divided into four; Medo7-a%Q\\%u stricto fordie blue Dalmatian species^ 

 Siciliaria for the Sicilian, Albinaria for the white Greek shells, and 

 Cristataria for the Syrian. Most of the Syrian species under Idyla 

 should also be transferre d to Cristataria. The species under Alar- 

 pessa from succineata Zgl., to capillacea Rossm., form the subgenus 

 Dilataria Vest, elata,guio,procera, and turgida constitute the group 

 Unciuaria Vest. The subgenus Serrulina Mousson, is admitted 

 for certain Transcaucasian species — serrulata Mous., SieversiVix., 

 etc. "Westerlund's list of the European species oi Planoi-his is given. 



187 names are added to the list of synonynis, Bourguignat alone 

 being accountable for 53 of these, next to him Benoit and Parreyss 

 names are the most frequent. 



This supplement is indispensable to all engaged in the study of 

 European shells, and is prepared with the care that always distin- 

 guishes Dr. Kobelt's publications. We would advise all readers of 

 the "Quarterly Journal of Conchology" to purchase copies of the 

 Catalogue and Supplement, and thereby hasten that very desirable 

 event, the publication of a second edition of the Catalogue embody- 

 ing all corrections and additions to date. C. P. G.
