of the Channel.

Particular attention is paid to the boring mollusks. Fissurella 
grceca is said to exhibit, when very young, the characters of the 
genus Rimula. As Mediterranean species still living on this part 
of the west coast of France, but not extending, to Great Biitain, 
may be named Cerithmm vulgatuMj Triton nodifer, T. ciduceuSj 
and Cassidaria tyrrhena,

One hundi’ed and seventy-seven species have been observed by 
the author, among which we find Cassis saburon, Ranella gi- 
gantea, Triton corrugatuSy and Purpura hcemastoma, Nassa gal- 
landiana (Fischer, Journ. Conch. 1863) is new to the French 
fauna. This fauna may be said to be a mixture of Mediterranean 
and Celtic species. Much attention is paid to the experiments 
of oyster-breeding.

One hundred and eleven species are mentioned, forty-five of which are 
considered to he entirely new, the others are said to have been hitherto 
known from the Tyrrhenian part of the Mediterranean only, but not from 
the Adriatic. ' As tlie author establishes some species from differences of 
colour only, and himself confesses to have a short time ago regarded as new 
species the young specimens of the well-known Trochus fermonii (Payr.), 
no great reliance is to be placed on his opinion as regards the real distinct- 
ness of some of his new species.
