ZOOLOGICAL EECOED ASSOCIATION 
(FOUNDED 11 JANUARY, 1871). 
Extract from the Rules adopted at the General Meeting 
held 16 March, 1871. 
" 1. This Association shall be called the ZOOLOGICAL E E C O E D 
ASSOCIATION, and its object shall be to continue the publication 
of the ' Eecord of Zoological Literature.' 
" 2. The Association shall consist of Members and Subscribers. 
" 3 . Members are entitled to receive a copy of the Annual 
Volume, and are liable to the extent of £5, in the event of the 
funds from all other sources not being equal to meet the Annual 
Expenditure. W h e n this amount of £5 has once been reached, 
Members can either withdraw or renew their Membership, and 
thereby incur a fresh liability. 
" 4. Subscribers shall pay annually on the 1st of July Twenty 
Shillings, but incur no other liability; in return for this they 
receive the Volume containing the Eecord of Zoological Litera­
ture of the preceding year as soon as it is published. 
" 5. The publishing price of each Volume shall be fixed by 
the Council of the Association, and that of the first Volume 
shall not be less than Thirty Shillings." 
Those unacquainted with the ' E E C O E D OE ZOOLOGICAL LITEEA-
TTTEE' are informed that it was commenced in the year 1865, 
under the Editorship of Dr. GTTNTHEE, E.E.S., since which time 
Six annual Volumes have been published, each containing a very 
full abstract of, and a very complete index to, the Zoological 
Literature of the preceding year. 
Dr. GtNTHEE having resigned the Editorship to Prof. N E W T O N , 
F.E.S., and the publisher being unwilling to continue an under­
taking which, though warmly encouraged by such zoologists as 
were acquainted with it, had not proved profitable, the Zoolo­
gical. Eecord Committee appointed by the British Association for 
the Advancement of Science resolved upon founding a ZOOLO­
GICAL E E C O E D ASSOCIATION as the best means of carrying on the 
o 
work, and upon inviting zoologists generally to cooperate with 
them in attaining the desired object. 
The ASSOCIATION, as may be soon from the Eules above quoted, 
consists of J/< mbcrs and Subscribers ; and gentlemen desirous of 
joining it in either capacity are requested to forward their names 
to the S E C R E T A R Y . 
The Seventh Volume, containing the < E E C O R D ' for the year 
1>70, is now ready for delivery to the Members and the Sub­
scribers of Twenty Shillings, its price to the public being Thirty 
Shillings,

D R . GiJNTHER having last year put into execution his long-
meditated intention of resigning to m e the editorship of ' T H E 
R E C O R D OF ZOOLOGICAL L I T E R A T U R E / and its publisher being 
unwilling to continue an unprofitable undertaking, it fell to me, 
and to the friends I consulted, to devise some plan whereby that 
work, which had been warmly encouraged by such zoologists as 
were acquainted with it, should be carried on. 
The British Association for the Advancement of Science 
having again repeated its grant of £100 towards the publica­
tion of a Zoological Record, I was at first in hopes that the 
Ray Society would help the cause, and I accordingly ad­
dressed a proposal to that effect to the Society's Council. This 
proposal was declined; and, however much I may regret the 
fact, I cannot, when regarding the large number of works to 
the publication of which the Society is pledged, complain of the 
decision, made k own to m e as it was in most courteous and 
complimentary terms. 
No further hope of aid existing in this quarter, a meeting of 
the Zoological Record Committee, appointed by the British 
Association, was summoned on the 11th of January, 1871; 
and, after due deliberation, it was resolved that its members 
A 2 
iv PREFACE. 
should form themselves into a Z O O L O G I C A L R E C O R D ASSOCIA­
TION-, and should invite the cooperation of zoologists generally 
to attain the desired object, the principle of the Association 
being similar to that of a small society of gentlemen who had 
bv its means successfully carried on for more than a dozen 
years a scientific journal in which they were interested. 
The resolution of the Committee was favourably received by 
the zoological public; and when, on the 16th of March, 187], 
a general meeting of the new Association was held to settle its 
fundamental rules, it was found to consist of nearly sixty m e m ­
bers, among whom were most of the leaders in every branch of 
zoology throughout the United Kingdom. 
Thus much being said by way of explanation, I have to add 
a few words respecting the present volume. Deprived by one 
cause or another of the cooperation of some of m y predecessor's 
most valued contributors, I have had to supply their place by 
new Recorders; and the result has been a much larger infusion 
of fresh blood into the staff of the work than had occurred since 
it Mas begun. Some of these gentlemen have wished m e to 
say a word on behalf of their inexperience when succeeding 
Recorders of proved capacity; but this seems to m e unneces­
sary. Their work speaks best for itself; and if any deficiency 
of execution through want of practice be detected, it may be 
thought to be mure than counterbalanced by the introduction 
of new, and perhaps improved, modes of treatment. 
The late continental war, as might be expected, has seriously 
deranged the publication of many scientific journals, and in 
consequence the zoological literature of 1870 is considerably 
PREFACE. V 
less than that of preceding years. Nevertheless the reduced 
bulk of the present volume must not be altogether ascribed to 
that cause, but is in a great measure owing to the increased 
care of some of the Recorders to condense their respective 
contributions. I have to repeat the regrets before expressed 
by m y predecessor, that a large number of journals which have, 
or should have, appeared in the past year did not reach this 
country in time for their contents to be noticed here, while the 
precise pagination of very many papers which are recorded 
cannot be given, owing to the fact of their being only known 
to the Recorders in the form of separate copies which withhold 
this very necessary information. 
The want of uniformity in the mode of citing the numerous 
journals to which reference is made, though hitherto unavoid­
able, has caused considerable inconvenience to those who use 
this work. Accordingly steps were taken whereby a more re­
gular system should be adopted, and, thanks to. the Recorders, 
most of w h o m readily followed the suggestion, this has been 
partially done. Next year it may be hoped that the exceptions 
will be fewer still. Since, however, to save space, more concise 
forms of citation than are common have here been used, an 
alphabetical List of the abbreviations, showing also the full 
title, has been introduced, the advantage of which to readers 
will be obvious. Another novel feature of the present volume 
is an Index to the Genera and Subgenera recorded as new; and 
the utility of this addition will, I think, be generally admitted. 
In conclusion, I have to acknowledge the liberality of the Zoo­
logical Society of London, which, by its Council, has placed at 
the disposal of the ZOOLOGICAL R E C O R D ASSOCIATION one year's

and it is with peculiar pleasure that I have to mention another 
grant of J100 from the British Association for the Advance­
ment of Science towards the expenses of the volume for 1871. 
I must also record the great personal obligation I a m under to 
m y friend Mr. G E O R G E R O B E R T C R O T C H , late Assistant-Libra­
rian to the University of Cambridge, who has rendered this 
volume very important assistance by acting as Sub-Editor, and 
to that end most kindly postponed a contempla. d voyage round 
the world.

North America. Mr. R. B R O W N read a paper on " The 
Mammalian Fauna of North-west America" at the meeting of 
the British Association for the Advancement of Science, in 
1869. H e divides the country to the west of the Rocky 
Mountains, north of California, into several regions, for which 
we refer the student to the abstract published in the Reports of 
the Association, 1870, pp. 109-111. 
Nora Scotia. Dr. GILPIN continues his observations on the 
Mammalian Fauna. Proc. & Trans. N . Scot. Inst. Nat. Sc. ii. 
3, 1870, pp. 8-18. This part treats of Ursus americanus,

China. Mr. S W I N H O E has some entertaining and instructive 
" Zoological notes of a journey from Canton to Peking and 
Kalgau," P. Z. S. 1870, pp. 427-151. The paper abounds in 
ornithological observations, but several Mammals are also men­
tioned, as Ehtjthurus davidianus, Sjicrmohijus eversmanni, Lepus 
tolai, and Erinaceus dealbatus (sp. n.). 
In a second paper the same author gives a " Catalogue of the 
Mammals of China (south of the river Yangtsze) and of the 
Island of Formosa," ibid. pp. 615-653. The number of species 
amounts to 82, and copious notes on most of them are given. 
Hainan. Mr. S W I N H O E enumerates, and makes notes on, 21 
species of mammals from this island, P. Z. S. 1870, pp. 224-
239, besides the Deer, of which he treated in a previous paper 
(see Zool. Rec. vi. p. 22), and some others not observed by 
himself, but mentioned in a Chinese work. 
GENERAL NOTES AND FAUNAE. 3 
Eastern Thibet. A. MILNE-EDWARDS notices several new 
Mammals, viz. two Monkeys, three Insectivores, a new genus of 
Bears, and a Pteromys. Compt. Rend. 1870, lxx. pp. 341-342. 
Egypt. " Animaux domestiques par les anciens Egyptiens,"

expedition in 1867-68, has published his ' Observations on the 
Geology and Zoology of Abyssinia/ London: 1870, 8vo, 
pp. 487, plates. The work is divided into three parts :— 
1. Personal Narrative, pp. 1-139. 2. Geology, pp. 143-203. 
3. Zoology, pp. 207-477. In the introduction to the last part 
he reviews the previous literature on the subject, and divides 
the country hypsometrically into four regions, adding lists of 
the animals with indication of the altitudes at which he has 
observed them. In the account of the Mammalia (pp. 222-284) 
37 species are referred to, the more important of which will be 
mentioned subsequently. 
Prof. PETERS gives a list of 14 Mammals collected by Dr. 
Schimper in Abyssinia, with some notes on their habits and 
distribution. SB. nat. Fr. Berl. (1869) 1870, pp. 7-8. 
West Africa. Prof. PETERS enumerates 14 Bats and 12

Spanish expedition to explore the natural productions and phy­
sical conditions of South America, has published in a separate 
form (from the 'Boletin revista de la Universidad de Madrid''), 
"Algunos datos nuevos 6 curiosos acerca de la Fauna del alto 
Amazonas (Mamiferos)," Madrid : 1870, 8vo, pp. 27. In this 
pamphlet he makes some general remarks on the objects of the 
expedition, describes two new Monkeys, and treats of the sucking-
cups on the wings of Thyroptera. 
New Zealand. A "List of the bones of Seals and Whales 
in the Colonial Museum, Wellington, New Zealand," drawn up 
by Dr. JAMES HECTOR, is published, with notes, by Dr. GRAY, in 
Ann. & Mag. N. H. 1870, v. pp. 220-224. It refers to two 
Seals and five Cetaceans.

4 MAMMALIA. 
This work contains the substance of a course of lectures de­
livered in 1870 by the author as Hunterian Professor at the 
Royal College of Surgeons of England, and forms a student's 
hand-book. In carrying out his plan the author has been most 
successful, the materials being worked out in a uniformly con­
scientious manner, so that the beginner has no difficulty in be­
coming acquainted with the principal facts, without being com­
pelled to select them from a mass of details which are better re­
served for a future course of study. Yet we should give an erro­
neous impression of this work by representing that it contains 
nothing but elementary matter. Beside being a most useful 
guide to the elements of Mammaban Osteology, it treats of the 
modifications of structure of all the more important types, and 
will be consulted with advantage by the advanced student. A 
useful index is appended.

This work contains diagnoses and the synonymy of the species 
which are in the British-Museum collection, or which the author 
knows from autopsy. References are also given to all the re­
maining species described from other collections; and therefore 
the work must be consulted by all students of these groups. 
Synoptical tables facilitate much the determination of individual 
specimens. The woodcuts are reproduced from the Proc. Zool.

keln der Aflen und des Menschen. Abh. Bayr. Ak. Wiss. x. 
1870, pp. 199-297, 5 plates. 
This memoir contains (1) an account of the general anatomy 
of Hylobates leuciscus, and (2) a detailed description of its myo­
logy, which is compared with that of M a n and several Monkeys. 
In a synoptical table all the characteristics of the several mus­
cles in the Gorilla, Orang, Chimpanzee, Hylobates, Mandrill, 
Cercopithecus, Macacus, Pithecia, and Hapale are placed side 
by side, and their relations to those of the corresponding muscles 
in M a n shown. The views regarding the differences between hand 
and foot are critically examined. The author comes to the con­
clusion that the statement that the anthropoid Apes are more 
nearly allied to M a n with regard to their muscles than to 
Monkeys of lower degree, is not correct. H e confirms the 
correctness of the view expressed by Luca that the posterior 
hand of Apes osteologically resembles the human hand much 
QUADRUMANA. 7 
more than the foot of Man or of any other mammal, and he 
therefore regards the order Quadrumana as a perfectly natural 
division.

Thyroptera. Jimenez de la Espada (see above, p. 3) relates his observa­
tions of these Bats in detail. The sucking-cups consist of a coriaceous disk; 
they are little hemispheres, hoUow, flexible, and extremely movable, on 
the first phalanges of the thumbs of the wings and near the heels on the 
soles of the feet. They were used by the animal to fasten itself to the fingers, 
as it tried to bite, producing the same feeling as a key or thimble when ap­
plied to the tongue after sucking out the air. These cups are deep, mem­
branaceous on the edge, fleshy in the centre, those on the wings larger than 
those on the feet. The muscular arrangement is such as to allow the animal 
to vary the diameter of the organ; and by their means the animals attached 
themselves to the sides of the box in which they were kept, although when 
Sleeping they suspended themselves by the claws like other Bats.

Phacochcerus. Dr. Gray states that the animal figured by Mr. Sclater in 
P. Z. S. 1869, pi. 20, and p. 277, fig. 2, is only the usual form of the female 
of the African Wart-hog, that it is certainly not P. aliani (Riippell), and 
that, if it be a distinct species, it may be named P. sclateri. Ann. & Mag. 
1870, vi: p. 190.—In a subsequent note he expresses his doubts whether the 
animal is a species of Phacochcerus, and not rather of Sus, ibid. p. 263.—Mr. 
Sclater, in reply, states that Dr. Gray's remarks have not induced him to 
change his opinion regarding the distinctness of the two species, and the 
correct determination of the specimen figured, ibid. p. 404.—Reply by Dr.

Although the object of this memoir is the determination and 
description of extinct species, it is of no less importance to the 
zoologist than to the palaeontologist. In fact, the author bases 
his researches entirely on a previous comparative account of the

various contributions to this part of Cetological literature, pro­
testing against the tendency of establishing genera where 
scarcely specific distinctness is indicated. Of living species, 
skulls of Ziphius indicus, Z. layardi, Z. arnouxii, Z. micropterus, 
Z. sowerbii, and Z. densirostris are figured.

those European species whose eastern range terminates at the 
Ural, and designating the Siberian species which extend to those 
mountains and their western slopes. As a curious circumstance, 
we may remark that he speaks of Parus pendulinus (p. 193) as 
occurring in the- forest-region together with Parus cyanus. 
Among the species enumerated as occurring in the Central Ural 
(p. 195) are many of great rarity so far westward, as, for instance, 
Lusciola calliope, Sylvia cyanura, and Regulus proregulus. Space 
will not permit us to give a more extensive notice of this valuable 
contribution to the avifauna of the eastern frontier of Europe,

H e subsequently visited the Bogos Country in company with 
Mr. William Jesse, and on each journey collected such birds as 
he could. The ornithological portion of this work is considerable 
(pp. 285—443), 293 species being noticed, some of which are 
figured for the first time (see Hirundinidae, Sylviidee, Alaudidce, 
and Fringillidos). [Cf. Ibis, 1870, pp. 504, 505.]

pp. 897. 
This is the most important ornithological work of the year, 
and gives a very complete account of the birds of Eastern 
Africa. The knowledge of African ornithology possessed by one 
author, with the industry of the other, have combined, as might 
have been expected, to produce a volume which, so far as ma­
terials exist, exhausts the subject; and it would be impossible 
within any reasonable space to give an abstract of this work, a 
task the less necessary since the book must be possessed and con-v 
stantly studied by every student of African ornithology. W e can­
not help regretting certain changes in nomenclature introduced 
by the authors, proceeding, we think, from a mistaken principle; 
but as these have been strongly censured elsewhere (Ibis, 1870, 
pp. 512, 513) and criticism is out of place in this ' Record,' we 
are glad to let them pass. They form, indeed, the only fault 
we have to find with an otherwise excellent book. The syno­
nymy and geographical distribution of each species is worked 
out with extraordinary care; and the account of the Grallce men­
tioned has been written with a completeness unequalled in any 
publication with which we are acquainted. The volume opens 
with an elaborate introduction (pp. 1-27), to which succeeds a 
notice of each species in detail (pp. 31-851), followed by a sup­
plement and appendix containing information acquired during 
the progress of the work, which is illustrated by eleven plates 
representing new or unfigured species, and is completed by an 
excellent index. The number of species included is 457, of 
which, according to the authors' classification, 44 belong to 
Accipitres, 222 to Passeres, 23 to Scansores, 12 to Columbce, 19 to 
28 AYES.

Mr. Jesse was zoologist to the Abyssinian Expedition, but 
was unable to follow the army into the interior. However, he 
joined Mr. Blanford (as above mentioned) in an excursion to 
the Bogos Country, where he formed the collection of which Dr. 
Finsch treats. It contained 221 species, two of which (belong­
ing to Laniidce and Alaudidee) are described as new. In 
an appendix Mr. Jesse's 'Report,' noticed last year (Zool. 
Rec. vi. p. 40), is reprinted, and a second appendix contains some 
supplementary remarks, and gives a list of the species (101) 
obtained by Mr. Blanford, but not by Mr. Jesse.

