Moll 3 
the subject of a paper by Verrill and Bush (486), the former author 
having also written a study of the Pectinidce , a subject which has attracted 
Douvill^ (126). 
A living Pleurotomaria beyrichii has been observed by Mitsukuri 
(306); we hope to hear further on its anatomy. Plate (373) has issued 
a memoir on the anatomy and phylogeny of the Chitonidce: and Rice 
(390) has studied the gills in the Pelecupoda with a view to arriving 
at their phylogeny and relations; we give his results on p. 31. 
Amongst palaeontological papers of special interest to students of the 
recent Mollusca we may name those of Kennard and Woodward (236) 
on the English cave- deposits ; of Blanckenhorn (44) on the quaternary 
of Syria; of Cossmann (94, 95) on the tertiary of France and Belgium; 
the catalogue of the Australasian tertiary molluscs by Harris (184) ; 
and also the papers by Sacco (403), though those last are somewhat 
overburdened by his system of nomenclature. 
Amongst the more remarkable efforts in nomenclature during the past 
year wo may recall the fact that the author who recently named a shell 
Extra extra , has now perpetrated Diabolica diabolica for a recent species 
of unknown habitat ! 
The Recorders desire to call attention to the serious inconvenience 
occasioned by the neglect of authors, especially on the Continent, to affix 
any distinguishing mark to genera and species, whereby it may be ascer- 
tained whether they are proposed as new or not ; several such cases have 
occurred in the preparation of the present Record. 
In conclusion the Recorders have to express their special thanks to 
Mr B. B. Woodward, as also to those authors who have favoured them with 
reprints of their papers ; further, they have to apologise for any errors and 
omissions that may result from their inexperience. For any notes of such 
errors they will feel obliged, as also for criticisms that may occur to 
students.
