ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
great number of Risso£e collected at different localities of the Mediterranean, 
not a single specimen has occurred j so that we are much inclined to think 
that it does not iiihahit that sea, although Schwailz mentions Corsica also 
as one of its habitats. 
Missoa subcostulata. This name is substituted by Schwartz von Mohrenstern 
for the British H. costulata (Alder) which is different from 11. costulata (Bisso). 
Rissoa Jeffrey si, Waller, Ann. »& Mag. Nat. Hist. xiv. p. 136. Unst, Shetland.

Ilydrobia. M. Bourguigiiat (Malac. Alger, v.) describes and figures the 
following species from Algeria : II, peraudieri, II. acerosa, II brondeli (= 
II. acuta of previous authors), H. arenaria, II. sordida (Kiist. sp.). 
Ilydrobia duveyrieri, Bourguignat, Moll. terr. et fiuv. de la Sahara. — Ilydro- 
bia compacta, Carpenter, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 1864, xiii. p. 478, an II. 
barbeia ? From Cape St. Lucas, California. 
Moitesseria. Dr. E. von Martens reported on this genus in Mai. Blatt. 
p. 162 } it was established by M. Bourguignat in the preceding year for the 
so-called Paludina or Acicida simoniana j its systematic position cannot be 
determined at present with certainty, as neither the operculum, nor the soft 
parts, nor the radula are known. With regard to the shell, it closely ap- 
proaches Ilydrobia, from which it is distinguished by a notch in the outer lip 
of the aperture, similar to that in Pleurotoma.

An alphabetical list of all tbe names of species belonging to 
tbe old genus Paludina, with tbe modern synonymy and nume- 
rous critical remarks. AVe beg to make a few additions to tbe 
latter : — 
p. 571. auyularis (Miill.), described in the ‘Hlistoria Vermium ” and figured 
by Chemnitz, is the Chinese Pal. quadrata (Bens.), and not the species of the 
Eastern Archipelago (as believed by Philippi and others), which is much 
nearer to costata (Q. & G.). — P. carinata (Val.) is very probably not from, 
hfexico, but from the Philippines, just as Nanina ovum and N. stolep)hora\{Qm 
erroneously indicated by the same author as Mexican species. 
p. 617. inyallsiana (Lea). This is the most common species in Siamj the 
locality “ Japan,” attached to specimens in Mr. Cuming’s collection, seems to 
us very doubtful.