Four parts of this work appeared during the year and equal 
in merit those already noticed (Zool. Rec. vi. p. 40). The 
synonymy is carefully treated, and the excellent Latin diagnoses 
are worthy of all praise. The plates are fairly executed, and it 
is a pity that they are not published with the letterpress to 
which they refer.

length, occasion being taken to correct some errors in Leotaud's 
work (Zool. Rec. iii. p. 63). Synonymy receives careful atten­

A n attempt to arrange this group, the species of which had been much 
confounded. Of the eight species determined three are described as new, 
namely :— 
P. gouldi, from Manilla, P. burmanica, from Burmah, and P. fioresiana, 
from Flores, all allied to P. leucocephala; but the first is green instead of blue, 
the second has a light grey cap, and the head of the third has a greenish 
lustre. The Javan P. capensis (L.) receives a new name, Pfraseri; and the 
Malacca race of P. gurial is distinguished as P. malaccensis.

A very complete monograph of the family. After some introductory re­
marks and a history of the group, showing how the knowledge of it has 
gradually extended, there follows a diagnostic synopsis of the 52 species (one 
of which is new) arranged in three subfamilies—Cracince (with four genera), 
Pene/opiiice (with seven genera, one of which is new), and Oreophasince (with 
one genus), some remarkable identifications of species hitherto regarded as 
distinct being made. A n account of the geographical distribution of the 
family, compendiously shown in a table, ends this excellent paper. 
Stegnolcema is the new genus just mentioned, resembling Penelope, but with 
a bare space on the lower part of the throat only. The type is Ortalidu

1869, pp. 193-218. 
The object of this paper is more restricted than would appear from its 
title, and is to prove that the Natatores form one of three primary divisions, 
or " subclasses " of birds, or at least of Carinate birds. After reviewing the 
various classifications of the group which have been proposed by different 
systematists, the author comes to a conclusion very similar to that of Prof. 
Lilljeborg (Zool. Rec. iii. p. 46), and separates the "subclass" into four 
"orders":—(1) Pygopodes including the Spheniscidce, Alcidce, Colymbidce 
and Podicipidce; (2) Longipennes comprising Procellariidce and Laridce; 
(3) Steganopodes divided into six " families," Sulidce, Pelecanidce, Phalacro-
coracidce, Plotidce, Tachypetidce and Phaetontidce; and (4) Lamellirostres 
consisting of Anatidce. The Phcenicopteridce are referred to the " subclass " 
Cursores, and the Heliornithidce regarded as allied to Fulica. The whole 
paper furnishes additional proof of the author's ability, already well displayed 
in his previous treatises, some of which have been before noticed in this 
annual (Zool. Rec. i. p. 95, iii. p. 113, v. p. Ill), and contains many facts 
not previously brought together; but it may be questioned whether his views 
will meet with very general acceptance. (Cf. A m . Nat. iv. pp. 746-752.)

GE N E R A L N O T E S AND FAUNJE. 
IN reply to Prof. Huxley's paper on the homologies of the audi­
tory ossicles (see Zool. Record, vi. p. 108), Prof. PETERS has re­
examined the auditory ossicles and the pneumatic duct of the 
mandible in Crocodiles. The latter forms a direct communica­
tion between the articulary and tympanic cavity. M B . Ak. Berl. 
1870, pp. 15-22, pis. 1,2. 
Sardinia. A. CARUCCIO gives a list of 17 Reptiles and 5 
Batrachians inhabiting this island. Att. Soc. Ital. Sc nat. xii. 
1870, pp. 565-567. 
Abyssinia. Mr. BLANFORD's work, ' Observations on the 
Zoology and Geology of Abyssinia/ has been noticed above 
(p. 3). In the part " Reptilia " (pp. 444-459) two Tortoises, 
13 Lizards, 7 Snakes, and 5 Frogs are referred to. Several of 
the Lizards are described as new. 
Senegambia. Dr. STEINDACHNER gives an account of the 
Reptiles collected by him in this country. SB. Ak. "Wien, 1870, 
lxii. pp. 326-335. Twenty-seven species. 
South Africa. PETERS reports on a collection made at 
Hantam (Oorlogsrevier, S.W. Africa). M B . Ak. Berlin, 
1870, pp. 110-115. Sixteen Lizards, eight Snakes, and two 
Frogs. 
Round Island. Sir H. BARELY, whilst Governor of the Mau­
ritius, took steps for the thorough examination of this re­
markable islet. He has given a report in a pamphlet, ' Notes on 
the Flora and Fauna of Round Island/ taken from the 'Mauritius 
Almanac and Register' for 1870. Mauritius, 1870, 8vo, pp. 15. 
It contains a description of the physical features of the island, 
and of the collections made by the exploring parties. [The Rep­
tiles were sent to the Recorder for examination, and proved to 
consist of fine series of Thyrus boyerii (Desj.), Leiolepisma bellii

India. The Recorder has particular pleasure in referring to 
several publications on Indian Herpetology which appeared m 
the course of last year. Zoologists resident m the country have 
begun to pay attention to this branch; and although the deter­
mination of the species appears to be still attended with diffi­
culty, owing to the want of a good central collection of well-
authenticated specimens, the accounts and descriptions have 
become much more precise and trustworthy. Of course many 
additions to the synonymy continue to be made; but this disad­
vantage is fully counterbalanced by the supplementary informa­
tion we receive with regard to species previously known. 
1. E. N I C O L S O N : ' Indian Snakes : an elementary treatise on 
Ophiology, with a descriptive Catalogue of the Snakes found in 
India and the adjoining countries/ Madras, 1870, 8vo, pp. 118. 
This little book is useful for the purpose for which it is published, 
namely, to furnish residents in India with an introduction to the 
study of Snakes. 
2. The Reptiles in the Museum of the Asiatic Society of Bengal 
have been examined by Mr. W T H E O B A L D ; and a catalogue of 
them is published as an extra number of the Journal of the 
Asiatic Society' for 1868 (it reached England in 1870). Some 
twenty species are described as new; but the majority of those of 
them which since have been critically examined by others have 
proved to be known and even common species. This catalogue 
is not without inaccuracies, but ought to be consulted by all 
those who require information on species imperfectly described 
by Blyth. Unfortunately not a few of the typical specimens 
appear to have been lost. 
3: Capt. B E D D O M E continues, as we hear, his herpetological 
studies; but no publication of his appears to have reached this 
country. 
4. Mr. T. C. J E R D O N has published "Notes on Indian Herpeto­
logy" in Proc. As. Soc. Beng. 1870, pp. 66-85. These notes 
are preliminary to a general work on Indian Reptiles which the 
author is preparing for the press ; and as he intends to compare 
for this object his specimens with those in the British Museum, 
we refer in the special part of this Record only to certain more 
important results of his observations. 
5. Dr. F. STOLICZKA'S "Observations on some Indian and Ma­
layan Amphibia and Reptilia/' in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 1870, 
pp. 134-228, pis. 9-12, and Proc. As. Soc. Beng. 1870, pp. 272-
275, are evidently the result of careful study. H e gives a list of 
29 species from the Andaman and of as many from the Nicobar 
Islands. Eighty-four other Reptiles and Amphibians from 
various localities are noticed and described in this paper. 
6. Finally, Mr. W . T. B L A N F O R D gives "Notes on some Reptilia 
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY. 67 
and Amphibia from Central India," in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 
1870, pp. 335-376, with 3 plates. In introductory remarks he 
objects to views expressed by the Recorder with regard to the 
distribution of Reptilian types over Peninsular India, and pro­
poses a division more in accordance with his own studies of land-
shells, birds, and mammals. The Recorder may reply that he 
was fully conscious of the imperfect state of information as re­
gards details necessary to subdivide this part of the Indian 
Region into provinces with definite boundaries, that he, there­
fore, cautiously abstained from proposing such a division, and 
that the distribution of Reptilian life in this region, as sketched 
out by him, is simply a short representation of facts, very few of 
which have proved to be erroneous. If Mr. Blanford has suc­
ceeded in indicating the subdivisions of the western part of the 
Indian continent, the Recorder will recognize them with plea­
sure ; but the evidence gathered from this class of animals and 
brought forward by Mr. Blanford at present, in support of his 
views, is quite inadequate for the purpose. That "in such 
matters local knowledge is essential" the Recorder can hardly 
believe, since the main facts of the geographical distribution of 
animals have been elucidated by men who have seen but a smaU 
portion of the globe. A n acquaintance with the physical features 
of a region is necessary, but may be more readily obtained from 
the works of travellers who have made physical geography their 
study than by travelling through some parts of the country. 
Mr. Blanford, then, divides Peninsular India, with Ceylon, 
into the following provinces : — 1 . Punjab ; 2. Indian Province 
proper, with a. Gangetic subprovince or Hindustan, b. Deccan, 
c. Bengal, d. Madras, with Northern Ceylon; 3. Eastern-Ben­
gal province; 4. Malabar, with Southern Ceylon. 
Island of Hainan. Mr. S W I N H O E enumerates and makes notes 
on 9 Reptiles and 3 Batrachians from this island. P. Z. S. 1870,

The ' Catalogue of Shield-Reptiles' (Tortoises), published in 
1855, contained diagnoses of 167 species, a number increased to 
233 in the present supplement. In publishing this supplement, 
the author's object was not only to embody in it accounts of the 
species added to the catalogue within the last fifteen years, but 
also to collect the numerous observations made by him on 
craniological peculiarities which have led to the subdivision of 
many groups formerly regarded as generic. As the greater part of 
these observations have been published by the author previously, 
we may refer to our abstracts in Zool. Record, vi. pp. 109, 110, 
ii. pp. 147,148, &c. Further additions, not previously published, 
will be mentioned below. 
Testudo. Dr. Gray distinguishes 11 species of the group Peltastes, which 
he characterizes, adding a part of the synonymy, P. Z. S. 1870, pp. 653-658. 
H e separates specifically Testudo platynotus (Blyth) from T. elegans (p. 655), 
and figures the shell on pi. 33.—Testudo horsfieldii is the type of a distinct 
genus, Testudinella, p. 658. See also Suppl. Catal. pp. 8 et seqq.

Zeitschr. ges. Ntrw. 1870, xxxv. p. 542. 
Mr. Theobald states that Testudo phayrei (Blyth) is really a Testudo, and 
not a Manouria; he believes that Testudo (Scapia) faleoneri (Gray) is 
identical with T. phayrei, and asserts that the skull on which T. faleoneri is 
founded belongs even to one of the type specimens of T. phayrei. P. Z. S. 
1870, p. 674. [The evidence taken from the skull contradicts Mr. Theobald's 
assertion.]

Dermatemys. Dr. Gray has reexamined the species of this genus, which he 
raises to the rank of a family, Dermatemyidee. H e distinguishes two genera: 
Dermatemys with D. mawii and D. salvinii, and Chloremys (g. n.) with D. ab-

to Prof. Peters the copulatory organs in a less than half-grown example of 
Amblyrhynchus, and has found them also since in a young Oreocephalus. In 
the adult they must be quite as large as in Iguana. Indeed it would have 
been a matter of surprise if these organs had been absent in the Galapagos 
Lizards, which are truly Iguanoid genera, and most closely allied to Iguana.]

In this carefully prepared memoir the author reviews critically 
the systematic divisions proposed by Herpetologists. H e consi­
ders those introduced by Merrem and Gray to be the most natural; 
whilst Mr. Cope's most recent attempts at classification have led 
to most artificial divisions, or, as in the Salamandridce, have left 
the system as previously established by Gray and Hallowell. H e 
admits two families of the Batrachia gradientia, Viz. Ichthyoida 
and Salamandrida. Only the latter family is the subject of the 
present memoir. The author divides it into two Tribes, viz. 
Mecodonta ( = Salmandridee, Gray) and Lechriodonta { = Mol-
gidce-\-Plethodontidee, Gray). H e admits 19 genera, with 84 
species. The genera are characterized; but only the minority 
80 REPTILIA. 
of the species could be worked out critically, the author s mate­
rials being insufficient for that purpose. However, his list of 
species may be considered to be complete to the year 1867 
(incl.). The memoir is concluded with a sketch of the geogra­
phical distribution of these Amphibians. They appear to indi­
cate the following divisions :— 
I. Eastern Hemisphere, with 28 species. 
A. Circummediterranean District, with 19 species. 
1. European Province, with 15 species. 
2. African Province, with 3 species. 
3. Asiatic Province, with 5 species. 
B. Asiatic District, with 9 species. 
1. Western Siberia, with 1 species. 
2. Eastern Siberia, with 2 species. 
3. Japan, China, Siam, with 6 species. 
n. Western Hemisphere, with 57 species. 
A. Pacific District, with 25 species. 
1. Northern Province, with 15 species. 
2. Southern Province (from Mexico southwards), with 10 species. 
B. Atlantic District, with 32 species. 
1. Province West of Mississippi, with 13 species. 
2. Province East of Mississippi, with 28 species. 
With regard to the distribution of the genera, nine are peculiar 
to the Eastern, seven to the Western Hemisphere, whilst three 
are common to both.

GUNTHER, A. Catalogue of the Fishes in the British Museum. 
London, 1870, 8vo, vol. viii. pp. 549. 
This work is concluded with the present volume, which con­
tains the Gymnotidce, Symbranchidce, Mureenidee, Pegasidee, 
Lophobranchii, Plectognathi, Dipnoi, Ganoidei, Chondropterygii, 
Cyclostomata, and Leptocardii. 
The advancement of ichthyology since the publication of the 
first volume, in ] 859, has been so rapid, and the additions made 
to the British-Museum collection are so numerous, that it will 
be necessary to issue a supplementary volume, or to republish 
the earlier volumes of the work.

generale. Tome II. Ganoides, Dipnes, Lophobranches. 
Paris, 1870, 8vo (pp. 624, with an Atlas in 8vo, containing 
12 plates). 
The scope and object of this work, of which the first volume 
appeared in 1865, has been described in Zool. Rec. ii. p. 163. 
The author gives a detailed account of the literature and ana­
tomy of the Ganoid and Dipnoous Fishes, chiefly from the 
works of preceding anatomists. The anatomy of the Lopho-
branchs is not further worked out; and the Pegasidee are still 
included in that order. In some of the groups, especially North-
American genera, minute specific division is carried even beyond 
the point reached in recent publications of Blanchard and 
Guichenot; and it will require much labour on the part of 
coming ichthyologists to sift " good " species out of the mob of 
names given to individual museum-specimens. Some portions 
(as, for instance, part of the account of the Sturgeons) were 
published by the author in previous years; and other parts of 
the M S . (like that referring to the air-bladder of Ganoids) were 
reprinted by him in some provincial periodicals, to which, there­
fore, no further reference is required.

of "The Fishes of the Nile/'vol. ii. pp. 195-268, with three

literature on the subject, and shows that out of 55 species found 
in the Upper Nile not less than 24 are identical with West 
African species (see Zool. Record, iv. p. 156). The total number 
of fishes from the Upper and Lower Nile known at present is

publish the results of ichthyological researches made during a 
sojourn of four years on the Red Sea. H e gives excellent de­
scriptions of all the species inhabiting the Red Sea; and his 
determinations and corrections of the synonymy are all the more 
reliable as he has examined most of the typical specimens in 
Continental collections. The results of conscientious and care­
ful work, like that of Dr. Klunzinger, consist less in adding a 
number of ephemeral species to the systematic list, than in a 
more accurate definition of the characters of known species and 
genera. In the present paper the author carries his subject 
down to the Atherines; and we hope that he will soon continue 
this most valuable contribution.

the generic identity. Gunther, Fish. viii. p. 323.

Verh. z.-b. Ges. Wien, 1870, pp. 750-756. Lethrinus xanthochilus is a new 
species, p.-753. H e is quite right in stating that L. mahsenoides (C. & V.) is 
not the fish described under the same name by Bleeker, but is L. abbreviatus 
of Peters. The Recorder considers L. rostratus (C. & V.) and L. longirostris 
to be very distinct species.

SALMONIDTE. 
Dr. M U R I E has published a paper entitled " Additional Me­
moranda as to Irregularity in the Growth of Salmon" (Proc. 
Zool. Soc. 1870, pp. 30-50) ; it is a continuation of a similar 
communication in 1868 (see Zool. Record, v. p. 166). The ob­
servations are again based on examples which were artificially 
impregnated and passed through the hands of pisciculturists; 
they are figured on pi. 2. The author thinks that the migratory 
species can be retained in fresh water, but not without arrest of 
development. [Dr. Murie has taken great pains in comparing 
his examples with descriptions of other Salmonidae; but detailed 
descriptions contain of necessity many details characteristic of 
the individual but not of the species. O n the other hand, he 
does not notice that unmistakable character of S. solar, viz. the 
number of scales between the adipose fin and the lateral line.]

Introduction of Salmon (S. salar) and other Salmonidee to the

MURJENIDJE. 
Dr. G U N T H E R has treated of the fishes of this family in vol. viii. 
of the Catalogue of Fishes. With regard to the distinction of 
species and genera, synonymy and arrangement, he differs con­
siderably from Dr. Kaup. The following is the arrangement

bennettii, from the Mauritius, p. 135. 
26. Enchelycore (Kaup), with 2 species. 
In an appendix to this family the author treats of the Lepto-
cephaiidee. He distinguishes between really Leptocephaline forms 
and such as have been very improperly referred to the same 
group. He is inclined to regard the former as the offspring 
of Muraenoids, but as individuals arrested in their development 
at a very early period of their life, yet continuing to grow to a 
certain size without corresponding development of their external 
organs, and perishing without having attained the characters of 
the perfect animal. To this form belong all the various Lepto-
cephali and Hyoprorus. Tilurus is a similar form arrested in its 
development, but cannot be the offspring of a Mursenoid fish. 
Stomiasunculus (Kaup) is the young of Stomias, Porobronchus 
(Kaup) the young of Fierasfer acus, and Esunculus (Kaup) proba­
bly that of Alepocephalus. 
Ophichthys serpens is described and figured as Ophisurus novce zelandice

them with the Cataphracti. Gunther, Fish. viii. p. 146.

