QEOaRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION. 
Moll. 15 
gives a condensed synopsis of the known European land-shells, with Latin 
diagnoses and short indication of habitat ; the first part, all yet pub- 
lished, contains Dandehardia, Glandina, Arion^ Limax, Parmacella^ 
Vitrind, Jffyalma, Zonites, Leucochroa, Helix, Buliminus, and Cochlicopa 
{Cionella). Some objections with regard to single species by W. Kobelt, 
JB. mal. Ges. iv. pp. 272-275. 
W. Kobelt publishes numerous additions and corrections to his 
“ Catalog der im europaischen Faunengebiet lebenden Binnenconchylien ” 
[see Zool. Rec. viii. p. 122], JB. mal. Ges. iv. pp. 15-45. 
W. Kobelt has published a new volume of Rossmassler’s Iconographie 
der Land- und Siisswasser- Mollusken [see Zool. Rec. xii. p. 141], 
describing and figuring a large number of terrestrial shells and Lim^ 
nceidce from Europe, Northern Africa, and Western Asia, not yet, or not 
sufficiently treated in the preceding volnmes; it contains nearly all 
novelties of the genera Helix, Bulimus, Vitrina, and Daudehardia 
detected in the last twenty years in these parts of the world. The author 
generally uses a sound judgment with regard to specific distinctions, and 
gives interesting observations upon geographical distribution. The figures 
are generally good ; sbme few are copied from other authors. 
Some notes on Kobelt’s continuation of Rossmassler’s Iconography, 
concerning single species, by the Recorder, tom. cit. pp. 185-194.
