NOTICES OF SERIALS. 
Dublin; omitting, for the present, Helix hortensis (as Mr. Gordon follows 
Forbes and Hanly), he leaves 48 as the number given by Mr. Walpole in Dublin—- 
thus, with our superior natural advantages, giving us a majority of only 2 over 
Moray; when, as we know, that instead of 48, we possess at least 57, thus 
raising the majority to 11: farther, whole families are omitted in Mr. Walpole’s 
list, as the “ Tunicata,” “ Brachipoda,” “ Nudibranchiata,” and the “ Cephalopoda,” 
all of which have their representatives with us. As it is intended shortly to give a 
complete catalogue of the Molluscean Fauna of Dublin and Dublin Bay, and to in¬ 
stitute a more equitable comparison between it and our northern friends of Moray; 
we shall dwell no longer on the subject here. If we have any other fault with 
this catalogue, it is that of giving the English names ; and we think this trivial in 
the extreme. We do not feel inclined to ridicule ; but, which of the readers of the 
“Zoologist” would know the Physahypnorum under the title of “ Ferruginous Bubble - 
shell ”—and so in countless instances. Mr. Gordon professes himself to be a fol¬ 
lower of our deeply-lamented friend, Professor E. Forbes, and of Silvanus Hanley; 
but, surely, he never learnt this of them. (W. F. Templer) Some remarks on the 
Marine Fauna of the South of Devon. We trust Mr. Templer will not forget to 
favour the editor of the u Zoologist” with his list of Zoophytes, as their distribution is 
a subject of much interest. (H. T. Stainton) Entomological Botany, with more 
special reference to the plants frequented by the Tineina. This is a most interest¬ 
ing paper, and we hope to see the subject fully treated in future numbers. (E. T. 
Ingpen) Extract from a Letter of a Gold-digger; (O. Mosley) Remarkable 
Anecdote of a Hedgehog; (E. H. Rodd) Occurence of the Short-toed Lark at

man) Amphipeplia involuta; (H. Stainton) On the want of some Systematic 
Record of the New Additions continuously made to our Entomological 
Fauna. The idea contained in this notice, which deserved the most conspicuous 
part of the “Zoologist,” our readers will find fully carried out in the “Entomologists’ 
Annual.”* (J. N. Winter) Capture of Catocala Fraxini at Brighton. Proceedings 
of Societies—Entomological Society, September 4, 1854 ; Tyneside Naturalists’ 
Field Club. The fifth field meeting for the year was held at Alnwick, on the 
31st August. Society of British Entomologists, September 6,1854. 
No. 145, November:—(J. C. Dale) Remarks on Mr. F. Smith’s “Catalogue of 
British Hymenoptera Aculeata.” What the remarks are, we are perfectly unable 
to make out. (W. T. Burnett, M.D.) Researches on the Development of Vivi¬ 
parous Aphides. This is a reprint from Silliman’s Journal for January, 1854.
