ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
water shells we find the genera Moitessieria (Bourg.) with 3, 
Paladilhia (Bourg.) with 6^ and Bugesia (Paladilhe) with 1 
species. Several new species are described and figured, which 
we mentioned in the preceding year. M. Bourguignat, who 
has acted as editor of the work since the death of the author, 
has added a malacological stratography of the department, 
classing the species in several divisions according to the centres 
of distribution from which they are considered to have taken their 
origin. Thus 110 species are referred to the Alpine centre, 
12 to the Old Gallic {Moitessieria j Bugesia, Paladilhia, 2 
species of Hydrobia), whereas the remainder are either referred 
to more remote centres, as the Tauric or Asiatic,^^ or are 
so widely spread over the earth^s surface that their origin cannot 
be traced. 
Some new species of Helix from Southern France and Spain, 
by Kambur, in Journ. Conch, xvi. pp. 265-268. 
Urol. The conchological fauna of Val di Non, in Southern Tirol, has been 
examined by E. de Betta (/. c.) j he enumerates 87 species, the great majo- 
rity of which (79) are terrestrial. Of freshwater species there are only men- 
tioned 3 species of Limncea, 2 of Bytldnia [rather one true Bithynia, viz. 
tentacidata (L.), and an Hydrobia, schmidiii, Charp.], 1 Valvata, 1 Anodonta, 
and 1 Pisidium. Although we think that this number may be increased in 
future, for example, by some Planorhis, yet the relatively small number of 
freshwater shells is highly characteristic of mountainous countries. Among 
the terrestrial, the following deserve to be mentioned here : — Vitrina brevis 
(Fer.), Helix aculeata (Miill.), anyigyra (Ziegl.), lurida (Ziegl.), ciliata 
(Venetz), unifasciata {Voir A) = candidida (Stud.), cemula (Rossm.), Bulimns 
detritus (Miill.), quadridens (Midi.), Cionella jani (Betta), Clausilia comensis 
(Shuttl.), stentzii (Rossm.), albo-gxdtidata (Wagn.), Pupa biplicata (Mich.), 
pagodida (Besmont), dilucida (Ziegl.), triplicata (Stud.). 
Tuscany. The land- and freshwater mollusks of tliis country are enume- 
rated by l)r. 0. Gentiluomo j 168 species, viz. 109 land, 47 freshwater, and 
2 submarine species (Bullett. Malacol. Ital. i. pp. 67-98). Among them are 
three species of Testacella, one being new, 16 species of Zonites (all except 
one belonging to Ilyalina'), 39 species of Helix, 10 of Clausilia, among which 
Cl. plicatida (Drap.), rare in Italy, 10 of Pupa, 5 of Vertigo, 7 of Bythinia . — 
The report on A. Issel’s malacology of the Province of Pisa, given by tlio 
Recorder in Mai. Bliitt. 1867, is published in the Italian language, with the 
addition of several original observations by Gentiluomo. Bull. Malacol.

Abruzzi. Thirty-two terrestrial and 6 freshwater species, found by several 
naturalists, especially Orsini and Iluet, in or near the mountains of the 
Abruzzi, in Central Italy, and in the neighbourhood of Ascoli, are enume- 
rated by Ed. v. Martens, Mai. Bliitt. xv. pp. 72-82.
