8. Australia. 
Cox, J. C. Catalogue of the specimens of the Australian land- 
shells in the collection of James C. Cox. Sydney, 1864, 
16mo. 
A rather rich catalogue, enumerating 133 species of Helix ^ 
17 BulimuSj 12 Vitrina, 8 Succinea, 6 Pupa, 1 Vertigo ^ 1 Balea, 
1 Biplommatina, 1 Trwicatella, 1 Blanfordiaj 2 Cyclostoma (both 
of doubtful origin), 1 Leptopoma, 3 Cyclopharus, 7 Pupina, 2 P^^- 
pinella, 1 Callia, 1 Hydrocena, 5 Helicina. The new species are 
described. It is to be regretted that no attempt is made at a 
natural arrangement of the Australian Helices , the 133 species 
being enumerated in one continuous series. One of them is 
European and probably introduced, H. nitida, Mull. {Hyalina 
or Zonitoides ) . Helix similaris and Leptcpoma vitreum may be 
mentioned as widely spread species. 
The same author published descriptions of 5 other species in 
Proc. Zool. Soc. 1864, p. 594, and of 26 others in Ann. & Mag. 
Nat. Hist. xiv. 1864, pp. 180-185.

9. Pacific Islands. 
Pease, W. H. Descriptions of new species of land-shells from 
the islands of the Central Pacific. Proc. Zool. Soc. 1864, 
pp. 668-676. 
A rather large number of specimens supposed by the author 
to be new were sent to London, and compared with those in the 
Cumingian collection ; those considered by Mr. Cuming as 
new are described by Dr. P. P. Carpenter; a list of the re- 
mainder, with the synonyms as determined by Messrs. Cuming 
and H. Adams, is given for persons who may have received them 
with Mr. Pease’s manuscript names. 
Localities are given in only a few cases ; probably the greater 
part are from the Sandwich group (or Tahiti ?) .
