Lorraine. Some notes concerning the land-shells of the department 
des Vosges, by Collin, P. v. Mal. Belg. iv. (1875) p. Ixxxi, 
Alsace. M, P. Hagenmuller has enumerated 91 terrestrial and 49 
freshwater species observed by himself. Bull. Soc. Colmar, 1871 & 1872, 
p. 235 ; F. Meyer critically discusses this list, Nachr. mal. Ges. 1876, 
pp. 104-106 and 113-123 ; L. Morelet makes some additions to it con- 
cerning several contested species, and especially Helix aspersa (Miilh.), 
which he has observed near Colmar and on the dyke of the Rhine, J. de 
Conch, xxiv. (1877), pp. 240 & 241. 
Notes on the conchological fauna of the mountain ranges Rhbn and 
Schwarzwald by F. Sanduerger, Nachr. mal. Ges. 1876, pp. 150 & 151. 
J. E. Daniel gives a list of 105 land- and freshwater-shells found 
near Heidelberg. [The author appears not to be acquainted with the 
German literature on the subject, for example, Kreglinger’s and 
Gysser’s pamphlets of the Mollusca of that district, published in 1863 
& 1864. He is also wrong in supposing H. naticoides (Drap.) to live in 
Switzerland, and in expecting it in Baden ; this species is limited to the 
Mediterranean province. The occurrence of Testacella at Heidelberg 
is very doubtful, no German conchologist having found it in Germany. 
Concerning Helix bidens^ occurring in the fossil, but not recent state, in 
Western Germany, and Clausilia itala, very probably introduced from 
Upper Italy, cf. the statements quoted in Zool. Bee. vii. p. 120, and x. 
p. 167.] 
Suabia. D. Weinland has published a treatise on the land- and 
freshwater-shells found in the chain of Jurassic limestone called the 
“ Schwabische Alb,” in Wurteniberg ; he has accurately explored the 
environs of Urach, and gives many very interesting notes on the 
occurrence aud habits of several species, some of which are mentioned 
infra ; he enumerates 70 terrestrial and 4 freshwater species, and dis- 
tinguishes among the former 28 inhabitants of woods, 14 of hedges and 
borders of wood, and 32 of meadows, and 8 adhering to rocks ; 22 form a 
peculiar niountain fauna, 34 are common to mountain and plain, and of 
16 of these only deteriorated or stunted forms are to be found on the 
mountains. JH, Ver. Wiirtt. 1876. 
Alps. Notes on the hypsometrical distribution of the land- and fresh- 
water-shells in the Alps of Piedmont and Savoy, taken from the works 
of Mortillet and Stabile, distinguishing 6 zones: — (1) Zone of ff.carthu- 
siana^ below 1000 metres, comprising also all freshwater shells ; (2) Zone 
of H. obvolata, 1200-1500 metres ; (3) Zone of //. fonteniUU, 1200-1500
