MOLLUSCA. 
165 
and 12 Buliminus. [These large mimhers are due to the cir- 
cumstance that the Austrian Empire includes parts of the Ger 7 
manic or Northern European, of the Alpine and Mediterranean 
zoological provinces of Europe ; the number of species will be 
still greater in the genus Clausiliay which will be treated in the 
continuation of the paper, not yet seen by the Kecorder.]

One hundred species are enumerated, all land-snails. 
[Twenty species of Pupa^ and only 11 of Clausilia; these

A list of 68 land-, 34 freshwater, and 2 submarine (Auricula) 
mollusks, with several varieties ; the most remarkable is Mela- 
nopsis dufourii (Fer.), collected in a streamlet of hot water called 
Caldana di Ravi, near Campiglia, on sandy bottom, a few centi- 
metres deep. Hitherto no Melanopsis had been found in Italy, 
though they are well represented in Spain as well as in Greece ; 
some inaccurate statements concerning the occurrence of that 
genus in Southern France are corrected by Paladilhe. Rev. et
