PULMONATA, 
GEOrillLA. 
C. Semper^s work on the land-snails of the Philippines is a 
very valuable addition to the anatomical knowledge of the 
exotic Pulmonata; the part which has been published treats 
only of the Zonitidse, and devotes five of the seven plates to 
anatomical figures, especially the genital apparatus, the jaw, and 
the dentition of the radula. The author gives special attention 
to the prominent lobes of the mantle, which are not covered by 
the shell when the animal is in activity, distinguishing two sorts, 
the cervical lobes, extended forwards and covering a part of the 
neck before the shell, and the shell-lobes, which are reflected 
backwards and applied to the outer surface of the shell. There 
are ordinarily two of each sort present, a right and a left one ; 
but in some genera the one or other is wanting or is subdivided.