PLECTOGNATHI. 
In the arrangement of this order Dr. GUNTHER has adopted 
only a few of the genera proposed by more recent ichthyologists, 
so that it need not be given here; he admits 3 genera of Tria-

Of Oonchological Journals for 1870 a complete volume has appeared of the 
Maiakozoologische Blatter, Nachrichtsblatt der dcutschen Malakozoologischcu 
Gesellschaft, and Biilletino malaeologico Italiana. Only the first three parts 
of the American Journal of Conchology, the first two of the Journal de Con-
chyliologie, and the first three of the Annales de Malacologie. The volume of 
the Annates de la Societe Malacologique de Belgique for 1870 has not appeared 
up to the present time (30th June, 1871) ; but the volumes for 1868 and 1869, 
which were not fully noticed in former ' Records,' are now included. 
THE GENERAL SUBJECT. 
Anatomy and Morphology. 
The starting-point of LACAZE-DUTHIERS'S researches on the 
morphology of Mollusca {I. c.) is the development of Ancylus. 
He distinguishes three principal parts of the body, viz. the head, 
the foot, and the visceral sac, which is enveloped by the mantle. 
There are four principal ganglia, viz. the stomato-gastric, the 
cerebroid, the pedal, and a fourth group composed of five 
ganglia, which he calls branchio-cardio-pallio-genital, or, for 
brevity's sake, the median or inferior centre of the nervous 
system. Each fold of the common integument, which receives 
nerves from this centre, is to be termed mantle—for example 
the shield of Limax and Arion, but not the lateral lobes of 
Aplysia, which belong really to the foot (C. R. 1869, p. 1341; 
Ann. N. II. v. p. 383).—The asymmetry of the Gastropods 
extends only to the fourth of the aforesaid groups and to the parts 
influenced by it; and the author endeavours to explain the diffe­
rent situation of the subordinate ganglia belonging to this centre 
in various orders by supposing a torsion of the whole system in 
the Pectinibranchiata and in Cyclostoma. In similar manner, 
also, the normal position of the gill is on the right; but in the 
Pectinibranchiata a part of the mantle which should be typically 
on the right is thus transported to the left, and with it the gill. 
The Lamellibranchiata are morphologically the most simple and 
therefore most easy to be understood among the Mollusks; 
Anodunta is taken as an example. The upper or buccal adductor 
muscle is in all Bivalves above the mouth; the anal orifice in 
all behind and below the inferior or anal adductor; the visceral 
mass with the foot is in all Bivalves separated by the mouth 
from the anterior adductor, and situated between the mouth 
and the posterior adductor. This suflices to prove that in the 
Monomyariu the anal muscle is present (as was long ago urged 
THE GENERAL SUBJECT. 119 
by Cuvier and Oken), but the buccal has disappeared and is not 
united with the other. The author assumes the mouth to be 
situated upwards and the hinge backwards, which is at variance 
with the real situation of most Bivalves and with modern usage. 
C. R. 1870, pp. 43^16, 102-105. 
The observations of T R O S C H E L , Q U O Y , and especially P A N C E R I , on the 
secretion of free sulphuric acid in the salivary glands of some Gastropods 
belonging to the families Cassididee, Ranellidce, and Pleurobranchidce (cf. Zool. 
Rec. vi. p. 515), are recapitulated in A m . J. Sc. (2) xix. pp. 420-422. 
The anatomical researches of W . H. D A L L concerning Patella, Siphonaria, 
Gadina, and Pomphoh/x, of C. S E M P E B concerning Nanina and allied genera, 
and of R. B E R G H concerning Triboniophorus aniPhilomycus will be mentioned 
in the special part. 
C. S E M P E R , insists that the usual term epidermis for the outer coat of many 
shells is wrong, as it is not formed by cells, and proposes the term cuticula 
for it. Reis. Arch. Philipp. iii. p. 6. 
Monstrosities. 
Albino or hyaline varieties of various species are noticed. Albinos of 
Helix grisea, L., = cincta, Miill., observed by Dr. Martinati to produce 
normal offspring. E. de Betta, Moll prov. Veron. pp. 60,.61.—Albino of 
Limncea auricularia (L.), E. v. d. Broeck, Ann. mal. Belg. iv. 1869, p. 90. 
Roffiaen has unsuccessfully tried to produce artificially scalaroid varieties 
by applying gypsum to the aperture of living species of Helix during their 
growth. Ann. mal. Belg. iii. (1868) pp. Ixxxii-lxxxiv. 
Subscalaroid specimens of Clausilia nigricans are noticed by E. v. d. Broeck, 
Ann. mal. Belg. iv. 1869, p. 81.—Sinistral specimen of Planorbis complanatus 
(L.) [marginatus], the keel being likewise at the under angle, observed 
by the same, I. c. p. 83, pi. 2. fig. 1. 
Lanistes ovum, Peters, with a pale yellow band, beginning at the trace* of a 
former fracture, and becoming more and more indistinct in the progress of 
growth. Martens, Nachr. mal. Ges. ii. p. 125. 
Nassa reticulata, Natica monilifera and nitida are sometimes irregularly 
prolonged at their aperture by a colony of Hydractinice occupying their sur­
face, while their cavity is tenanted by Pagurus bernhardus. Colbeau, Ann. 
mal. Belg. iii. p. lxi. [Such shells are very common on the shores of Holland 
and Sleswick. Buccinum undatum is sometimes similarly deformed.] 
GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION. 
a. LAND AND FRESHWATER MOLLUSCA. 
1. Northern and Central Europe. 
Great Britain. Helix personata, Lam., new to the United Kingdom, 
occurs in Ireland. Jeffreys, Ann. N. H. (4) vi. p. 423. 
A list of (25) land and (12) freshwater shells observed in the Isle of Wight 
in the summer of 1869 is published by Leconte, Ann. mal Belg. iv. (18£9) 
pp. lxi-lxvi; the most remarkable is Helix acuta (Miill). 
Germany. C. KREGLINGER (/. c.) gives a very complete list of 
books and papers bearing on the subject, and enumerates the 
120 MOLLUSCA. 
species systematically, with full citations and indication of loca­
lities. The occurrence in alluvial and diluvial deposits in Ger­
many is also indicated. 48 genera and 347 species of land and 
freshwater Mollusca are enumerated. This book, worked out 
with great care and zeal, will prove very useful to every one 
who is interested in the geographical distribution and literature 
of the European extramarine Mollusca. [A few remarks by the 
Recorder will be found in the Nachr. mal. Ges. ii. pp. 99-102 
and 110-117.1 
E. vox M A R T E N S has continued his arrangement of the litera­
ture bearing on the distribution of the German Mollusca (Zool. 
Rec. v. p. 521), treating of the middle and northern parts of 
Germany beyond the system of the Rhine. Nachr. mal. Ges. 
ii. pp. 3, 17, 33, 65, 12i, 137, 153. 
E. v. M A R T E N S calls the attention of the German conchologists to the 
geographical distribution of certain land-sheUs. Cyclostoma elegans (Miill.) 
is found along the Rhine and in some parts of the system of the Weser, and 
even along the little river Unstrut; but is wanting to the east and south­
east of this region, except in a little area on the slope of the Austrian Alps 
towards Hungary. This species is very often accompanied by Helix caHu-
siaua, Miill, the distribution of which, however, is somewhat more re­
stricted in the western and more extended in the south-eastern district. 
Helix bidens (Chemn.), on the other hand, is common throughout Germany 
eastward of a line going from Hamburg to Augsburg; westward of this line 
it is found in diluvial deposits only, and is wanting in the greater part of the 
Alps. It is suggested that agriculture acts in a directly opposite manner on 
these two species. Azeca menkeana (0. Pfr.) occurs in Germany, with the 
latter, in the central parts of the systems of the Rhine and the Weser, but is 
quite absent in Southern Europe. Nachr. mal. Ges. ii. pp. 157-160,169-172, 
and SB. nat. Fr. 1870, pp. 57-59. 
Couvland. 55 species of land and 52 of freshwater mollusca are enume­
rated by F. H. K A W A L L , Ann. mal. Belg. iv. (1869) pp. lxviii-lxxv. 
Pomcvania. L E H M A N N enumerates 115 species of land and freshwater 
mollusca living in this province ; among the more remarkable are H. vindo-
boncnsis (austriaca), acclimatized by II. Dohrn, Helix lamellata, bidens, incar-

. Belgium. O O L B E A U (Ann. mal. Belg. vol. iii. 1868, pp. 85-111) enume­
rates 103 land and 74 freshwater species from Belgium (besides 7 sub­
marine species as Alexia, Otina, and Assiminea); a few new species and 
some varieties are represented on three plates; the names of them will 
be mentioned in the special part.—Numerous particulars referring to malaco-
logical excursions and observations on various species by M M . Weyers, 
Colbeau, Stacs, Malzine, Leconte, E. van den Broeck, and A. Craven will be 
found in the proceedings (Bulletin des Seances), which are printed with the 
' Annates.' W e shall only mention out of them that in the numerous and 
large ponds in the heath of La Campine, near Antwerp, no other mollusk 
can be found than Pisidium casertanum, var. lenticulare; Weyers (vol. iii. 
p. xx)-records Physa acuta (Drap.) as a new species for Belgium, having 
been found at Blankenberg by Malzine, vol. iii. p. lvii, and by E. van den 
Broeck at Brussels, vol. iv. p. xcv, and that the same has observed Bithguia 
[better Hydrobia] vitrea, var. bulimoides (Mich.), in the province of Antwerp, 
in a ditch filled with Elodea canadensis, vol. iv. p. xcv. The following 
volume, destined for 1870 but published in 1871, also contains accounts of 
malacological excursions by E. van den Broeck, and Mourlon and Purves, 
the last relating to the Belgian Ardennes. 
Silesia. G. R O H B M A N N has described a malacological excursion in the 
Silesian Mountains (Nachr. mal. Ges. ii. pp. 172-176). 0. Reinhardt has 
given a malacological monograph of the mountain Zobten; he enumerates 
47 species of land and 3 of freshwater shells found on its slopes, two of them 
only not observed by himself. The most remarkable are Helix solaria, 
Menke, Hyalina glabra (Stud.), Clausilia cruciata, Stud., CI. silesiaca, 
A. Schmidt, and Helix carpatica, Friv., the last not observed there by 
himself, none of which are found elsewhere in North Germany; so that the 
Zobten appears to be an outlying post of a Southern or Carpathian fauna.

Thuringia. D U F F T enumerates 48 species of land and 42 of freshwater mol­
lusca observed by him at Rudolstadt; among them may be mentioned:—Helix 
ericetorum, Mull, on limestone with dark bands, on sandy ground always pale; 
H. holoserica, Stud., and personata, Lam., rare; Bulimus radiatus, Brug., 
= detritus (Miill.), plentiful, but only on oolitic rocks; Clausilia biplicata 
(Mont.) and laminata (Mont.) in the proportion of 5 to 1; Clausilia ventricosa, 
only on rotten wood; C. nigricans (Pult.) only on schistaceous soil; CI. 
parvula, Stud., very common ; C.plicata, Drap., rare. Nachr. mal. Ges. ii.

Bavaria. Dr. W A L S E R notes the occurrence of various species of land 
and freshwater shells in different parts of Bavaria. Nachr. mal. Ges. ii. 
pp. 93-96. Among them may be mentioned Cnio platyvhynchus in the 
Chiemsee, a peculiar form aiLimncett in the Walchensee, and Helix candidula 
near Munich. 
Bohemia. A few additions to the malacological fauna of Carlsbad and 
Franzensbmnn (Zool. Ree. ii. p. 220) are given by LEHJIANN, Mal. Bl. 
xvii. p. 98; two of them, Pupa substriata and Clausilia cana, are not men­
tioned by Slavik. 
Galizia. The land and freshwater shells of this province, hitherto very littlo 
known, are enumerated by Dr. J. J.vcnxo (Verb. z.-b. Wien, 1870, pp. 45-
58) ; there are 94 species of land and 45 of freshwater shells. Some of these 
belong to the Carpathian centre, as Helix austriaca, pietvusl iana, cavjia/ica, 
cingulella, faustina, lutesccns. Melanopsis espevi has been found in some l'odo-
lian streams within the province, but only in a subfossil state. 
Transylvania. E. A. B I E L Z has published a list of 69 species, containing 
4S land and 21 freshwater shells, found near Klausenburg ; among them are 
twelve species peculiar to Transylvania, but not one of the so-called Baleo-
clausilice. A few more occur in the vicinity on Jura limestone—for example, 
Helix vupestris, faustina, Pupa avenacca, Clausilia biclzi. The paper is written 
in the Magyar language ; but a nearly complete German extract follows it, in 
which, however, Helix solaria, Menke, no. 14, has been omitted by inad­
vertence. 
Danube. Thirty-eight species of freshwater shells from the mouth of the 
Danube are enumerated by Bourguignat, Ann. Mal. i. pp. 37-70, among which 
are no less than i) species of Vivipava, 1 Lithoglyphus, 1 Melania, 4 Mela­
nopsis. 
France. Several French conchologists have contributed their part to a 
"Prodrome a l'liistoire malacologique de la France'," viz. J. M A D I L I . U the 
Limacidee, M A S S O T the genus TeslaceUa, P E N C U I N A T the genera Pavmuccllu 
and Daialcbavdia, and P A L A D I L I I E the 1'aludinidec. Ann. Mal. pp. 105-214.

and [Hydrobia] schmidtii (Charp.), Valvata cristata, Miill, Anodonta eellensis 
(Gmel), and Pisidium amnicum (Miill.); the absence of the larger species of 
Limncea and Paludina is highly characteristic of the mountainous region. 
A m o n g the land-shells Central-European species are mixed with others pe­
culiar to the southern slope of the Alps, for example Helix incarnata, 
fruticum, obvoluta, with cingulata, angigyra, cemula, and others. Some errors 
in the former paper of the same author are here corrected. 
Verona. E. D E B E T T A enumerates 153 species of Mollusca living in the 
Province of Verona, 92 of which are terrestrial, the rest freshwater. Many 
of these are real novelties for this fauna, as:— Vitrina brevis (Fer.), on the 
Montebaldo; Zonites hyalinus (Fer.), hydatinus (Rossm.), Helix lurida, 
Ziegl, cemula, Rossm., Bithynia ventricosa, Gray, &c. The genera and sub­
genera are carefully characterized and critical remarks appended to the species. 
The existence otMelania holandri (Fer.) within the province has not received 
confirmation, and it is probably to be cancelled. 
Venice. E. D E B E T T A comprises 138 land, 70 freshwater, and 6 submarine 
species, viz. two Auriculidee and four Hydrobice, which he wrongly calls 
Bithynia. As the province extends from the Alps to the sea, w e find 
among them species which are peculiar to the mountains, and especially to 
those of Friul and part of Carniolia, as Helix intermedia, Fer., cemula, 
Rossm., phalerata, Ziegl, lurida, Ziegl, leucozona, Ziegl., ClausUia costata, 
Ziegl, cincta (Brumati) ; others more peculiar to Lombardy, as H angigyra 
(Jan), TJnio bonelli (Fer.); and some characteristic of the seashore, as Helix 
pisana, Miill, trochoides, Poir., &c. The genus Clausilia is represented 
by 22 species, Pupa, including Vertigo, by 15, Neritina by 9 species. 1st.

in the vicinity of Rome, including the Alban hills and the valley of the Anio, 
are enumerated by G E N T I L U O M O (Bull. M a l iii. pp. 41-43). The most re­
markable are:—Zonites candidissimus (Drap.), Monte Mario, only one spe­
cimen ; Helix ligata, Miill. [gussoneana, Shuttl], Monte Sacro, Monte Mario, 
Subiaco and Frascati; Helix nemoralis, the variety in which all five bands 
are confluent, only at Subiaco, but abundant; setipila, Zeigl, Subiaco and 
Tuscolo near Frascati; strigata, Miill., Subiaco; Clausilia piceata, Ziegl.

7-8rr° X. lat., system of the White Nile, axe enumerated by the Recorder, 
Mal. Bl. xvii. pp. 32-36; among them is a new Planorbis of a rather American 
aspect. 
Abyssinia. Twenty species of land and 10 of freshwater 
shells found during the British expedition (1867-68) in Abys­
sinia are enumerated by W T. Blanford in Obs. on Abyss. 
pp. 173-477, some of them new, but these neither named nor 
sufficiently described. The more remarkable are :—a Helix allied 
to subrostrata and pisana, from the limestone tract north of 
Antalo, which is said to occur also in Persia; Bulimus olivieri, 
Pfr., the finest and commonest land-shell of Abyssinia; an Ennea, 
sp. n.; Pupa ccenopicta, Hutt., common to the East Indies and 
Senegal; the European Ancylus fluviatilis, Miill.; the widely 
spread Melania tuberculata (Miill.) : some species are common 
to Natal. The localities and elevations above the sea-level are 
carefully given. Pupa insularis, Ehrenb., and Bulimus labiosus 
(Miill.), var., arc mentioned as inhabitants of Aden. 
These results arc compared with what was otherwise known 
concerning Abyssinian shells, in a double list containing about 
•19 species, by the Recorder in Mal. Bl. xvii. pp. 82-86.

