lov., are distinguished by Dr. 

 Jeffreys as peculiarly Northern species, while he indicates Odos- 

 tomia fasciata Forbes, as peculiarly Southern or Mediterranean. 

 In summing up the results, the author shows that of the 

 species found ii are new, 3 Northern, i Southern, and 137 had 

 previously been found in the cruise of the "Porcupine." M. de 

 Folin is engaged in examining the sifted material, and when his 

 labors are completed it is probable other species will require to 

 be added to the list.

Brown's experience tends to show are extremely erroneus. Mr. 



Guppy, says, "on the lower slopes near the sea, I found a few
