Bavaria. Dr. Walseh notes the occurrence of various species of land 
and freshwater shells in different parts of Bavaria. Nachr. mal. Ges. ii. 
pp. 93-90, Among them may he mentioned Xlnio platyrhynckus in the

Bohemia. A few additions to the malacological fauna of Carlshad and 
Franzenshrunn (Zool. Bee. ii. p. 220) are given hy Lehmann, Mal. Bl.

Transylvania. E. A. Bielz has published a list of G9 species, containing 
48 land and 21 freshwater shells, found near Klausenhurg j among them are

Helix ru 2 )estris, faicstma, Pupa avenacea, Clausilia bielzi. The paper is written

E'ance. Several French conchologists have contributed their part to a 
Prodrome a I’histoire malacologique de la France,” viz. J. Mabille the 
Limacidee, Massot the genus Testacella, Penchinat the genera Parmacclla 
and Daudebardia, and Paladilhe the Paludinidce. Ann. Mal. pp. 105-244. 
The numbers of species in the individual genera will be mentioned in the

Several new species from Southern France, Spain, and Algeria described

Southern Tyrol. E. de Betta, who published in 1852 a pamphlet con-