Philippines. Part of the land-shells of this archipelago are 
treated of by Prof. C A R L S E M P E R in the continuation of his work 
on the results of his travels in the Philippines. Haying ex­
plored m a n y regions where H . Cuming has not been, es­
pecially in the northern parts of the island of Luzon, he adds 
several novelties to this fauna, and, on the other hand, some of 
the localities stated in the Cumingian collections are called in 
doubt by him. H e finds a general difference between the fauna 
of Luzon and that of the southern islands, for example Min­
danao—the first being quite peculiar, the latter containing the 
same genera, or sections of genera, and even in some cases the 
same species as Borneo and Celebes.

common in the rivers [!], and a species of Clausilia to be very abundant in the 
province of Rio Janeiro [probably Bulimusjancivensis, Sow., or some other 
species of the section Odontostomus is meant]; Limax, several terrestrial 
species of which are said to live in Brazil, is placed with the bivalves near 
Pecten, being confounded with Lima.

c. MARINE FAUNA. 
The general results of the last deep-sea dredging by English, 
Scandinavian, and American naturalists are briefly recapitulated 
by A. J. MAI.MORKN, in (Efv. Fin. Soc. vol. xii. 1869, pp. 7-16 
(also in (iennnn, Z. wiss. Zool. xx. pp. 157-165), and by A. \<l.

pine/ by Dr. CARPENTER, Prof. WVVJLLE THOMSON, and Mr. 
JEUKLVS in 1869, omitted in the last volume of this Record, 
GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION. 127 
we may refer to the account given in the Proceedings of the 
Royal Society for Nov. 18; an abstract is also to be found in 
'Nature/ Nov.-Dec. 1869. The report of the expedition of 
1870 (P. R. Soc. 1870, pp. 146-220) contains the narrative 
and the hydrographical results; it appears from them that 
a number of shells known hitherto only in a fossil state have 
again been dredged in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. The 
conchological part of the report will be given by Jeffreys in 
1871. 
D A L L remarks that where the water is cooled by northern 
currents or by glaciers, deep-sea species of mollusks, especially 
Brachiopods, are found at or even above low-water mark, while 
these mollusks are only obtained at a depth of many fathoms 
where the surface is warm. P. Bost. Soc. xii. 1869. 
1. Seas of Northern Europe. 
The late Prof. M I C H . S A R S left an elaborate paper on the mollusks of the 
Christiania fjord, which has been published by his son, G. 0. S A R S ; it con­
tains 2 Cephalopods (Rossia owenii and glaueopis), 1 Pteropod (Spiralis 
fiemingii), 70 species of Gasteropods and 32 of Bivalves ; some rather arctic 
species occur among them, as Natica affinis, Gmel, Scalaria grcenlandica, 
Chemn., Philine quadrata, Wood. Several new genera are described and 
figured, concerning which some remarks made by Jeffreys on the original 
specimens are added by the editor. 
A list of 163 Norwegian marine Mollusca, dredged either in the Christiania 
fjord at Drobak or, during the expedition of the ' Porcupine,' between 47|° 
and 60° N. lat., is given by J. G w y n Jeffreys, Ann. N. H. (4) v. pp. 438-
448. Twenty-one of those found at the former locality had not previously 
been known thence. 
E. Friedel brings the number of sea-shells found on the west coast of 
Slesioick and Holstein from 65 (see Zool. Rec. v. p. 528) to 106, from his own 
observations and those of others, and gives also some additions to the mala­
cological literature of this country. Mal. Bl. xvii. pp. 71-78.—Some shells 
collected on the small island of Neuwerk, at the mouth of the Elbe, by the 
student G I L L N are mentioned, ibid. p. 78. 
A. Metzger treats the molluscan fauna of the coast of East Friesland, be­
tween the mouths of the rivers E m s and Jahde, including the islands of 
Nordemey, Wangeroog, and others; he gives first an interesting general 
account of the occurrence of animals in the different kinds of localities, the 
" Watten " (estuaries), the strand between tide marks and the "Balgen" or 
shallow "bottoms from low water-mark to 12 fathoms; then follows a systematic 
list, containing 2 Cephalopods, 18 Prosobranchiate Gasteropods, 1 Pulmonate 
(Melampus myosotis), 13 Opisthobranchiates, and 41 Bivalves found on this 
coast. JB. Ges. Hannov. 1869-70, pp. 22-30. 
Colbeau's list of Belyian Mollusca, Ann. mal. Belg. vol. iii. (1868) pp. 85-
111, contains 7 species of Cephalopods, 71 marine Gasteropods with shells, 
only 8 without, and 88 marine Bivalves. Some novelties are also mentioned, 
pp. xix, x x . — A number of shells found on the shore atOstend are mentioned 
by A. Craven and F. de Malzine, /. c. iv. (1869) pp. xcviii-ci.

cating the varieties, compiled from Jeffreys's' British Conchology,' and printed 
on one side only for labels. 
2. Mediterranean Sea. 
II. C. W E I N K A U F F has published supplementary notes to his general work 
on the shells of the Mediterranean (see Zool. Rec. iv. pp. 448 & 514). Several 
species are added, others which had been regarded doubtful are identified 
with well-known ones, and some names changed on account of priority. 
Bid! mal. Ital. iii. pp. 14-24, 33-37, 74-100, 128-139. 
The drawings of Adriatic Mollusca (1272 figures, including some Anne­
lids, Cirripeds, and numerous land and freshwater shells) left by S T E F A N O 
CHLEREGHINI, who died at Chioggia near Venice in 1820, at the Lyceum S. 
Catarina in Venice, have been determined by S. B R U S I N A ; and a rather 
verbose account of them is published by the latter in 280 pages, repeating 
all the manuscript names which have been never published before (for ex­
ample, Turbo maritimus for Chcmnitzia scalaris, Phil). It is astonishing to 
see the number of species (249) known to him; and some interest may be 
found also in the accompanying notes of the MSS., which state the localities, 
and have been printed word for word by the editor. The species which 
have not before been ascertained to live in the Adriatic are enumerated 
(pp. 34-38) ; two only have been hitherto observed on the western and not 
on the eastern side, they are Corbulomya meditevvunea (Costa) and Litorina 
saxatilis (Olivi, not Johnst.). 
The muddy grounds at Sinigaglia have been explored with an improved 
dredge by A. Manzoni; these are very poor in mollusks, being devoid of 
vegetation; Tavvitdlu, Chenopus [Aporrhais], Philine, Akera, Dentalium, 
Nation yuillcmini, Doris, Tethys, Sepia, and Loligo are the only genera which 
have been found, most of them very numerous. The author insists that all 
must feed on animal matter. Bull. mal. Ital. iii. pp. 11-14. 
The marine mollusks found at Cape Pinede, near Marseilles, are enumerated 
by F. Ancey, Ann. Mal. pp. 244-257. 
The recent marine shells found at and near Catania are enumerated by A. 
Aradas, Att. Soc. Ital. iii. pp. 533-544. The short littoral tract between 
Catania and Riposto, and chiefly that of Aci-Trezza, is extraordinarily rich 
in sea-shells, some of them very rare, or not found hitherto elsewhere (for 
example, Panopeea glgeijinevis) ; the sandy shore next Catania, on the con­
trary, is rather poor.—The Sicilian species described in 1840 and 1H41 as 
new by Prof. C. Maravigna, and always regarded as more or loss doubtful, 
have been examined by L. Benoit and A. Aradas from original specimens, 
and identified, except one, with well-known ones. Att. Soc. Ital. iii. 1K09, 
and Bull. mal. Ital. iii. p. fl(i. 
A large number of shells dredged in the Mediterranean by Captains Spratt 
and Nares, in various depths, some of 100 fathoms and more, are enumerated 
by Jell'reys Ann. X. II. (4) vi. pp. 65-80. Besides several new species, they 
contain others known hitherto only in a fossil state—for example, Verticordia 
graiii/lata, Astarteparva, &c. 
GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION. 129 
Pelagic mollusks, and especially Pteropods, often make their appearance in 
places where they have never been observed before or afterwards; so in the 
gulf of Naples in 1864 Clionopsis krohnii, in 1865 Spiralis recurvirostra, in 
1869 Ilyalcea inflexa and Creseis acicula. Costa, Ann. Mus. Nap. iii. 1869. 
Twenty-nine species of Mediterranean Cephalopods are enumerated by 
Targioni-Tozzetti, Att. Soc. Ital. xii. pp. 587-598. 
A very poor list of mollusks found in the Black Sea is given by F. Mar-
cusen in the-'Transactions' of the first meeting of Russian naturalists at 
St. Petersburg, 1868, p. 178. 
3. Red Sea. 
Seventy-two species of sea-shells, collected in the bays of Suez and Akaba, 
are enumerated by P. Fischer, who points out that some of them are iden­
tical with or very nearly allied to others from the West Indies. J. de Conch. 
xviii. pp. 161-179. One only, Nassa gibbosula (L.), is said to occur also 
living in the Mediterranean. [See below, p. 134.] 
A large number of sea-shells, collected by Mr. M'Andrew in the Red Sea 
are enumerated (Ann. N. H. (4) vi. pp. 429-450), among which are 355 
not contained in Issel's work; the new species among them are described 
by H. Adams, 1. c. pp. 121-129, and P. Z. S. 1870, pp. 5-7, pi 1. figs. 1-11, 
and pp. 788-793, pi. 48. figs. 1-19. 
A list of 128 species of sea-shells collected in Annesley Bay, and nine 
others obtained in the open sea off the south-east coast of Arabia, is given 
by W . T. Blanford, Obs. Geol and Zool. Abyss, pp. 462-471. 
4. Seas of India and Tropical Polynesia. 
Scattered descriptions of apparently new species occur in the various peri­
odicals, but no paper treating of them separately. 
5. Northern Pacific. 
A. ADAMS gives a list of 87 species of Proboscidiferous Mollusks inhabit­
ing the seas of Japan. Besides 9 new ones and a large number of tropical 
Indian species, there are some well-known European forms among them, 
as Buceinum undatum, L., Gulf of Tartary; B. glaciate, L., Saghalien; 
Purpura hcemastima (L.), Hakodadi; P. lapillus (L.), Hakodadi and other 
localities; Nassa mutabilis (L.), Takanosima and Mososeki; the last is the 
most remarkable, as in Europe it is confined to the Mediterranean. The 
genus Leptoconchus is here first indicated from Japan in Madrepores at Kino-
O-Sima. Ann. N. H. (4) v. pp. 418-430. 
The shells of Monterey are enumerated by J. G. Cooper; 206 species are 
named, 126 of them have heen first observed on the shore, 80 first found by 
dredging. A m . J. Conch, vi. pp. 42-70. 
The species of Patella and allied genera occurring on the West Coast are 
treated by Dall, A m . J. Conch, vi. pp. 227-282. 
Several sea-shells from La Paz, California, collected by J. Pedersen, are 
described and others mentioned by A. E. Verrill A m . J. Sc. xix. pp. 217-
227. 
130 MOLLUSCA. 
6. Atlantic shores of North America. 
A second edition of GOULD'S Report on the Invertebrata of 
Massachusetts, under the care of W C B I N N E Y , as far as the 
marine mollusks are concerned, is compiled chiefly from the 
M S S . of the late author; almost every description is accom­
panied by a woodcut; the plates of the first edition are not re­
published, but twelve new ones, beautifully coloured, repre­
senting principally naked' mollusks, from drawings by Agassiz, 
Stimpson, &c, are added. Also the species found hitherto only 
on the shores of Canada, Labrador, &c. are included, so that 
this very valuable work comprises the whole northern fauna 
between Davis Straits aud Cape Cod. 
The marine Mollusca of Massachusetts are also reviewed by W. II. Dall, 
P. Bost. Soc. xiii. pp. 240-257 ; those of Lower Canada by Whiteaves, Canad. 
Nat. v. 1870; the Bivalves of New Haven by Perkins, P. Bost. Soc. xii. 
p. 138. 
Contemporaneous changes of the Fauna. 
Hgalina draparnaldi (Beck), at Hamburg observed for some time and 
perhaps introduced, seems now to be destroyed; II. aspevsa (Miill.) has also 
been introduced sometimes by accident, but has never bred there. Wesscl, 
Nachr. mal. Ges. ii. pp. 7(i, 77. The former has been found also in the palm-
house of the Botanical Garden at Berlin with II. alliavia. Friedel, ibid. 
p. 170. 
Some attempts at acclimatizing land-shells in several localities with nega­
tive results are mentioned by Friedel, ibid. p. 79. 
Helix acuta (Miill.) arrived alive in gardens at Frankfort on palm-trunks. 
Kobelt, ibid. p. 160. 
The only locality of H. vcviniculata (Miill.) within the province of Venice 
is the Botanical Garden of Padua. Titius, in de Betta's Malacol. Vcneta, 
p. 53. [It was observed there in 1850 by the Recorder, and sevoral years 
before by his father.] 
Helix fa-tens [var. duffti, Kobelt, see Zool. l!ec. vi. p. 531] has been found 
in chinks and clefts of an old wall at Rudolstadt, but is now extinct, though 
it appears to have lived there probably less than a century ago. Also tho 
variety of Limiieea paluslvis, described by Sehriiter in 1779 from Rudolstadt, 
and called Helix corvus, cannot be again found at present. Duil't, Nachr. 
mal. ties. ii. pp. 10* KM). 
Jlii/imus detritus (.Miill.) seems to be nearly extinct at Weilburg in Nassau. 
Sundberger, Nachr. mal. (ies. ii. p. 183. 
Planorbis dilatalus, Could, introduced at Manchester. Jeffreys, Ann. N. I!

Friedel, Mal. Bl. xvii. p. 60. 
Venus mereenaria, L., its acclimatization failed at Arcachon. Mobius, 
Austern- u. Miesmuschelzucht, p. 11. 
Paleeontology of Recent Species. 
Some remarks on the shells found in diluvial beds near Pots­
dam are given by E. F R I E D E L . Helix pulchella (Miill.) is the 
only terrestrial species among them; amongst the others are 
Paludina diluviana (Kunth), Valvata contorta (Menke), V.fora-
minis (Braun) probably=macrostoma (Steenstrup), and Bithynia 
tentaculata (L.). Neither he nor Dr. Reinhardt could find 
Tichogonia [Dreissena] in the undisturbed beds, although a few 
single shells of it are said by others to have been found there or 
in other diluvial deposits; it is probable that these were recent, 
and occurred accidentally on the surface of those beds. Nachr. 
mal. Ges. ii. pp. 177-180. 
Subfossil specimens of Helix nemoralis (L.), exhibiting a round perforation 
like that caused in marine shells by Murex erinaceus, have been observed by 
Colbeau, Ann. mal. Belg. iii. 1868, p. lxi. 
Melanopsis dufourei (Fer.) has also been found in quaternary limestone-
tuff in Tuscany, which proves that it has not been introduced of late years. 
Appelius, Nachr. mal. Ges. ii. p. 45. 
In the elevated prehistoric oyster-banks of the western shores of Sleswick 
Ostrea edulis (L.) and Ostrea hippopus (Lam.) are to be found mingled 
with each other in the same bank. Friedel, Mal. Bl. xvii. pp. 79, 80. 
A rather large number of recent Mediterranean shells, found 
in the pleistocene clay at Ficurazzi and in limestone at Monte-
pulciano in Italy, are enumerated by Allery de Monterosato, 
Bull. mal. Ital. iii. pp. 44, 45. The shells of the pleistocene 
clay at the base of Mount Etna are enumerated by A. Aradas 
in his ' Conchiologia Etnea/ Att. Soc. Ital. xii. 1869. 
Not only the quaternary and pliocene beds in Italy, but also 
those undoubtedly older than the pliocene proper, contain spe­
cies of shells which do not live at present in the Mediterranean, 
but in the Northern seas of Europe. G. Seguenza, Bull. mal. 
Ital. iii. pp. 65-74. 
Fourteen species of sea-shells from the recent deposits at the Bitter Lakes 
near Suez are enumerated by P. Fischer, J. de Conch, xviii. p. 172 ; they all 
belong to the recent fauna of the Red Sea, except Cardium edule (L.). 
Apparent kitchen-middens, containing shells of recent species 
of sea- and land-mollusks, have been found by F. Stobczka 
on the Andaman Islands and described in J. A. S. B. 1870, 
pp. 1-11. 
132 MOLLUSCA. 
Mollusks in confinement. 
Advice as to keeping and rearing terrestrial mollusca in confinement is 
given by H. Seibert, Nachr. mal. Ges. ii. pp. 72-74. 
Collecting and Preserving. 
The methods of making and preserving microscopical pre­
parations of the radula and jaw of Gastropods are discussed by 
W . Kobelt, Nachr. mal. Ges. ii. pp. 58-62. 
A method of collecting small land-shells, especially those 
which live in damp places, by taking moss &c. from the irriga­
tion channels of the meadows, and examining them at home fresh 
and dried, is given by H. Seibert, /. c. p. 96. 
Classification. 
The importance of the dentition for the classification of the 
Mollusca is discussed by Kobelt, Ber. Senck. Ges. 1869-70, 
pp. 65-71 ; he comes to the conclusion that neither this nor any 
other character is absolute. 
CEPHALOPODA. 
A general account of the Cephalopoda, recent and fossil, is 
given by H. Woodward, chiefly from posthumous papers of his 
brother. Stud. iv. 1870, pp. 1-11, 241-249, with 4 good plates. 
A. L A F O N T has made several observations concerning the 
development of the spermatozoids and the copulation of various 
species of Cephalopods at Arcachon. The substance of the 
spermatophores is produced by the glands, which have been 
called seminal vesicles by Cuvier, and for which the author 
proposes that of " vesieules d'Edwards;" the spermatozoids 
themselves come from bodies which resemble in all respects 
true ovula, and are developed within the testicle. H o w sper­
matozoids come into the spermatophores could not be ascer­
tained. The copulation has been observed in Sepia filliouxii, 
Lafont. A male and female interlace their arms, and are situ­
ated mouth against mouth; clusters of spermatozoids and the 
torn remains of the spermatophores are expelled from the funnel 
of the male, and find their way by the current of the water into 
the branchial aperture of the female. The arms have, at least 
in this genus, no direct function in the copulation. Ann. Sc. 
Nat. (5) xi. 1869, pp. 109-LW. 
M E I G E N ' S experiments and reasoning concerning the hydro­
static quality of the shell of Nautilus result in conclusions similar 
to those advanced by the late Prof. Kei'erstcin, viz. that the air 
within the air-chambers of the shell serves only to give to the 
whole animal a specific weight nearly equal to that of the water, 
and that the descending or ascending is effected only by the 
CEPHALOPODA GASTROPODA. 133 
compression of a small volume of air, some cubic centimetres, 
in the last or dwelling-chamber of the shell; the principal 
function of the siphon is said to be to keep a general equilibrium 
between the air included in the chambers and the pressure of 
the surrounding water for longer intervals by diffusion through 
the membrane of the siphon, this action being too slow to come 
into operation for the locomotion itself. Arch. f. Nat. 1871, 
pp. 1-34.

taken hy the author in the old Linna?an sense, Trivia being made a subgenus; 
and there are besides seven subdivisions of Cypveea proper and two of Trivia 
adopted. Numerous notes, which serve chiefly to point out the distinction of 
closely allied species, are added to the descriptions.

