LiTORINIDiE. 
' Litorina grandis (Midd.) is common in the Bay de Castries and Mant- 
churia, as well as in the northern Japanese islands, Sachalin and Yessoj 
the form of the young shell is rather variable, sometimes much broader, as in 
the full-grown, and as broad as long. L. tenehrosa (Mont.) =.sitchana (Phil.) = 
kurila (Midd.), with the sculpture and colour very variable ; common in the 
northern parts of the Pacific, from Sitka along the Aleutes, Kamtschatka, and 
the Kurilos, to Sachalin, Yesso, and the coast of Mantchuria. L. brevi-

Cremnobates * (Blanf.) . The radula of this curious LiUorina-like land-shell, 
which was discovered by Blanford on naked rocks of the Western Ghats near 
Bombay, has been examined by Troschel, and proves to be that of a Litton 
rina. A minute difference is, that the median lamina wants the lamellar 
expansions at its base, as far as this can be ascertained from the preparation 
of one specimen. The same are also absent in Tecttis (Montf.), which also is 
very near to Littorina. Troschel, Arch. f. Naturgeschichte, vol. xxxiii.
