which are fossilized in the glacial deposits of Sweden and the British isles 
appear no longer to exist as living in the Mediterranean, although they 
were abundant there during the newer pliocene period (deposits of Fica- 
razzi). Alphonse Milne-Edwards, “Rapport de la Commission pour la 
Faune sousmarine,” pp. 18 & 19 ; also in C. R. xcv. pp. 1201-1203 ; J. de 
Conch, xxx. pp. 246 & 247, new species, pp. 49-53 & 273-276 ; Ann. N. H. 
(5) ix. pp. 37-41 & 477-479, and Le Nat. 1882, p. 121. 
J. G. Jeffreys enumerates 36 species dredged near the Western Coasts 
of Italy and Sicily, in depths of 32-1970 fath., by tie Italian surveying 
ship ‘ Washington ’ in 1881, some of which were only known hitherto as 
pliocene fossils ; Ann. N. H. (5) x. pp. 25-37. 
E. II. Giglioli gives preliminary notes on the same subject, with 
peculiar regard to the Cephalopods and Pteropods, in the Report of the 
third International Geographical Congress, and in Ann. Sci. Nat. (6) xiii.

J. G. Hidalgo continues his work on the marine Mollusca of Spain, 
figuring in the 17th part species of the genera Pecten, Cardium. Chama, 
Saxicava , Clavagella, Pholcis, and Tapes. 
E. Bucquoy & P. Dautzenberg begin a treatise on the sea shells of 
Roussillon, South coast of France, the first fascicle treating of the Muri- 
cidce , including Tritonium and Cancellaria ; the second of the Buccinidce , 
including Cassis and Columbella, all illustrated by photographical figures;

lusca dredged by Admiral Spratt in 1856 ; Ann. N. H. (5) x. pp. 425-427.

New England , Nova Scotia , and New Brunswick. A. E. Verrill gives 
a very valuable paper on 255 species and varieties of marine Mollusca not 
described in the second edition of Gould’s “ Invertebrata of Massachusetts,” 
1870; many are due to the dredging expeditions of the ‘Fish Hawk’ 
in the deeper waters off the southern coast of New England. A large 
number of them occur also on the coasts of Norway and England, and 
some others are nearly allied to species of the Mediterranean. The new 
species and those not before figured will be mentioned infra ; the figures 
are well executed. Tr. Conn. Ac. v. pp. 447-587, pis. xlii.-xliv., lvii.
