des Sc. JSTat. xviii. p. 323; vide Archiv. 1841, ii. p. 265.) 
Lovell Reeve has given a plate and description of a new 
species of Carinaria, viz. : — 
C. gracilis ; shell transparent, compressed at the sides ; keel with a 
simple straight edge ; vertex small; length 3 ; breadth 1^'' ; height 
2" : habitat unknown. (Annals, ix. p, 140.)

Description des Limacides de rAmerique, par Amos Biniiey. 
Boston, 1842. 
This work, unfortunately, has not yet come to hand. The author 
describes all the species of LimacidcB which are found in North Ame- 
rica, with Latin diagnoses and English descriptions, accompanied with 
remarks on their geographical distribution and habits. The species 
^;re.^Limax jlaviis, agrestis, campestris, new species ; Avion horten sis ; 
Tehenophorus (new genus) carolinensis (Limax cavolinensis, Auct.) ; 
Philomycus (Rafin.) dorsalis, Binn. (S. Rev. Zool. 1842, p. 221.) 
W. H. Benson has arranged a new genus, Incilaria, in the family of 
the Limacidce, which only differs from Limax in this, that the body is 
bordered by a velum. The species, I. hilineata, is livid, with two 
lateral and one mesial stripe, and the velum is sprinkled with brown 
points and spots. (Ann. ix. p. 486.) 
The Vitrina sigaretina, Recluz, from the banks of the Cazamanca, 
in Africa, described in the Rev. Zool. 1841, is to be found figured in 
the Magas, de Zool. 1842, pi. 59. 
Vitrina zebra, Le Guillou ; t. rotundata, umbilicata, supra depresso- 
convexa, subtus convexiore, hyalina, flammulis albis et spadiceis oblique 
undulatis ornata ; anfractibus 4 supra tenuiter striatis ; apertura sub- 
dilatata, umbilico minimo ; 7 mill. : Auckland Island. (Rev. Zool. 1842, 
p. 136.) 
Pfeitfer describes (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1842, p. 187) three new species of 
Succinea, S. elegans, rejiexa, and variegata, from Chili ; and remarks, 
that they belong to the same group with Helix gallina-sultana, Chemn., 
in which, according to Pfeiffer, are also to be reckoned Btdimus 
Broderipii and coquimbensis, for, on account of the w'ant of a columella, 
these are probably true Succinew. D’Orbigny’s observations prove that 
the animal of the >8, gallinci-siiltana is very similar to Succinea in its 
form and habits.
