BRITISH CONCHOLOGY.— ILLUSTRATED INDEX OF BRI- 

 TISH SHELLS. By O. B. Soweebt, F.L.S. Impl. 8vo, extra cloth gilt, 30*., 

 containing 700 coloured engravings of 600 species, being all known of Land, Fresh- 

 water, and Marine. The only other work, containing nearly all the species, is nearly 

 eight times its price, and gives fewer species by about forty. One work recently 

 published at 12^. contains the Land and Freshwater species only, with few illustra- 

 tions. Another is promised of the same division, to be illustrated by imcoloured 

 woodcuts. In reviewing the former of these two, the 'Athenaeum' speaks inciden- 

 tally of " Mr, Sowerby's Illustrated Index, which, on account of its beautiful illus- 

 trations, would form an excellent companion " to that work. Yet although little more 

 than an index, as its name implies, it contains in a condensed form all the essential 

 inforciation respecting names, synonyms, locahties, and important distinctions ; and 

 all of every genus is seen at a glance. London : Simpkin and Co. Paris : Roth- 

 schild and Co. Or, to be had with advantage, direct from the proprietor, Gr. B.
