Aporrhais pes-pelecani. Idngual dentition by Hogg, Transact. Roy. Mi- 
croscop. Soc. xvi. pi. 9. fig. 20. — Weinkaulf (Oonch. d. Mittelm. ii. pp. 148- 
163) rejects the name Aporrhais because (as he unjustly supposes) Ha 
Costa did not use binominal nomenclature ; therefore he names the species 
Chen&pus pes-pelecani^ and includes as synonym pes-cai'honis (Brongn.), but 
considers Ch. soi't'esianus to be distinct. On the other hand, Gabb retains 
Aporrhais as a name used by Dillwjm in 1823. Am. Journ. Conch, iv.

caster (Brocchi) and minutmn (Marcel de Serres), Weinkauff, Conch, d. 
Mittelm. ii. pp. 154-167. — C. meditoraneum (T)esh.), its variations and dis- 
tinctness from dolium (Brocchi), pp. 167-159 and 443, 444 ; conicum (Blaiiiv.)

Melaniid^. 
A. Brot has published '^Additions and Corrections^^ to 
his Catalogue of this family (1862), the extent of which 
nearly equals that of the former publication. The systematic 
arrangement is about the same. The separation of the North- 
American Melaniidse into a distinct family, Strepomatidse, pro- 
posed by Stimpson (see Record, vol. ii. pp. 253-255), is not ap- 
proved of (Tntroduct. pp. vi, vii). Canidia and Clea (H. Adams) 
are admitted as distinct genera, and placed between Hemisinus 
(Swains.) and Melanopsis (Fer.). The work contains a large 
stock of information concerning the specific distinctions or iden- 
tities and systematic arrangement of a great number of species.