Hgdrobia. II. de Betta, Malacol. Venet. pp. 93, 94, & 127, enumerates four 
species belonging to this genus, which live in the estuaries of Venice, viz. 
eonoxdea lleymer, stagnalis, Baster, thermalis, Linne, and ventrosa, Montagu; 
it isprobaole that they all belong to one species. He is also wrong in asso­
ciating all those species with spiral operculum in the genus Bithynia. 
Preoccupied in Crustacea, 1861. 
RISSOIDJE. 141 
Hydrobia acuta (Drap.) again found, but not alive, in the salt lake near 
Halle, and the probability that it may really live there discussed by the 
Recorder, SB. nat. Fr. 1870, p. 59. 
"Bithynia stagnalis," Baster, one of the Hydrobice living in the province of 
Verona, is considered [probably wrongly] to be identical with the sub­
marine H. stagnalis, Linn<5; the Veronese species determined by Menegazzi 
as abbreviata, Mich., is really schmidtii, Charp. Betta, Moll. prov. Veron.

the specific name of this shell, but without knowing that it has been form­
ally described and figured by Megerle von Miihifeld (Verh. d. Ges. natur. 
Fr. Berl. vol. i. 1824, p. 215, pi 9 (3) f. 5) as Turbo annulatus, Gmelin.

Tricula montana, Bens., is a true freshwater shell; its tentacles are long, 
filiform, and the eyes placed behind them, just as in the terrestrial Acicula, 
Hartm.; it has been refound in North Cachar, at an elevation of about 
3000 feet above the sea. Blanford, Ann. N. H. (4) vi. p. 369. 
PALUDINIDJE. 
The Paludinidce of France, including Hydrobia &c, are reviewed by 
Paladilhe, Ann. Mal. pp. 167-243. 
Paludina pyramidalis, Jan, acknowledged. as a variety of fasciata, Mull,

Vivipara penchinati, subfasciata, danubialis, amblya, zxAmicrolena, spp. nn., 
Bourguignat, Ann. Mal. p. 37, mouth of the Danube. 
Vivipar a lineata (Kuster not Val.) is the true name of the American 
species; the occurrence of Valenciennes's specimens in India is attested by a 
M S . label in the Museum of Paris. Binney, Ann. Lye. N. York, ix. pp. 295-
297, and Tryon, A m . Journ. Conch, vi. p. 176. [The Recorder made the 
same statement in 1865 (Mal. Bl. xii. p. 150).] 
Tulotoma magnifica (Conrad), its lingual dentition described and figured by 
Binney and Bland, Ann. Lye. N. York,ix. pp. 292-294: it is very similar to 
that of Vivipara; also the right tentacle is said to be broad [probably only 
in the males, as in Vivipara],

YALVATIDJE. 
Valvata mtticina, Menke. Hensche insists that he has found and recognized 
this species in the province of Eastern Prussia. Nachr. mal. Ges. ii. p. 98. 
The Recorder has also recognized it, on comparison with Hensche's specimens, 
in a Valvata collected by Dr. Jachno in Galizia, and supposes it to be the 
Valvata, sp. n., from Kiew and Moskau, in Nadeschin's catalogue, I. c. pp. 
131 and 181.

adds that some fossil species placed commonly in the genus Proto may possibly 
enter into his new genus, but not P. maraschinii, and moreover that tho name 
has been twice preoccupied.

PULMONATA. 
GEOPHILA. 
C. SEMPER'S work on the land-snails of the Philippines is a 
very valuable addition to the anatomical knowledge of the 
exotic Pulmonata; the part which has been published treats 
only of the Zonitidse, and devotes five of the seven plates to 
anatomical figures, especially the genital apparatus, the jaw, and 
the dentition of the radula. The author gives special attention 
to the prominent lobes of the mantle, which are not covered by 
the shell when the animal is in activity, distinguishing two sorts, 
the cervical lobes, extended forwards and covering a part of the 
neck before the shell, and the shell-lobes, which are reflected 
backwards and applied to the outer surface of the shell. There 
are ordinarily two of each sort present, a right and a left one ; 
but in some genera the one or other is wanting or is subdivided. 
Photographic figures of the dentition of 11 species of land- and fresh­
water mollusca are given by W . Binney and Th. Bland, Ann. Lye. N. York,

OXYGNATHA (ZONITID^E). 
The classification of the first family of Pulmonata proposed by 
C. S E M P E R is the following :— 
Family Zonitidee. A mucous pore at the hinder end of the 
foot. Jaw smooth, without ribs. Lateral teeth of the radula 
subulate or bicuspidate. 
Subfamily 1. Ceratophora. A horn-like prominence above 
the mucous pore; under surface of the foot longitudinally di­
vided into three parts. 
Tennentia, Parmarion, Euplccta, n. g., Macrochlamys, Dendrolimax (Dohrn), 
Helicarion, Eurypus, n. g., Rotula (Albers), Martensia, n. g., Microcystis, Ma-
croceros, n. g. [Here should be inserted the American genus Stenopus or 
Guppya.] 
Subfamily 2. Aceratophora. N o horn-like prominence above 
the mucous pore; under surface of the foot not divided. 
Ariophanta, Xesta, Rhysota (Albers), Zonites. 
The anatomy of some Italian species of Limaxhas been studied 
by F. SORDELLI, Atti Soc. Ital. xiii. pp. 1-12; his observations 
lead him to distinguish the subdivisions of this genus in the 
following manner:— 
I. Internal shell inequilateral, dorsal keel incomplete. Sheath of the male 
organ simple, 
«. without flagelliform appendix: Eulimax, Moq.-Tand. 
aa. as long as the matrix or longer: Limax dorice, dacampi, punctu-
latus. 
bb. not half as long as the matrix: L. maximus, psarus, variegatus, 
arbor um.

Helicarion, Fer. C. Semper characterizes this genus anatomically by the 
want of an appendicular gland in the vagina and a peculiar sac containing 
calcareous concretions at the vas deferens; he introduces into it, from his 
anatomical researches, several species, the shell of which agrees much more 
with that of Helix than with that of Vitrina, and arranges them in two 
series. 
a. Species which have peculiar horny papilla? in the lumen of the penis. 
To this series belong all Philippine species. They live on trees, and when 
disturbed the hinder part of their foot is lost by vehement wriggling. They are: 
— H . ceratodes, Pfr., gutta, Beck, helicoides, sp. n., Camiguin, crenularis, Beck, 
resiliens, Beck, incertus, sp. n., island Cebu, Philippines, margarita, Beck, tigri-
nus, sp. n., pi 2. fig. 13, Mindanao, politissimus, Beck, bicarinatus, sp. n., pi 1. 
f. 8, Camiguin, Luzon, and bisligensis, sp. n., pi. 2. f. 12, Bislig in Mindanao. 
Of all these species the genital apparatus and the dentition are described, and 
the one or the other figured on pi. 4 and pi. 6. Several other Philippine species, 
152 MOLLUSCA. 
known only from the shell, and described as Vitrina by others, belong very 
probably also to this division. 
6. Species without horny papillae within the penis: — Helicarion frey-
cineti and H. an-ieri, Fe"r., from Australia, and H. pfeiferi, Philippi, from the 
Fiji Islands, with helicoid shells ; genital apparatus pi. 3. figs. 6-8: dentition 
pi 6. figs. 10,11, and 14. Semper, /. c. pp. 20-31. 
Helicarion sogdianus, sp. n., Martens, SB. nat. Fr. 1870, p. 56, Samarkand, 
Microcystis, Beck, elevated to the rank of a distinct genus by C. Semper; 
sexual apparatus very simple, without appendicular organs; only one cascum 
at the penis. Some species are viviparous. M. myops, Dohrn, succinea, 
Pfr., upolensis and perpolita, Mouss., which are anatomically identical, and 
palaensis, O. Semper, pi 2. fig. 16, from the Palau (Pelew) Islands: the 
genital apparatus and dentition figured pi 3. f. 11, pi 4. fig. 9, and pi. 6. 
figs. 21, 22, and 34. The following are known only from the shell :—gla-
berrima, sp. n., pi. 2. fig. 10, Mariveles, Luzon, 1500-3000 feet above the sea, 
lactea, sp.n., pi. 2. fig. 9, Arayat, Luzon, wilsoni, 0. Semper, pi. 2. fig. 11,

pp. 114,115, pi. 7. figs. 4, 5, Fiji Islands, referred by the author to the sub­
genus Microcystis. 
Macroceros, gen. nov., proposed by C. Semper for Helix spectabilis, Pfr., 
from Saniar, Philippine Islands. Genital apparatus simple, without appen­
dicular organs ; teeth of the radula entire and blunt. The living animal 
figured pi. 1. figs. 6, 7; sexual apparatus pi. 4. fig. 4; jaw and dentition 
pi. 6. fig. 23. Semper, I. c. p. 49. 
Nanina. Prof. C. SEMPER breaks up this genus into several 
smaller ones, founded chiefly on the presence or absence of 
some appendicular organs in the sexual apparatus, and of a 
horn-like prominence above the mucus-pore. These generic 
divisions do not agree with the conchological subgenera of 
former authors; and so the author is forced to use the names 
Xesta, Rhysota, Ariophanta, and Helicarion in a somewhat dif­
ferent sense than has been done hitherto. The name Nanina is 
purposely omitted. H e arranges them, together with the other 
known genera furnished with a mucus-pore forming his family 
Zonitidse, in the following manner:— 
Xesta, Albers, also elevated to the rank of a distinct genus by C. Sem­
per. Shell-lobes of the mantle varying in extension and development; a 
cylindrical appendicular gland with a cartilaginous terminal papilla, a sac 
with calcareous concretions at the vas deferens, a caacum at tho penis. Outer 
lateral teeth of the radula bicuspidate. Shell of very different form, vitri-
noid or helicoid. 
a. Shell-lobes very large, left cervical lobe not divided; shell vitrinoid. 
X. cumingi, Beck, from Mindanao, lives on trees, like Helicarion; the living 
animal figured pi. 1. fig. 4; the sexual apparatus pi 4. fig. 5, and pi. 5. figs. 
5-10; dentition pi. U. fig. 28. The female appendicular gland is very ex­
actly described, and declared to be the analogue of the multifid gland of the 
OXYGNATHA. 153 
European species of Helix, pp. 57-60. Also Helix conoidalis, Adams and 
Rv., may possibly belong to this section. 
b. Shell-lobes tongue-shaped, left cervical lobe divided into two. Shell 
helicoid. X. mindanaensis, sp. n., p. 61 (the living animal pi. 1. fig. 1, the 
shell pi. 2. fig. 1), Mindanao, lives on the ground; a variety, or perhaps di­
stinct species, p. 62. X. distincta (Pfr.), Cochinchina and Mindanao [is also 
abundant in Siam], citrina (L.), Moluccas. The genital apparatus, jaw, and 
dentition described and figured pi. 3. figs. 13 & 14, pi. 6. figs. 27 & 30, and 
pi. 7. fig. 12. The following species, known from the shell only, probably 
belong also to this section: nobilis, Pfr., and obliquata, Reeve, both from 
Zamboanga, Mindanao, borneensis, Pfr., schumacheriana, Pfr., donovani, Pfr., 
and souleyetiana, Pfr., from Borneo. 
c. Shell-lobes rudimentary or wanting, left cervical lobe not divided. 
X. bistrialis, Beck, ligulata, Fer., tranquebarica, Fabr., belangeri, Desh., and 
maderaspatana, Gray, all from S. India; the sexual apparatus, jaw, and den­
tition of them described and figured pi 3. figs. 15, 16 & 26, pi 5. fig. 4, 
pi 6. figs. 25 & 29, pi. 7. figs. 9-11. Semper, I. c. pp. 45-66.—The living 
animal of Nanina ligulata (Fer.) is also described and figured by A. Craven, 
Ann. mal. Belg. vol. iv. 1869, p. 93, pi. 3. According to this figure the 
hinder end of the foot is broad and flat, as the Recorder has observed it in 
N. (Rhysota) ovum, Val, and different from the elevated truncated extremity 
of N citrina Ch.). 
Ariophanta, Desmoulins. C. S E M P E R characterizes this genus 
in the following manner :—Both shell-lobes of the mantle 
present in most species; a female appendicular gland, composed 
of single lobuli, and connected with a calcareous sagitta; no 
appendicular glands on the male sexual organ. This genus is 
represented by the following species:—rumphii, v. d. Busch, 
Java; martini, Pfr., Sumatra; nemorensis, Miill., Celebes; rare-
guttata, Mouss., Adenare; striata, Gray, Singapore; and atro-
fusca, Albers, Singapore [and Borneo]. Genital apparatus, 
sagitta, jaw, and dentition of some of the species described and 
figured pi. 3. figs. 17-20, pi. 5. figs. 14 and 24, pi. 6. fig. 31, 
pi. 7. figs. 5-8. N o species known from the Philippines. Sem­

Rhysota, Albers; also elevated to the rank of a genus by C. Semper. 
Shell-lobes quite absent; left cervical lobe divided into two parts. Sexual 
apparatus simple, without appendicular glands. All known species belong to 
the Philippines, and can be arranged according to the sculpture of the shell. 
a. Shell wrinkled. R. ovum, Val, Luzon; maxima, Pfr., E. and N. Min­
danao ; porphyria, Pfr., Burias Island; and dvitija, 0. Semper, Luzon. The 
sexual apparatus, jaw, and dentition of these four species described and 
figured pi 4. figs. 1, 6 & 8, pi. 5. fig. 22, pi 7. figs. 15 & 16. A new species 
belonging to this section, but known only from the shell, is R. antonii, 
sp. n., Semper, I. c. p. 72, pi 2. f. 2, Luzon. 
b. Shell decussated. R. bulla, Pfr., Luzon; semiglobosa, Pfr., Southern

belong:—ccelatura, Fer., rufa, Less., massoni, Behn, and campbelli, Gray, all 
described hitherto as Helix. The sexual apparatus, jaw, and dentition of 
these four species described and figured, pi. 3. figs. 22, 23, 25, & 28, pi 7. 
figs. 1, 2, 3 & 17. Probably also Helix rawsonis, Bens., detecta, Fe"r., cernica, 
H. Adams, and imperfecta, Desh., belong to this genus, but they are known 
only from the shell. H philyrina, Morelet, must be reexamined; its radula

Cylindrella, Pfr. H. Crosse and P. Fischer (J. de Conch, xviii. pp. 1-27) di­
vide this genus, from the dentition, into two different types. The true Cylin-
drellce are chiefly represented in the islands of the West Indies, and may be 
formed, together with the genus Macroceramus, into a distinct family, to be 
called Cylindrellidce, and to be placed near the Goniognatha of Dr. Morch. The 
genus Cylindrella may be distributed, with regard to the radula, in the fol­
lowing manner:— 
Group 1. Cylindrella proper: only two lateral teeth on each side, then 
following " marginal " teeth of very different form and in various number. 
C. tvinitavia,'Ph-.,gracilis,Wood) bahamensis, Pfr., costata (Guilding),agnesi-
ana, Adams, and brooksiana, Gundlach, pi. 3. figs. 7,8, pi. 4. figs. 1^3. This 
division wiU contain the groups called Casta, Trachelia, and Mychostoma by 
Albers. 
Group 2. CaUonia (n. g.) : more than two lateral teeth, marginal teeth not 
very different; median tooth very narrow.— C. ellioti, Poey, pi. 3. figs. 9-13. 
Group 3. Thaumasia, Albers (p.): more than two lateral teeth; marginal 
teeth not differing from them. C. perlata, Gundl, vignalensis, Wright, breois, 
Pfr., scceva, Gundl, rosea, Pfr., sanguinea, Pfr. pi. 4. figs. 4-6. 
Lia, Albers : lateral teeth very numerous, with only one inner cuspid ; no 
different marginal teeth. L. maugeri, Wood, pi 3. figs. 1-5. 
Macroceramus, Guilding: similar to the preceding, but with two distinct 
inner cuspids. M. signatus, Guilding, pi. 3. figs. 14-16. 
For the other type which agrees with the dentition of Helix, see Euca-
lodium and Holospira among the Aulacognatha.

