I 8 THE CONCIIOLOGICAL MAGAZINE 



we think it will be useful to study those unknown shells during the 

 period of leisure from publication. 



The books we are intending to purchase are Reeve and Sower- 

 by " Conchologia Iconica " or Martini und Chemnitz " Systema- 

 tisches Conchylien-Cabinct " and some volumes relating to China, 

 Korea and Formosa. 



With the next issue, the April number, we shall postpone publi- 

 cation till about May, rgio when our paper no. 5, vol. iii will be 

 sent to you in a finer and larger form.
