Wiirtt. XXV. pp. 223, 224. They are Clausilia Jilograna (Ziegl.), Helix cobre- 
siana (Alten), Limax hrunneus (Drap.), BuUa perversa (L.), and Hyalina 
radiatula (Alder). 
Bohemia. The malacological fauna of this province, which hitherto has 
been very little and only locally known (see the list of stray notes in Nach- 
richtsblatt d. deutschen malakol. Gesellsch. 1860, p. 52), has been treated 
by A. Slavik in a journal for natural-history researches in Bohemia. It con- 
tains 107 species, 66 terrestrial and 41 of fresh water ; among the more 
remarkable are Zonites verticillus (Fer.), Helix carpatica (Friv.), faustina 
(Ziegl.), holoserica (Stud.), austriaca (Mhlfld.), Clatisilia oi'nata (Ziegl.), and 
the freshwater pearl-mussel. In the introduction, the author characterizes 
nine districts from peculiar geognostical and malacological features. A more 
detailed account of this paper is given in Malak. Blatt. xvi. pp. 229-234, and 
in Nachrichtsbl. mal. Gesellsch. ii. pp. 77-79. 
Carpathian 3Iountains. A report on some land- and freshwater shells, col- 
lected in the Carpathian Mountains by Dr. Dybowsky and Dr. Jachiio, by 
E. V. Martens, with some remarks on Helix faustina (Ziegl.), H. cingulella 
(Rossm.), andPwjoa gidaris, var. spoliata (Rossm.), Nachrichtsbl. mal. Gesellsch. 
i. pp. 118-121. Others, and partly the same, from the Tatra Mountains, and 
also from Podolia, are noticed by Prof. M. Nowicki in Nachrichtsbl. pp. 137 
and 216. 
Transylvania. E. A. Bielz has published a second edition of his very 
valuable book on the mollusks of that province ; the differences of this new 
edition from the first are chiefly in the systematic arrangement of the Heli~ 
cidce, and in a revision of the species of Limacidce^ some of which were omitted 
in the first edition, viz. Amalia marginata (Drap.), Limax cinereoniger (Wolf) 
and transilvanicus (lleynemann) ; L. varieyatus (Drap.) and L. silvaticus 
(Drap.) do not belong to the Transylvanian fauna. Among the shells. Helix 
schmidtii (Zeigl.) is new to that province. The introductory remarks con- 
taining condensed instructions for collecting and studying mollusks, the 
accurate descriptions of each species, the geographical remarks, and general 
conclusions are essentially the same in both editions. The number of recorded 
localities for the species has of course been increased in the second. 
Tyrol. V. Gredler adds to the fauna of the Mollusca of Tyrol, published 
by him in 1856-69, the following species : — Helix gohanzii (Frauenf.), Val 
Vestina ; Pupa tirolen sis, sp. n. ; Clausilia rossmcessleri (Pfr.), var. lorinm 
(Gobanz) ; Cl. stroheli (Torro); Bythinia proxima (Frauenf.) j Hydrohia 
schmidtii (Charp.) and lacheineri (Charp.). The author adds a great number 
of new localities for species already known as inhabilanls of Tyrol. 
Sivitzerland. Sixty species of land-shells (two of which are new) and 20 of 
freshwater-shells have been collected by Fr. Rofliaen. Ann. Soc. malacol. 
Belg. iii. p. 66. 
One species of Limncea, one of Valvata, and one of Pisidiufn have been 
found at the depth of 75 metres, about 250 feet, in the lake of Geneva, by 
Dr. Forel. Bulletin de la Soc. Vaudoise des Sci. Nat. x. 1869, p. 221. 
Western France. Letourneux (Rev. et INIag. Zool. 1869, p. 49) has given 
an account of the mollusks of La Vendee j the list contains most of the 
common land-snails of Middle Europe, and nearly all its freshwater species. 
Some peculiar to Western Europe are added j and the southern group Xero- 
phila is common on the seashore. The author, who follows Bourguignat in