Limncea, group Gulnaria, Leach, or Radix, Montf. The European 
species of this group have been carefully revised by Dr. W . K O B E L T . 
H e remarks that none of the species or true varieties are rare in 
their localities, and that every so-called species which is said to 
occur in but few specimens is to be suspected; similar conditions 
m a y give similar features to different species, and so cause cor­
responding varieties of distinct species, which live in the same 
locality. A m o n g the more striking of such cases are the lacus­
trine varieties, living in large inland lakes, and distinguished by 
a more solid shell and shortened spire from the types of their 
species. The author gives the following species and varieties:— 
1. auricular in, Drap., type pi. 1. fig. 1, var. costellata fig. 2, var. ampla,

taining the following described species:—L. oahuensis, Souleyet,=q$mw, Sou-
leyet,=volutata, Gould; also reticulata (Gould), umbilicata (Mighels), and 
producta (Mighels) ; finally turgidula, compaeta, and ambigua, spp. nn. H e 
states that sinistral and dextral specimens are found in company with each 
other, the latter being rare in all localities. This confirms an opinion pub­
lished by the Recorder in Ann. N. H. L. c. pp. 4-6; the new species figured, 
pi 3. 
Pompholyx, Lea. The external and anatomical characters of this genus 
are fully described from specimens found in Clear Lake, and belonging pro­
bably to P. leana, H. & A. Adams, var. solida. The principal of them are : 
—buccal plate subcordiform ; lateral jaws absent; genitalia on the left side 
(in Limncea on the right) ; tentacles stout, cylindrical, slightly globose at the 
tips ; eyes sessile on the front of the head near the inner bases of the tenta­
cles ; in some individuals an aggregation of pigment-cells near the tips of the 
tentacles, which has been taken for a second pair of eyes, but it is nearly or 
entirely absent in others. Dall, Ann. Lye. N. H. ix. pp. 333-340, pi. 2.

Planorbis. Ficinus has made anatomical researches which 
show a considerable difference in the male organ of several of 
our common European species of this genus. In PI. vortex, leu-
costomus, spirorbis, albus, and contortus it is furnished with a 
very elegant calcareous sting, which is not thrown away as the 
sagitta of Helix. Planorbis corneus, nitidus, and complanatus, 
Drap. [fontanus (Lightf.) ], want this organ. The first of them 
is further distinguished by a well-developed albuminous gland, 
the two latter by csecal appendices on the corpus cavernosum. 
The author proposes, but with some hesitation, a new generic 
name, Appendiculata, for these two last-named species. Z. ges.

THALASSOPHILA. 
Siphonaria. The anatomy of this genus has been the subject 
of researches by W M . DALL, chiefly in S. tristensis (Sow.). He 
found several differences from the previous description by Quoy 
and Gaimard ; but the chief systematic characters, as the united 
sexes, the lungs, and the radula agreeing with that of Helix 
and Limncea in the principal features, are confirmed by his 
researches. H e divides the genus into two sections :— 
A. Siphonaria proper. Shell solid, porcellanous, radiately ribbed, apex 
central or subcentral. S. gigas, Sow., sipho, Sow., and alternata, Say. Most 
of the species tropical. 
B. Liriola. Shell thin, horny, smooth, or finely striated; apex marginal 
or submarginal, twisted to the left in most of the species. S. thersites, Carp., 
the northernmost species, occurring at Sitka and Alaska; S. tristensis, Sow., 
lessoni, Blainv., and peltoides, Carp., pi 4. fig. 11, extending from Monterey to 
the Galapagos, and including perhaps as varieties Naeella subspiralis, Carp., 
and N. vernalis, Dall. Most of the species are extratropical Anisomyon, 
Meek, 1860, appears to be a genus allied to Siphonaria. Dall, A m . J. Conch. 
vi. pp. 30-41, pis. 4, 5. 
Gadinia, Gray. The anatomical examination of a west-coast 
species, G. reticulata, Sow., by W . D A L L proves that this genus is a 
true pulmonate, breathing air by m e a n s of a lung, and unprovided 
with gills of any kind. T h e anatomy shows affinity with the 
Auriculidce; and the dentition has relations with that of Sipho­
naria. T h e rostrum is bifid and infundibuliform. 
The known species are :— G. afra (Gmel), Western Africa; garnotii

same species. Weinkauff, Bull. mal. Ital. iii. p. 90. Appelius suggests that 
both may be varieties of 67. garnotii (Payr.), ibid. p. 91, footnote. 
PULMONATA OPERCULATA. 
LACAZE-DUTHIERS asserts that in the arrangement of the

is enormously elongated in comparison with normal Bivalves.

Aspergillum javanicum. The anatomy has been studied by 
LACAZ E - D U T H I E R S , who came to the conclusion that it agrees in 
all essential points with the other Lamellibranchiate Bivalves. 
The upper [anterior] adductor muscle has disappeared; and 
in consequence the branchial ganglions touch the rectum. 
The calcareous tube is an adventitious formation, analogous to 
the calcareous deposit in the holes made by Teredo, and not 
homologous with the rudimentary valves; the mantle does not 
adhere to the tube; and its edges are connate for almost their 
whole length. The young are contained within the mantle, as 
in Ostrea and Teredo. C. R. Feb. 1870, pp. 268-271.

ISOCARDIID^E. 
Isocardia cor (L.). Very young individuals have not the fine bristly epi­
dermis of the old ones, and swarm on the surface of the mud in deep water, 
while the adults bury themselves in it; they have been described by former 
naturalists as distinct species and even genera, namely Kellia abyssicola 
(Forbes), Venus miliavis (Philippi), and Kclliella (Sars). Jeffreys, Ann. N. 
H. (4) v. p. 441. 
S A R S describes his new genus Kclliella fully, and persists in thinking 
it distinct, and enumerates as differences from Isocardia the want of the 
brown ciliated epidermis, the glossy surface of the shell, the smaller and less 
prominent umbones, the well-defined and not sunken lunula, the ligament 
being internal, and the teeth of the hinge lying in one line, the want of any 
lateral teeth, the presence of some tentacles at the hinder part of the mantle, 
the presence of only one siphonal opening, the small palpi, and the unequal 
size of the gills. Bidr. Christ. Faun. pp. 89-97, pi 12. figs. 11-15, and

UNIONIDiE. 
The fourth edition of I. LEA'S synopsis of the Unionidse con­
tains, after a previous discussion on the best systematic arrange­
ment of the genera and species, a list of all known species, with 
full synonymy and numerous annotations; further, a table of 
geographical distribution, an index of all the names of species, 
with statement where they have been published, and an extended 
list of books and papers referring to the subject. The author 
admits 1069 known species, and gives besides a list of 224 
doubtful ones. 
Dr. F. C. N O L L , who has made the curious observation that 
within living specimens of Unio and Anodonta the eggs of a 
Cyprinoid fish, Rhodeus amarus, are deposited and the young 
fishes developed (Zool. Gart. 1869, pp. 257-265, pi. 1; see Zool. 
Rec. vi. p. 136), adds several particulars concerning the develop­
ment of the eggs of the mollusk itself, and some other animals 
infesting it (as Alcyonella). Zool. Gart. 1870, pp. 169-172. 
Dr. S C H O T T confirms these, ibid. pp. 237, 238. H e also describes 
the life and development, the parasites and other enemies &c. 
of Unionidae in a popular manner inBer. senckenb. nat. Gesellsch.

torum (L.), Rossm., in the lake of Garda, where exists also a smaller variety 
of Unio or Margaritana bonellii (Fer.); U. gurkensis, Ziegl, and ovalis 
(Megerle) enumerated as distinct species, but may be regarded also as varie­

species peculiar to Lake Garda. Betta, Moll. prov. Veron. pp. 136, 137. 
MYTILIDJE. 
Mytilus edulis, L., very common in the estuaries of East Fries-
land, spawning in the months of April and May. The young 
arc found living and growing on spots which are covered by 
water for only three or four hours in the day. This species is 
not much esteemed as food by the inhabitants. Metzger, JB. 
(les. Hannov. p. 29. 
The breeding of Mytilus edulis, L., has been attended to in 
Northern Germany in the first half of the year 1870. The 
circular of the " Deutscher Fischerei-Verein," no. 3, pp. 10-18, 
and especially the pamphlet which Prof. K. M O B I U S has been 
induced by that Society to publish, contain useful information 
on this subject. The latter comes to the conclusion that the 
breeding of the mussel may be much improved in the Baltic 
and in the North or German Sea by floating hurdles on which 
the young mussels may fix themselves. The same subject is 
treated by F. C. N O L L , with general remarks on the consumption, 
and special reference to Mcibius's paper, Zool. Gart. 1870, pp. 
285-290. Some particulars concerning the actual culture of 
this mollusk in Kiel by M O B I U S , Zool. Gart. 1870, p. 126.

pliocene beds of Italy, and is identical with Modiola pygmcea, Philippi, 1844. 
Allery de Monte Rosato, BuU. mal. Ital. iii. pp. 43, 44. 
Lithodomus lithophagus (L.), its burrowing observed by 
C. Caramagna. The mollusk makes its appearance at regular 
intervals at the orifice of its hollow, and then lets itself drop with 
an audible noise to the bottom. In the fore part of many spe­
cimens there can be traced spots which have been injured and 
have been repaired by the animal—which tends also to prove the 
mechanical action of the burrowing. In a mole built only 
seven years ago specimens of a length of 13 millimetres and 
11 in circumference have been found. Bull. mall. Ital. iii. pp. 
46-49.

OSTREIDJE. 
Ostreea [Ostrea]. Sowerby begins the monograph of this genus, in the 
continuation of Reeve's Conchologia Iconica, parts 284-287, with 16 plates 
and 35 figures. Apparently new among them are :—O. belcheri, pi. 7. f. 11, 
Eastern Seas ? ; lurida, Carpenter P, pi 9. f. 15, Mazatlan; permolKs, pi 10. 
fig. 18, hab. — ? ; ochracea, pi 10. f. 19, Mazatlan; angassi, pi. 13. f. 27, Port

chiloensis, pi. 15. f. 33, Chiloe [=chilensis, Philippi] ; mexicani, pi. 16. f. 35, 
Tehuantepec. 
Ostrea edulis (L.) occurs on the coast of East Friesland only 
off the islands, in depths of 16-18 fathoms sporadically, and in 
those of 20-25 fathoms gregariously; they almost all bear 
specimens of Balanus porcatus (Da Costa) and Verruca strmmia 
(Miill.) on their shells. Within the estuaries the strong tidal 
movement of the water seems to hinder their spontaneous 
growth. The oyster-banks which occur there are probably

ago as 1730 and even 1650. The oysters from these estuaries 
exhibit only Balanus crenatus (Brug.), instead of the two other 
Cirripeds mentioned above. Metzger, JB. Ges. Hannov. 1869-
70, pp. 28,29. 
The breeding of oysters is the subject of an interesting 
pamphlet written by Prof. K A R L M O B I U S . H e has visited 
the French and English establishments for this purpose, and 
comes to the conclusion that those in France, although great 
expense has been gone to, do not at all answer to the san­
guine hopes which have been entertained. Concerning the 
English establishments, he thinks that they are still too new to 
admit of conclusive judgment. H e then describes the natural 
oyster-banks on the western shores of Slesvick, and discusses in 
what manner they may be improved by keeping them clean from 
mud and destructive animals. The pernicious influence of long 
frost is observed (these observations will be found also in Zool. 
Gart. 1870, pp. 133, 134) ; and the hope that they may be 
artificially bred with success in the Baltic, where they do not 
live spontaneously, is contradicted by referring to several trials, 
all made without success. Several little maps are added in 
order to illustrate the geographical situation of the oyster-banks 
spoken of in Southern and Western France, in England, and in 
Slesvic. 
Another official report by A. T O L L E concerning a journey to 
visit the oyster-breeding establishments in England and France, 
bearing the date 1871, but really published in December 1870, 
treats chiefly of the statistics, topography, and instruments of 
these establishments on the various shores of France and those 
near the mouth of the Thames. 
Ostrea edulis (L.) and O. hippopus (Lam.) both occur on the 
western shores of Schleswig since time immemorial, and are 
used as food by m a n ; intermediate forms do not occur, but 
certainly " approximative" ones. Friedel, Mal. Bl. xvii. pp. 79, 
80. [This modifies a former statement, Zool. Rec. iv. p. 592.]

the points of resemblance between the Brachiopoda and the 
Articulata, principally the Annelides. The csecal prolongations 
of the mantle in Terebratula, the polygonal cells in the shell of 
the young Discina, find analogies among the Crustacea. The 
substance of the shell of Discina appears by chemical experiments 
to be chitinous. The setse or bristles of the Brachiopods are 
secreted by follicles and surrounded by muscular fibres, like 
those of the Annelides, and are also of identical structure with 
them. In the early stages of Discina these bristles are large 
and are moved freely by the animal, as in many worms and 
some young Polyzoa. The lophophore of the Brachiopods is 
compared to the arm-like supports of the gills in some tubi-
colous Annelids, as Sabella, and the mantle to the cephalic 
collar. The soft folds or lamellae of the internal surface of the 
mantle, the existence of which is proved by Morse, are compared 
to similar features in the Balanidse. The blood of Lingula 
is red as in some Annelides. The peculiar oviducts, with their 
trumpet-shaped openings, are quite unlike those of any mollusk, 
but bear close resemblance to those of many worms. H e comes 
to the conclusion that the Brachiopoda should be removed from 
the Mollusca and placed within the Articulata among the 
Annelides, forming a highly cephalized division of that class.

ing in no respect from the sand-tube of neighbouring Annelides, and has been 
found broken and repaired in many cases. The animal has the power of 
moving over the sand by the sliding motion of the two valves, using at the 
same time the fringes of the setae, which swung promptly back and forth like 
a galley of oars. P. Bost. Soc. June 1, 1870 (Am. J. Sc. 1 pp. 100-104). 
TUNICATA. 
AsCIDIvE SIMPLICES. 
C. KUPFFER has observed the development of Ascidia canina, 
Miill., which is common on the Zostera marina at Kiel. 
Before his researches he was rather sceptical concerning the 
homology of the larval organs in the Ascidiidae with those of the 
Vertebrata, but now comes to the conclusion that this homology 
exists, and certainly in a higher degree in the Ascidia canina, 
observed by himself, than in A. mamillata, observed by Kowa-
lewsky, and that this homology is shown as well by the genesis 
as by the relative position of the organs. The most striking ex­
amples are, according to him : — 1 . The chorda originating from 
a double row of internal cells, and transforming itself into a 
hyaline, cartilaginous, elastic axis, with an envelope of cellular 
structure. 2. The position of the central nervous system above, 
and that of the intestinal tube below this chorda. 3. The ge­
nesis and form of the nervous system itself. 4. The intimate 
connexion of the branchial sac and the intestinal tube, both 
making their first appearance as one common organ. 5. The 
relations of the muscles to the envelope of the chorda. Some 
peculiarities, on the contrary, of the Ascidiae, in their deve­
lopment, disagreeing with that of the Vertebrata, are the 
retardation and very low degree of the circulatory system and 
the conjunctive or mucous membranes—and, further, the very 
strange gelatinous envelope of the whole larva, containing 
amoeboid cells, and originating from the peripheric cellular 
stratum of the yelk existing before the fecundation. 
The author proceeds to trace the metamorphosis from the 
larva to the full-grown Ascidia. H e states, among other par­
ticulars, that the endostyle of the Ascidia is formed by the 
original epithelium of the branchial sac in a ventral furrow of 
the larva, and adopts, therefore, also the determination of 
184 MOLLUSCOIDA. 
dorsal and ventral side of these animals, in the same manner as 
the late Keferstein. 
A short abstract of Kowalewsky's and Kupffer's researches concerning the 
embryology of Ascidia; is to be found in Journ. Micr. Sc. 1870, pp. 59-69 
and 299. 
Dr. W. DONITZ opposes these views. He states, from obser­
vations on Clavellina lepadiformis (Miill.), made by him at 
Naples, that the cleaving of the yelk and the formation of 
a yelk-membrane is here as usual, that the intestine is not 
formed by any invagination, that the central nervous system, as 
described by Kowalewsky, is not found in the larvae of Clavellina, 
and concludes that the string of cells, intermixed with vacuoles, 
in the axis of the tail of those larvae is only apparently similar 
to the chorda of a vertebrate, but really quite different,—these 
cells being arranged concentrically, and not in bilateral order, 
and nothing like a vertebra being associated with them; he 
thinks it even very doubtful if the adjoining cells can be regarded 
as muscular cells. SB. nat. Fr. 1870, pp. 47-51; also in Arch. 
Anat. u. Phys. pp. 161-164. 
M . G A N I N , from his observations on the development of the 
compound Ascidiae (see below), comes to the conclusion that the 
nervous system of the embryo is, in its development, in its form, 
in its structure, and in its local relations to the other organs, 
more similar to the nervous system of the embryo of the Verte­
brata than to that of any other embryo or full-grown animal. 
The ciliated pit in the Ascidia? is to be compared to the nasal 
organ of Amphioxus. H e coincides, therefore, with Kowalewsky 
[and Kupffer] as to the affinity of the Ascidia? in their embryonic 
stage with the Vertebrata, and refutes the objections made by 
Mecznikow (Zool. Rec. vi. p. 591). Z. wiss. Zool. xx. pp. 513, 
517. 
L A C A Z E - D U T H I E R S , studying the development of various genera 
of Ascidians by means of artificial fecundation, observed the very 
strange fact that the embryo of what he believes to be Molgula 
tubulosa is widely different from that of others, being an un­
formed mass, with slow amoeboid motion. C. R. June 1870, 
and R. Z. 1870, pp. 206-209; translated Ann. N . H. (4) vi. 
pp. 109-111. 
A. H A N C O C K points out that a tadpole-like larva, like that of 
other Ascidia?, has also been observed by Van Beneden in a real 
Molgula, ampulloidea (Beneden), and by himself inM. complanata, 
sp. n.; and he suggests that the animal observed by Lacaze-
Duthiers was not a true Molgula, but Eugyra arenosa, Aid. and 
Hauc. His observation, however, is not the less interesting on 
that account. Ann. N. II. (!) vi. pp. 353-355.

