INTRODUCTION. 
The Record for 1896 contains about the same number of Titles as that

articles having been written. Amongst others, those of Mansen, Rcss, 
and Saciiaroff should be consulted. A full list will be found under 
the head, “ Pathology,” of the Section Biology. 
The largest memoir of the year is Shevyatcov’s on the Ciliata aspiro- 
trocha. Unfortunately, it is written in Russian, and is therefore inac- 
cessible to the great majority of English readers. 
Lankester’s rediscovery in Switzerland and description of Chlamydo- 
myxa are worthy of note, as also is Borgert’s paper on the reproduction 
of the Radiolaria tripylcea. Carter & Sutton have both described a 
number of new fossil species of Radiolaria from Barbadoes. 
The larger works of the year deal principally with the Foraminifcra. 
Chapman & Rupert Jones continue their monographs of the Foramini- 
fera of the Gault of Folkestone and of the Crag respectively. Goes has
