Miocene fauna of Roumania, and especially treats of the genus TJnio , 
which ignorant of the Swedish custom of the time, he persists in attribut- 
ing to Philipson, instead of to Retzius, its real author. Judging from the 
figures, many of the species must greatly resemble forms now living in 
the United States. 
The methods of the species-maker are notoriously beyond the compre- 
hension of the real student, and still more so of the recorder. In 1895 
an instance was met with where a new genus of fossil Cephalopod was 
founded for a single fragment which the author was fain to put down as 
“sp. indet.”; this is now surpassed by the individual who creates a new 
genus, Roncania , for a unique scrap which he proceeds to describe as 
“ Roncania P jprima .” 
In conclusion, it seems only fair to malacologists generally to warn 
them that the dates on the parts of the Journal de Conchyliologie are 
grossly misleading, the four received in England during the year were : — 
Avril, 1895, received 27 April, 1896. 
Juillet, 1895 ., 13 June, 1896. 
Octobre, 1895 „ 12 Sept., 1896. 
Janvier, 1896 „ 31 Dec., 1896.
