ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
1. JV. granulata (Risso), including his N. mamillata and Pleurotuma 
chauveti (Requien). — 2. N. Uneolata, sp. n., Tiheri, 1. c. p. 76, pi. 6. fig. 6 j the 
young of this species is Murex massencB of Chiaje, not Risso. — 3. N. candidis- 
sima (Phil, as Bucc.), Tiheri, 1. c. pi. 6, fig. 4. All Mediterranean. 
Weinkauff unites both these genera under the name of LachcsiS) and dis- 
tinguishes only three Mediterranean species: — X. minima (Mont.), a variety 
of it with thickened lip is Nescca mamillata and granulata (Risso) ; L. candi- 
dissima (Phil.), including as a variety lineolata (Tiber!) and folinece (Chiaje) ; 
the same species occurs with and without tliickened lip. Conch, d. Mittelm. 
ii. pp. 116-118 & 441, 442. [The Recorder thinks that both genera may be 
safely united, as long as no other differences are known j but as neither the 
operculum nor the radula are known, the systematic place is uncertain.] 
Nassaria acuminata (Reeve). Median plate of the radula rectangular, 
with six teeth on its hinder edge j lateral plates bicuspidate. Troschel, 
Wiegm. Arch. 1868, p. 160, pi. 3. fig. 5. 
Nassaria farinosa (Gould) = angicostata (Pease). Pease, Am. 
Joum. Conch, iv. p. 109. 
Ehurna lutosa (Lam.). Median plate of the radula a little arcuated, with 
five teeth on its hinder edge, the middle three larger ; lateral plates bicus- 
pidate ; no accessory plates. Closely allied to Phos (Montf ). Troschel, 1. c. 
pp. 158-160, pi. 3. fig. 4. 
Nassid^. 
Nassa reticulata (L.). Lingual dentition by Hogg, Transact. Roy. Mi- 
croscop. Soc. xvi. pi. 10. fig. 34. 
Nassa. On the Mediterranean species, their synonymy and variation, see 
Weinkauff, Conchyl. d. Mittelm. ii. pp. 67-69. 
Nassa ehenacea^ sp. n., Gennari, Atti Soc. Ital. Sci. Nat. viii. p. 333 
(1866), Sardinia. [Perhaps not distinct from ^nutahilis (L.).] 
Nassa japonica^ sp. n., Lischke, Mai. Bliitt. xv. p. 220, Nagasaki. The 
author changes this name into halteata (xvi. 1869, p. 207), the former being 
preoccupied. 
Nassa moreleti (Crosse, Journ. Conch, xv. 1867) fully described and 
figured by Crosse, Journ. Conch, xvi. p. 169, pi. 6. fig. 3, locality unknown. 
Nassa gaudiosa (Hinds) = hVacma (Gould), N. lurida (Gould) = 
(A. Adams?, Reeve) (Beck), N albescens (Bunker) = 
(Hombr. et Jacq.), obliqua (Hombr. et J = onerata (Desk.), costellifera 
(A. Ad.)=:quogii (Hombr. et Jacq.). Pease, Am. Journ. Conch, iv. pp. 107, 
108. 
Cy elope neriteus [-«]. On its variations, the larger chiefly in brackish 
water, Weinkauff, Conch, d. Mittelm. ii. pp. 63-65. 
Olivid^e. 
Oliva. Marrat(Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ii. pp. 167, 168) states that O. vesica 
(Om.')—auriculariti, part. (JuMa.^^auricularia (RQQ\&)=patula, part. (Sow.) ; 
O.aquatilis (Reeve) ought to retain the name aurietdaria (Lam.); Olivar- 
cillaria auricularia (B’Orb.) is distinct, and to be called 0. orbiynyi. He 
describes as new the following (pp. 212-214) : — O. liynaria, Borneo; O. an- 
gustata, ChinsL-, O. ea’i7/s. South America ; O. California ? ; O. sabu-