ASCIDIA COMPOSITE. 
M . G A N I N publishes a preliminary report on his observations 
concerning the development of the compound Ascidia?, especially 
Didemnium gelatinosum, Sav., and four species of Botryllus. The 
egg of Didemnium produces one embryo and one larva, but this 
larva two individuals of the developed animal, as on the surface 
of the integument of the larva four gems arise, which unite 
themselves afterwards into two individuals. Each individual is 
formed by two gems of different shape and signification. The 
one, pedunculated, produces the branchial sac, the endostyle, the 
ciliated furrow, the ciliated arch, the nervous and muscular 
systems, and is called "thoracic gem" {Brustknospe) by the au­
thor. The other, sessile, produces the greater part of the intestinal 
1870. [VOL. VII.] O 
186 MOLLUSCOIDA. 
tract, the sexual organs, and the vascular system, and is called 
" abdominal gem " (Bauchknospe). From the peduncle of the first 
come the oesophagus and the rectum. In Botryllus also the egg 
produces only one embryo and one individual. The supposed 
eight embryos in the egg are the first elements of the stolons, which 
augment afterwards in number, and persist in the compound 
colony. The other individuals of Botryllus arise from gems pro­
duced by the first. This first individual is always without sexual 
organs, and produces, therefore, no eggs; the following indi­
viduals, produced by gemmation, produce eggs. There are no 
preexisting orifices for the issue of the eggs; but these force their 
way through the integument of the mother, taking a part of it 
with them as a temporary envelope. 
The first appearance and development of the medullary 
tube, the intestinal tract, the branchial sac and its fissures 
are the same in the compound and in the simple Ascidians; 
but several of Kowalewsky's observations concerning this de­
velopment of the embryo are erroneous. Z. wiss. Zool. xx.

POLYZOA. 
K. B. REICHERT thinks that in the Bryozoa neither true 
muscles nor true nerves exist, the histological structure of the 
organs hitherto regarded as such being different from that of the 
muscles and nerves of the higher animals ; consequently he pro­
poses to remove the Bryozoa from the Molluscoida, and to place 
them near the Anthozoa and Medusa? in a large division of lower 
evertebrate animals, which corresponds otherwise to Leuckart's 
Cwleulerata. H e regards the Bryozoa generally as subject to 
alternating generation—the so-called cell being a distinct pre­
vious individual, to be compared with the " nutrix " of the other 
cases of alternating generation, the "collare setosum" (oper­
culum) and " collare stellatum " belonging to the same, and the 
intestinal tractus, with the crown of tentacles, constituting a 
second individual, which takes its origin by gemmation from the 
first. H e adopts for the first the name fostering capsule (Brut-
kapsel), for the second the name bryozoid. The whole organi­
zation of the Bryozoa is interpreted according to this view; and 
the invagination of the bryozoid within the cell by two sorts of 
retractores is the object of special research. Finally, the author 
distinguishes between those Bryozoa in which a distinct common 
stem exists, called bryozophylon, which bears the single animals 
on its sides, as in the Vesiculariadae, and those which are con­
stituted only by the single animals budding one from the other, 
without a common stem, as in most other Bryozoa. H e calls 
POLYZOA. 187 
the former " Stammstocke" (stem-compositions), the latter 
" Zellen- oder Brutkapselstbcke " (cellular or capsular composi­
tions) . One instance only is known to him in which the capsules 
or cells arise first from a stem and afterwards from other cells; 
this is Cellularia chelata (Pall.) [Scruparia, Busk], observed by 
him at Spezzia. Reichert, Abh. Ak. Berl. 1869, pp. 233-323.

MORPHOLOGY. 
A. DOHRN publishes two papers concerning the common 
points in the embryonic development and the probable common 
origin of the different orders of the Crustacea. In the first he 
points out not only that the Decapoda pass during their deve­
lopment from the stage of Nauplius to that of Zoea (the sup­
pression of these stages, as in Astacus fluviatilis, being an ex­
ception), but also that in the other orders of Crustaceans 
there are traces which suggest the conclusion that they have 
had in former times such a Zoea-stage; he regards the dorsal 
spine as a very essential character of Zoea, and thinks that the 
dorsal accumulations of cells in the embryos of some Isopods 
and Amphipods, the so-called micropyle-apparatus in the Am-
phipods, the dorsal sucker of the larva? of Limnadia and the 
Cladocera, the frontal fixing apparatus of Caligus and Chalimus, 
and the peduncle of the Cirripeds are to be regarded as trans­
formations of the dorsal spine of Zoea; several other hitherto 
enigmatical organs in the larva? of .various Crustacea are inter­
preted in the same way. Jen. Z. Nat. v. pp. 471-491. 
In the second, very extended, paper he endeavours to trace the 
probable origin of all groups of the Crustacea from a Nauplius, 
which itself may have taken its origin from lowly organized 
members of the class Vermes. Archizoea is regarded as an 
intermediate stage between Nauplius and Zoea. The metamor-

phosis of the natatorial feet to the mandibles and maxilla?, and 
the formation of a dorsal shield, both lying between the stages 
of Nauplius and Zoea, are fully discussed. Then the author' 
proceeds by acknowledging the existence of a gap between Zoea 
and the Phyllopods; but nevertheless he thinks probable that 
all the present orders of the Crustacea did originate from Phyl-
lopoda. These separated themselves into two branches : some, 
remaining natatorial, and transferring the respiratory function 
from the dorsal shield to the natatorial feet, gave origin to all 
Podophthalma and Edriophthalma (the recent genus Nebalia is 
regarded as representing a link in the chain of this transforma­
tion) ; others, losing more or less their natatory propensities, 
and developing the dorsal shield into a strong mostly bivalve 
shield sufficient for protecting the whole body, which becomes 
shortened for this purpose, gave origin to the Ostracods, Cirri-
peds, and even to the Copepoda. The Trilobites belong also to. 
this stage of historical development. The question whether the 
Ostracoda can be reduced to transformed Phyllopoda, which 
Prof. Claus is inclined to maintain and F. Mfiller to deny, is 
fully discussed, chiefly with regard to the organization of the 
genus Cypridina, and fully upheld. Jen. Z. Nat. vi. pp. 96— 
156. 
In some specimens of Astacus (Cheraps) preissii (Erichs.), which have the 
internal and external male organs well developed, an analogue of the orifice 
of the female organs has also been observed in the chitinous tegument by 
the Recorder. SB. nat. Fr. 1870, p. 1. 
CONTRIBUTIONS TO FAUNAS. 
A. METZGER gives a list of Crustacea observed hitherto on the coast of 
East Friesland (between the mouths of the rivers E m s and Jahde), contain­
ing 24 species of Decapoda, 19 Amphipoda, including 2 Lasinodipoda, 7 Iso-
poda, 5 free Copepoda, 10 parasitical Caligidas and Lernasidee, 8 Cirripeda (and 
3 Pycnogonida). Their modes of occurrence are accurately stated. JB. Ges. 
Hannov. pp. 31-33. 
The Gammaridse (3 species), Lynceidse (6), and Cyprida (23) of the fresh 
waters of Belgium are given by F. Plateau, Mem. cour. Ac. Belg. xxxiv. 
1869-70; the Daphniidas and Cyclopidse in the following volume (xxxv.), 
1870. 
The Ostracoda of the tidal rivers of the eastern parts of Eng­
land, especially the tidal lakes or " broads" of East Norfolk, 
have been examined by H. G. B R A D Y . Although the water of 
most of them is perfectly fresh, there have been found many 
new and highly interesting species and even genera, the most 
characteristic of which are Goniocypris mitra, Metacypris cor-
data, Polycheles stevensoni, and Cythere fuscata. Some of them 
have been found also in the Dutch rivers Meuse and Scheldt. 
The author is not inclined to ascribe the presence of these and 
192 CRUSTACEA. 
other rather marine forms to recent immigration from the sea 
upwards, but thinks that they have remained from the old times 
when this soil was part of the sea. The said species are all 
found by dredging, and not on the surface of the water. The 
localities are exactly described; and in the introductory remarks 
the principal Ostracoda of salt marshes and of estuaries are also 
named; in the latter marine and freshwater species are mixed. 
A list of 84 species found in the river-estuaries of England and 
Scotland, and another of 99 from the English Fen-district and 
Holland, terminate the paper. Ann, N . H. (4) vi. pp. 1-33. 
Black Sea. The Crustacea are reviewed by CZERNIAVSKI in a 
somewhat long paper written in Russian; most of them are 
identical with Mediterranean species—as, for example, Steno-
rhynchus longirostris, Pilumnus hirtellus, Eriphia spinifrons, 
Pachygrapsus marmoratus, Diogenes varians, &c. The author 
has made his observations at Jalta, on the south-eastern coast of 
the Crimea : he enumerates 80 species, 71 of which have been ob­
served in about 150 square fathoms on stones in a depth of under 
5 feet, in the months of June and August (old style). Seven 
other species have been obtained with the surface-net of J. Miil-
ler; only two species, Portunus holsatus and Callianassa subter-
ranea, have been observed in a greater depth than 5 feet. The 
author is inclined to think the Black Sea much richer in Crus­
tacea than the Belgian shores, and even the British seas. 
Another list of Crustaceans found in the Black Sea, containing 55 species, 
some of which are new, but not described, is given by F. Marcusen in the 
same journal, pp. 177, 178. 
Twenty-nine species of Ostracoda found in various depths, from 10-250 
fathoms, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence are enumerated by Brady, I. c. pp. 450-
454; some new or remarkable species described and figured. He has also 
described in Berchon and Folin's ' Fonds de la Mer ' others from the West 
Indies, p. 191; the Cape- Verd Islands, p. 192 ; Pulo Pinang, p. 194; the Straits 
of Macjellan, pp. 198-202. 
America. A few Brazilian Crustacea are mentioned in the very prolix 
description of the Imperial and National Museum at Rio Janeiro, published

it will pass through a Phyllosoma-like stage before it acquires 
its definitive form, and that the larva, described and figured by 
Gegenbaur in the same journal, 1863, pi. 25. figs. 2 & 3, is that

ISOPODA. 
FR. MULLER proposes the following arrangement of the families 
of this order, which, he thinks, will better express the natural 
affinities between them than that used hitherto :— 
Suborder I. " SCHEERENASSELN " (Isopods with hands). 
Fam. 1. Tanaidce=Asellotes heteropodes of M.-Edwards. 
Suborder II. I S O P O D S P R O P E R . 
A. Walking Isopods, I. marcheurs, M.-Edw. 
a. Ligioids: Fam. 2. Bopyridce. 
3. Oniscidce. 
b. Aselloids : 4. Asellidee=Asellotes homopodes of M.-Edw. 
5. Idoteidce. 
B. Swimming Isopods, I. nageurs, M.-Edw. 
Fam. 6. Cymothoidce. 
7. Sphceromidce. 
? 8. Pranizidce. 
Fr. Muller, Jen. Z. Nat. vi. pp. 66-68. 
IDOTEIDCE. 
Idotea tricuspidata, Desm.,=basteri, Audouin, H&thike,=acuminata, Eich-
198 CRUSTACEA. 
wald, and I. capito, Ra,thke,=appendiculata, Risso,=lanceolata, Risso, both in 
the Black Sea, Czerniavski, I. c. pp. 83, 84. 
TANAIDJE. 
Tanais vittatus, Rathke, from Millport: the anatomy of the 
adult animal and the development of the embryo has been ob­
served by A. Dohrn, Jen. Z. Nat. v. pp. 293-305, pis. 11 and 12. 
There are points of similarity in the development with that of 
Asellus, of Oniscus, and even of Cuma, but also some important 
differences. The maxillipeds and pereiopods are growing in the 
direction towards the back; and the pleopods make their appear­
ance very late. The eyes are formed close to the median line 
of the head, and are stalked. The maxillipeds attain a very 
great development; but the second maxilla? remain rudimentary; 
hence some difficulties. The branchial appendix is independent 
of the second maxilla in its first appearance, and is moved by a 
peculiar muscular apparatus, somewhat analogous to the gills of 
Cuma. The foliaceous appendages of the embryo of Asellus 
are represented in that of Tanais by conical lateral processes 
between the larval membrane and the hepatic region of the 
embryo, which disappear in the course of development. 
Leptochelia. The pleopods of the anterior pairs have a lateral branch. 
L. edwardsii (Kroyer), Black Sea, described by Czerniavski, /. c. p. 86, 
Paratanais savignyi (Kroyer) described from the Black Sea by the same, 
p. 88; he admits that it may probably be the female of the preceding. 
iEGIDJE. 
Slabberina gracilis (G. 0. Sars), islands of East Friesland, on the strand 
in tidal rills, shortly described by A. Metzger, I. c. p. 32. 
Helleria, gen. nov. [Name twice preoccupied among the Crustacea; see 
Zool. Rec. v. pp. 520, 522.] Near Eurydice, Leach; body elongated, head 
large, prominent; eyes large; six abdominal segments, the last large, tri­
angular, rounded. Inner antennae shorter, outer long. First pair of feet with a 
feeble hand (chela). H pontica, sp. n., Czerniavski, I. c. p. 81, pi. 6. figs. 4-6. 
[The description is very imperfect; as the other pairs of thoracic feet are not 
mentioned or figured, its relation to known genera cannot be made out.] 
CYMOTHOID.E. 
Licoueea taurica, sp. n., Czerniavski, I. c. p. 129, Crimea. 
BOPYRIDJE. 
F. M U L L E R {I. c.) distinguishes the following subdivisions in 
this family:— 
1. • Fixed externally on the abdomen or the branchial cavity 
of Decapods; the young individuals have all the thoracic feet 
similarly formed, and an unequal styliform appendage at the 
hinder extremity Bopyrus, lone, Phryxus, Gyge, Athelgus, 
&c, which may all be reunited into one genus. 
LJEMODIPODA. 199 
2. Living within the thoracic cavity of some Brachynra and 
of Porcellana; the last pair of thoracic feet in the larva much 
longer and differently formed; the abdominal feet of the larva 
one-branched. Entoniscus. 
3. Living on Cirripeds. Cryptoniscus, Darwin, including 
Liriope, Rathke. 
4. Parasitical on Copepods; the third pair of thoracic feet 
longer than the other, and terminating in an oval lamella, by 
which the animal fixes itself on its host. Microniscus, gen. nov. 
Bopyrus resupinatus, sp. n., found in a Pagurid in Southern Brazil, and 
described by Fr. Muller, /. c. pp. 57-60, pi. 3. figs. 4-9; it feeds on Sacculina 
purpurea, Fr. Miill, which is a parasite of the same Pagurid, and it belongs 
to the subgenus lone. Four other species found in Leptograpsus, Porcellana, 
Alpheus, and Hippolyte, ibid. p. 68. 
Bopyrus ocellatus, sp. n., Czerniavski, I. c. p. 79, pi. 6. figs. 1-3, Black 
Sea, in the gill-cavity of Virbius gracilis, Heller. 
Cryptothiria pygmcea (Rathke), the male found free swimming far from 
the shore in the Black Sea by Czerniavski, ibid. p. 78. 
Entoniscus porcellance and cancrorum, spp. nn., found in different species 
of Porcellana, Xantho, and Achceus, in Southern Brazil, and shortly described 
by Fr. Muller, I. c. pp. 53-56, pi 3. figs. 1-3. 
Cryptoniscus planarioides, sp. n., in the same Pagurid with Bopyrus resu­
pinatus, described and figured by Fr. Muller, I. c. pp. 61-64, pi 4. figs. 12-19. 
Microniscus fuscus, sp. n., on the back of a Copepod, ibid. p. 65, pi 4. fig. 20. 
PHYLLOPODA. 
V E R R I L L {I. c.) gives a fuller account of his researches on 
Branchipus and Artemia (Zool. Rec. vi. p. 617). B. vernalis, 
Verrill, is made the type of a new generic division, Eubranchipus; 
Heterobranchipus, Verrill, is recognized as = Streptocephalus, 
Baird, 1854. 
CLADOCERA. 
DAPHNIIDjE. 
The morphology of the hard parts, the process of moulting, 
and the description of venous sinuses are noticed by F. P L A T E A U , 
M e m . Ac. Belg. xxxv.; abstract in Ann. N . H. (4) v. p. 367. 
Hyalosoma, gen. nov., described by Nic. Wagner in Russian, in 'Trans. 
Russ. Natur. S. Pet.' H. dux, sp. n., pp. 218-238, pis. 1-4,1868. H e says 
that it is distinguished from all known Daphniida? by the solidity of its test, 
the lengthened form of its body, the strong jaws, six pairs of strong feet, and 
the articulated postabdomen. Its biological functions, however, are not in 
accordance with this high degree of morphological development; the intes­
tinal tract is a simple tube, wanting the hepatic sacs; the postabdomen is 
not used as an organ for swimming, the feet are nearly immobile and quasi 
" petrified," and it moves slowly on the m u d at the depth of about two feet; 
it has been found in the lake Boltschoi-Kaban, near Kasan, in July. The 
200 CRUSTACEA. 
author puts it forward as a striking example of morphological progress with­
out adaptative modification, and therefore destined to disappear!

