264 The American Naturalist. [March, 



Zoological News. — A list of a single day's dredging at Port 

 Jackson, N. S. Wales, shows 106 mollusca and sixty-one gen 

 brata exclusive of mollusca. Among the Crustacea was that rare and 

 interesting species, Dromia sculpta Haswell. The specimens obtained 

 enabled Mr. Thomas Whitelegge to settle the question regarding the 

 identity of ( Vera Henderson, described in vol. 



xxvii. of the Challenger Report with Dromia sculpta Haswell. He 

 sees no valid reason why they should be regarded as distinct 

 (Records Aust. Mus, vol. i., No. 4.) — The Entomostracans recently 

 collected in Russia and Siberia by M. Charles Rabot include nineteen 

 species of Copepods and twenty-seven Cladocera. Although none of 

 them are new to science they are of interest since they are the first 

 reported from that region ; and also they afford another proof of the 

 wide geographical distribution of European species. (Bull. Soc. Zool. 

 1891.) — A new species of Tortricidse, Palceobia longistriata, from 

 N. S. Wales has been described by J. H. Durrant. This species agrees 

 in nervation and structure with the typical forms, but can hardly be 

 said to have the apex of the forewings produced. (Proceeds. LinD.
