Brandenburg. To the malacological fauna of this province have been added 
Hyalina striatida (Gray) (Alder), H. pura Helix striata 
(hliill.) = costulata (Ziegi.), Buliminus tridens (INIiilL), Clausilia biplicata 
(Mont.), Pupa substriata (Jeffr.), and Puptda fusca (Walker). Dr. O.

Wurzburg. Fifty species of terrestrial and 25 of freshwater mollusca 
are found living near Wurzburg, on the upper part of the Main, according 
to Sandberger’s list. The more interesting among them are: — Limax 
ceretis (Held.), Amalia marginata (Drap.), Daudebardia rufa (Drap.), Helix 
8cricea (Diap.)fCandidula (Stud.), Buliminus detritus (Miill.), tridens (Miill.), 
Balea fragilis (Drap.), 6 species of Clausilia and the same number of Pupa, 
Cyclas rivicola (Lam.), Tiehogonia polymorpha. They represent the typical 
fauna of the triassic limestone - hills (Muschelkalk) of Middle Germany, 
which is peculiarly poor in freshwater shells, neither Paludina, nor Planorbis 
comeus, nor Physa hypnormn being found. Wiirzburger naturwissensch.

common species. 
Belgium. F. de Malzine enumerates 28 species of freshwater bivalves, 
39 freshwater, and 86 land-gastropods as inhabiting the Belgian kingdom. 
Some of them are described as new species. Helix aspersa, cantiana, car- 
thusiana, caperata, variabilis, Pupa cylindi'ica [ —umbilicata\ and Cyclostoma 
elegans give to the Belgian fauna rather a French or English than German 
character ; the genus Clausilia is well represented by 8 species, Piipia by 6, 
and Vertigo by 6. Among the freshwater shells, Amphipeplea ylutinosa, Bi- 
thynia leachi, Hydrobia abbreviata, viridis, and similis may be mentioned as 
species not generally spread through the neighbouring countries. Unio mar- 
garitifer inhabits the river Ourthe and some streams in the hilly country of 
the Ardennes. Dreissena polymorpha is to be found in the Meuse, Sambre, 
and Escaut j D. cochleata (Nyst) introduced into the port of Antwerp. Of 
brackish-water mollusks, Tralia [Alexia'] myosotis and Assimmea grayana may 
be mentioned. The existence of Testacella within the Belgian kingdom is 
denied. 
Eastern France, H. Drouet enumerates, in his list of the Mollusks of 
the French department C6te d’or, 11 species of slugs, 72 shell-boaring land- 
snails, 32 freshwater gastropods, and 22 bivalves. The following may be 
mentioned here : — Geomalacus hiemalis (new), Vitrina major (F(5r.) and annu- 
laris (Venetz), Succinea ochracea (Botta) and arenaria (Bouch.), Zonites ni- 
tens (Mich.), radiatxdus , purus (Aid.), Helix rupestris (Drap.), obvoluta 
(Miill.), asptersa (Miill.), strigella (Drap.), carihusiana (Miill.), montana
