fascicule, Avril 1864. Paris, 4to, with 22 plates represent- 
ing all the species mentioned *. 
We mention here some of the species, the occurrence of which in Algeria 
was not yet, or at least not generally, known : JBulimus fasciolatus (Olivier), 
pi. 1. figs. 22-24 (this is the shell which has been taken by some other authors 
tor B. radiatns ) ; B. decollatus (L.), attaining to 25-30 mm. in length and to 
10-11 in diameter, pi. 1. figs. 1-21; Clamilia hidem(\j.) var. virgaia (Jan) and 
Cl. Idournevxi, sp. n., both found near Algiers in the alluvial soil of the little 
ravine of Ohabet-Beinan near Cape Cascino by Messrs. Letourneux and 
Poupillar ; a third ClausiUa of Northern Africa is Cl. tristrami Pfr. ; [a fourth, 
Cl. plicatida, Brap.,is found on the borders between Marokko and Algiers, as 
.stated by Morelet, Joum. Conch, p. 135]. 
The following European species of Pupa have been found in Algeria : — 
P.polyodon (l)rap.), with a var. minor {—rmgicula, Mich.), pi. 5. f. 14-18; 
P. Brauni (Rossm.), f. 28-34 ; P. goniostoma (Kiister), f. 35-38 ; and P. muscorum 
(L.), pi. 6. f. 20-24; also Vertigo minutissima (Hartm.) = 7nM5corwm (Drap.), 
pi. 6. f. 28-32. Three species of Cyclostoma have been long known as Algerian ; 
C. sidcatum (Drap.), C. mammillare (Lam.)=7Jo/teeawwm (Mich.) (Leoniaj 
Gray), and C. ferrugineum, Lam. ( Tudora, Gray) : the first inhabits almost 
the whole eastern part of Algeria, the second seems peculiar to the province 
Oran, the third has never been received by M. Bourguignat directly from the 
French possessions in Northern Africa. The following European species of 
Limneeus are also Algerian : L. aurietdarius (L.), including as variety 
L. trencaleonis (G assies), L. limosus (L.)=ovatus (Drap.), L. palustiM 
(Miill.), P. .gZrtJcr (Mull.) = c/ow</a^ws (Drap.), and L. trimcatidus (Mull.) = 
minutus (Drap.). Eleven species of Ancylns are distinguished by the author, 
all having been described in former papers, and not figured in the parts 
we have seen : simplex (Buchoz), Hom^.^Jluviatilis, auct. ; striatus (Webb et 
* We have not seen the sixth and last fasciculus, which will contain the 
introduction, the text of the Melaniadce, the Bivalvia, and the plates repre- 
senting AncyluSj Cyclostomay Paludinidce, and Bpheeriadee {Cycladea).
