Faunae. 
Rhizopods of North America, (8) : — The districts examined by 
Leidy personally include parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecti- 
cut, Rhode Island, Wyoming, and Partridge Island in the Bay of Fundy. 
Hints are given, p. 8, on habitats and methods of collecting and 
examining freshwater Rhizopods, with full and careful definitions of 
the orders, sub-orders, genera, and species discussed, and exhaustive 
synonymic details — too long to be inserted here as a rule — by which a 
great number of authors’ names are reduced to synonymic rank. A 
very full bibliography, with a synonymic list of all described species is 
added. List of species observed to occur together in certain localities, 
varying from 9 to 38 in the different cases, are given. 
The study of the structure of Radiolaria by Heutwig (7), was made 
on the Mediterranean species obtained at Messina ; 10 new species are 
described, and a large number of those already known are noticed and 
figured ; but the work is essentially anatomical, not zoological. [Soem/ya 
for the details.]