Each eye has its proper optic ganglion. The heart, the genital 
orifices, and the glands by which the ovisac is formed are de­
scribed. Electrical discharges of moderate intensity do not kill 
the animal, but make it motionless for some time. Cyclops

SIPHONOSTOMA. 
The parasitical Crustacea living on Annelids have been among 
the last subjects of study to two observers of first rank, both now 
deceased, M . S A R S and E. C L A P A R E D E . The latter has revised 
the known genera from the original descriptions, and in com­
parison with his own observations. H e arranges them as 
follows:— 
1. PcecUostoma, Thorell (Ergasilidce) :—Selius, Kroyer, 1837; Terebellicola, 
Sars, 1861; SabelliphUus, Sars, 1861; Chonephilus, Sars, 1861. 
2. Siphonostoma proper ( Caligidce and Lernceidce):—Silenium, Kroyer, 1863; 
Herpyllobius, Steenstrup and Liitken, 1861, perhaps the same as the pre­
ceding ; Sabellacheres, Sars, 1861; Nereieola, Keferstein, 1863; and Che-
lonidiformis, Hesse, 1869. Ann. Sc. Nat. (5) xiii. pp. 1-9. M. Sars adds 
two new genera, and identifies Selius with Silenium, Kundsk. Christ. Faun.

unequal size, and terminated by sharp points; abdomen prominent, sacciform; 
matrical apertures very large; two oval ovisacs.—Ch. typicus, sp. n., found 
fixed on fragments of Arenicola pisqatovum on the [northern P] coast of France. 
The author proposes for it a new family, with the name " Annelidicoles." 
ANTHEACHERIDJE. 
M . SARS, Kundsk. Christ. Fauna, pp. 37-41, proposes this new 
family on the following characters :—Body of the females thick, 
divided into distinct segments, which, however, are immobile; 
feet rudimentary. The animals live parasitically, feeding on the 
blood of other animals, for example, Actinia?, and even fishes, 
but are not affixed to them. The males are not so much smaller 
than the females as in the Lerna?ida?. To it belong Staurosoma, 
"Will., Antheacheres, Sars, 1856, and Philichthys, Steenst. 1861.

toriis nullis.—M. ergasiloides, sp. n., Drobak, near Christiania, on the bristle-
bearing appendices of Melinna (Sabellidcs) cristata. This genus is interme­
diate between the Caligida? and Lernseida?, or, as the author says, a Lernafid

Jan. 1870, pp. 39-41, pi. 5. He did not know that it was described, but for­
tunately did not rename it. He also describes the male, before unknown; it 
has two pairs of feet and a caudal fork.

Zemeeocera barnimii, sp. n., Hartmann, Arch. Anat. Phys. 1870,pp. 726-
752, pis. 17, 18. Fixed on the scales of Labeo niloticus in the Nile. It has 
five pairs of natatorial feet, the four anterior pairs bearing two, the last one 
branch; the chMnous integument is traversed by numerous microscopical 
channels, which are not in connexion with any gland, and do not perforate 
the "hypodermis;" the musculature, the maxilla?, the intestinal tract, the 
ovaries, and the embryos, which are similar to those of Cyclops, are de­
scribed. A previous notice on the same subject is given in SB. nat. Fr. 1870, 
p. 60, where it is also remarked that similar channels within the chitinous 
integument have been observed in Cecrops and Caliopus. 
Lerncea branchialis (L.). A. Metzger, referring to his former paper on the 
subject (see Record, vol. iv.), states that the former Cyclops-like stages of 
this animal are found frequent on the gills of Pleuronectes fiesus, the transi­
tional stages to the later form of the female on Cyclopterus lumpus, Gadus 
merlangus and morrhua, in February and March, on the coast of East Fries­
land. JB. Ges. Hannov. no. xx. for 1869-70, p. 33. 
CIRRIPEDIA. 
Prof. CLAUSES researches into the second or pupa-stage of Cir-
ripeds, when they somewhat resemble Ostracods, for the most 
part confirm D A R W I N ' S , especially in some points on which 
P A G E N S T E C H E R (Z. wiss. Zool. 1863) expressed a different opi­
nion; but, in interpreting the homology of the appendicular 
organs, Claus urges that the frontal processes which fix the 
animal are not homologous to antenna?, because in the larva? of 
the lower Crustaceans the latter generally appear as natatorial 
feet. The first unbranched pair of natatorial feet is homologous 
to the first pair of antenna?, and the second pair of feet with two 
branches to the second pair of antenna?, but the homology of the 
third pair of feet to the maxillary organs is still to be made out. 
The six pairs of cirrated feet of the perfect Cirriped are homo­
logous to the five pairs of natatorial feet, and to the protuber­
ance of the genital segment of the perfect Copepod. The ner­
vous system of the larva is described; and the conical protuberance 
in front is said to be a sensitive organ, and is identified with the 
opening of Darwin's auditory organ. The cement-glands and 
their excretory ducts are less developed in Lepas pectinata and 
L. fascicularis (pi. 1. f. 2) than in Conchoderma virgatum (pi. 1. 
f. 3), and in another larva of large size, which is not systema­
tically determined, but furnished the chief material of this paper, 
and is figured. Schr. Ges. Marb. v. (1869) Suppl. pp. 1-17,

Balbiani opposes, and Van Beneden maintains, that the polar cellula is de­
tached from the mature egg, and remains within the ovary, giving origin to 
a new egg, and that there is no other second vesicle near the vesicle of Pur-
kinje in the egg of Saceulina. C. R. 1870, pp. 197-199.

LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. 209. 
CAMBRIDGE, O. P. Bibliographical Notice. Ann. N. H. Nov. 
1870, pp. 414-417. 
Reviews and criticises T. Thorell's work on European Spiders, Part I., 
N. Act. Ups. (3) vii. fasc. i. & ii. (and Zool. Rec. vi. p. 143), shows that the 
fam. Omanoidce, Thor., is based on a misconception as to the identity of 
QLcobius navus (Blackw.); states that the character of geometric web-
spinning is not an unvarying one in the Epeirides, nor the possession of but 
two terminal tarsal claws invariable in the Thomisides—Arcys, Walck., an 
acknowledged Thomisid, having three. A striking and hitherto unnoticed 
character of Palpimanus, Dufour, is stated to be the possession of but two 
spinners. The propriety is questioned of founding a new family, Otiothopoidce, 
for Otiothops, Macleay (which is exceedingly closely allied to Palpimanus, 
Duf.), merely on account of an abnormal number of joints in the legs of 
the first pair. This character, as in Hersiliola, Thorell,=Hersiliada (Simon), 
is considered only generic.

Nos. 1 & 2, pp. 1-228. Upsala, London & Berlin. No. 1, 
1870; No. 2, 1871. 
This important work (not yet complete) is, in fact, a continuation of that 
by the same author, on European Spiders (vide Zool. Rec. vi. p. 143), 
which thus forms the introduction to the present work (conf. Thorell, Europ. 
Spid. p. 234, note). As the object of that was to review the genera of 
European spiders, so the object of the present is to examine and, as far as 
possible, determine the synonyms, and thus " to fix the momenclature of 
the spiders described in Westring's ' Aranea? Suecica?,' as also of some other 
European species, partly described in the 'History of British and Irish 
Spiders,' by J. Blackwall, London, 1861-64, partly registered in the ' Cata-
loque synonymique des Araneides d'Europe,' given by M. Eugene Simon in 
his ' Histoire Naturelle des Araignees,' Paris, 1864." 
In the present numbers (1 & 2), which deal primarily with Westring's 
genera and species, as far as and including Sparassus, the author's proposition 
has been admirably carried out. The greatest care and honesty has been used 
in determining the identity of species described by various authors ; descrip­
tions as well as typical examples from different parts of Europe have been 
compared with great pains and acumen ; the specific as well as generic names 
which the author conceives to have the priority are in each case placed 
within brackets immediately after the name borne by the genus or species in 
the work primarily under review; and not the least valuable part of the lists 
of synonyms is the date, prefixed to each (both genus and species), at which 
212 ARACHNIDA. 
the name was published, showing at a glance the evidence on which priority 
has been determined. This work is quite indispensable to the student of 
European spiders.

extremities, and strongly inclined towards the labium, which is semicircular. 
Leys very long, slender, relative length 1, 2, 4,3,—1 and 2 greatly exceeding 
the rest. On the anterior side of the tibia and metatarsi of the 1st and 2nd 
pairs is a series of long, prominent, slightly curved spines, and in the inter­
vals between these is a row of shorter spines, curved, and gradually increasing 
in length as they extend down the joints.—C. monticola, sp. n., Sicily, J. 
Blackwall, Ann. N. H. (4) v. p. 401, pi viii. fig. 6. 
Blackwall remarks (I. c. p. 402) that this genus and Galena, C. Koch, 
nearly allied, are closely related to the Theridiides, and should occupy a 
position intermediate between them and the Epeirides; but [which is not so 
obvious] Mr. Blackwall thinks that these two genera constitute a family, 
for which (I. c.) he proposes the name Ctenoplioridce.

very unequal in length, extended straight fore and aft, peculiarly articulated 
on the lower surface of cephalothorax, without any sternal plate; relative 
length 1, 4, 2, 3; tarsi end with three strongly curved claws, each differently 
dentated; a strong calamistrum on the upper surface of the metatarsi of the

Falces small and projecting. Maxillce long, tolerably strong, slightly inclined 
to labium, ohliquely rounded at their outer extremities, where they are also 
a little enlarged. Labium elongate, pointed at apex. Abdomen long, nar­
row, enlarged towards the middle. Spinners 6, in three pairs, with an extra 
spinning-organ beneath; this last has no trace of being (as in some other

In the introductory remarks to the above, Cambridge observes that, while 
not then sufficiently assured upon the affinities of Miagrammopes to found a 
new family upon it, it was difficult to include it in any family hitherto cha­
racterized. [Subsequent investigation has suggested the necessity of founding 
the family Miaarammopides upon this most remarkable spider.] 
STEPHANOPIDES. 
Stephanopis cambridgii, sp. n., N e w Holland: T. Thorell, Gilfv. Vet. Akad.

(see Eur. Spid. i. p. 170, note 2). [The spiders of this genus appear not to 
be laterigrade, with which Thorell agrees, " pedes vix laterigradi" (CEfv. 
Sv. Ak. 1870, p. 379). For this and other reasons it must at present form a 
family by itself.] 
THOMISIDES. 
Phycus, g. n. Cephalothorax small, broad-oval; caput large and elevated. 
Eyes 8, large, in two transverse curved rows, occupying the whole width of 
the upper fore part of caput, in form of a crescent, whose horns point back­
wards. Abdomen large, short, oval or heart-shaped, and projecting greatly 
over the base of the cephalothorax. Legs short, strong, armed with long 
slender spines and bristles; tarsi end with three claws. Maxillm moderately

Miocene of the extreme north belong to the same genera as those 
which now inhabit the North of Europe, Asia, and America 
(e. g. Trogosita and Pentatoma), or to genera and species resem­
bling those of the present epoch, such as Chrysomelites fabricii

This appears to be the substance of a discourse delivered by 
Dr. Anton Dohrn at Innsbruck in 1869 on the bearing of the 
fundamental principles of the development of the ovum upon 
the classification of insects, especially testing Gerstacker's 
system by the application of a scheme according to which all 
insects are divided into two sections :—one, Ectoblasta, in which 
the covering of embryonic cells becomes increased at one spot, 
and thence spreads over a large part of the circumference of the 
yelk, which becomes entirely surrounded by germinal shoots; 
the other, Endoblasta, in which the increase is directed inwards 
to the centre of the egg, so that the germinal shoots are sur­
rounded by yelk.

This is the natural-history result of an excursion taken in

attention to the Crustacea. Observations are contained in it on 
the geographical distribution of Acanthia lectularia, Pulex irri-
tans, Blatta germanica, and Periplaneta orientalis (a quartette 
suggestive of comfort to the traveller!), andMyrmeleonformi-
carius, and especially on the number of Phryganidee. It also

Treats of three known parasites of Galleruca xanthomeleena 
(cahnuriensis) : — 1 , a Dipteron ; 2, a microscopic Hymenopteron 
(" Vespa") ; and, 3, one of the Braconides or Ichneumonides, 
named provisionally (not described in any way) Ichneumon gal-
lerucarum; also of two other species, similarly parasitic, one a 
Dipteron already described by R. Desvoidy, the other ascribed 
to Pteromalus by Fonscolombe, under the name gallerucee, but 
for which the author creates a new genus.

of the economy and excellent figures of American gall-producing insects of 
various orders (chiefly Hymenoptera and Diptera) and of their galls. Some

L I C H T E N S T E I N (Pet. Nouv. 17. p. 65) suggests a trinomial scheme of 
scientific nomenclature, wishing the old name of the genus to be retained, as 
well as the modern. Ragonot, ibid. 18. p. 70, urges objections to this, and 
would prefer to use as a generic name an equivalent for the ' subdivision' 
in which any species is placed—e. g. ' Carabus' spiinibavbis for Leistus, Leistus 
being in the Carabidce.

cally. Tr. E. Soc. 1870, pp. 41-52 (1735-1801), pp. 213-

The author considers that a genus consists of but one species 
necessarily, viz. its type ; and is therefore not defined by variable 
characters, but by knowledge of type species ; hence, that genera 
proposed in catalogues on previously described spp. are entitled 
to priority. He points out many errors in dates. The present 
portions conclude with the genera of Dejean and his contempo­
raries, and the author hopes in a third part to carry the work 
down to the commencement of the ' BerichteJ in 1836.

Portugal und den Cantabrischen Gebirgen, — mit Beschrei-
bungen der neuen Arten. B. E. Z. xiv. 1870 (Beiheft), 
pp. 1-176, Taf. ii. 
The first part, pp. 1-56, contains accounts of various journeys 
by v. Heyden in the above-mentioned parts of Spain and Por­
tugal, with notes of the exact localities of the insects observed. 
These are almost entirely Coleoptera, though some few names of 
Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, and Diptera are mentioned; the He­
miptera are to be described hereafter by Kirschbaum. The 
second part, pp. 57 (75 in error) -176, contains descriptions of 
new species, 141 in number, found in these journeys by v. 
Heyden and others : the descriptions are by v. Heyden, Dieck, 
v. Kiesenwetter, Scriba, Kraatz, de Saulcy, v. Harold, Desbr. 
des Loges, Haag, Seidlitz, Allard, Ch. Brisout, andKirsch (some 
of those described by Dieck and Seidlitz are also referred to by 
those authors in other papers of the same publication for 1870). 
Three new genera are characterized, by v. Heyden, Kraatz and 
Dieck, and another is indicated by de Saulcy; and various ob­
servations are made upon species already recorded from the above 
localities. Two new species of Choleva are also described (in a 
note) by Kraatz, from Greece. At the end of the same Beiheft, 
pp. 211, 212, are descriptions by Loew of 5 new species of Diptera 
(gen. Oxycera, Opsebius, Heteropogon, Holopogon, and Stenopo-
gon), which, from their localities, their capture by v. Heyden, and 
the quotation of Loew's name on the title of v. Heyden's paper, 
would seem to have been intended to be included in the latter. 
The plate (ii.) contains outline figures of 7 of the most pro­
minent of the species described, with some details.

. O n the Geographical Relations of the chief Coleopterous 
Fauna?. P. L. S.xi. no. 49, pp. 89. 
The author's view of geographical distribution indicates a somewhat dif­
ferent original arrangement of land and water from that usually accepted. 
H e considers that all Coleoptera in the world are referable to one or other of 
three great stirpes, which, in his opinion, sprung from one stirps, and have 
acquired distinguishing features by long isolation and changes in condition of 
life. These three stirpes are:—1, the Lido-African; 2, the Brazilian; and, 
8, the ' microtypal' (so termed on account of its not containing such large or 
conspicuous insects as the others, and of which the English fauna and flora 
are stated to be standard types). The Indo-African stirps inhabits Africa 
south of the Sahara, India and China south of the Himalayas, the Malayan 
district, the Lidian archipelago, and the N e w Guinea group, and is less m o ­
dified by foreign elements than the next stirps. The Brazilian stirps inhabits 
244 INSECTA, COLEOPTERA. 
South and Central America east of the Andes and north of the River Plate, 
and furnishes a large share in the constitution of North America, receiving in 
turn a very perceptible tinge from the microtypal stirps. The microtypal 
stirps includes Europe, Asia north of the Himalayas, Eastern North America 
(so far as not modified by the Brazilian element), and (in a less degree) North­
west America, California, part of Mexico, Peru, Chili, the Argentine Re­
public south of Tucuman, Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, Polynesia, N e w Zea­
land, and Australia. The apparent paradox of including the first and last of 
these countries in the same stirps is endeavoured to be accounted for by the 
inference, from the fact of the Eocene flora of Europe having many points of 
correlation with the present Australian flora, and from the author's supposition 
of the probability of the European Eocene beetle-fauna having been the same 
as the Miocene (based upon Heer's proof that the Miocene beetle-fauna of 
Europe was of the same type as at present), that the Eocene fauna of Em-ope 
has (like the Eocene flora of Australia) survived in its Eocene form down to 
the present day. The author's conviction is that there have been almost cer­
tainly two great continental routes of communication between the northern 
and southern hemispheres—one now at the bottom of the Pacific, the other 
of the Atlantic. The beetle-fauna? of the Madeiran Isles and of the Azores, as 
enumerated by Wollaston and Crotch, are considered substantially to corro­
borate the microtypal stirps, the European element (hitherto held to have 
been introduced) being treated as natural denizens. The entire fauna of St. 
Helena is discussed at some length (the -author admitting that that island is 
the crucial test of his hypothesis of a communication between the northern 
and southern hemispheres by an Atlantic continent), and is regarded as be­
longing to the Atlantic subfauna of the microtypal stirps. Eastward, this 
stirps is traced through Siberia, China (due stress being given to the preva­
lence there of European forms), and Japan (where, however, as in China, the 
Hymenoptera are wholly different from the European type), to North America, 
thence, vid California, to Mexico and the other South-American countries 
above mentioned. Coast- and cave-beetles, and the occasional occurrence 
of European genera, are relied upon as strong evidence of all these belong­
ing to the same stirps,—the occurrence of South-African forms in South 
America being accounted for by a submerged Patagonian continent, which 
may have existed at three different epochs. The non-coral isles of Polynesia 
are claimed as microtypal, again chiefly on the ground of their possessing 
British forms ; and the European affinities of a very considerable portion of 
the ingredients of the Coleopterous fauna of Australia are stated to be with­
out doubt,—some peculiarly Australian forms being also thought to be local 
representatives of South-American (and therefore) European races. The 
common want of certain conspicuous families or genera by Australia and the 
microtypal stirps in other countries is relied upon by the author as a 
connecting link; and the Miocene epoch supplies some missing forms. 
A s regards the Indo-African stirps, the author's chief points are his present 
conviction (opposed to Wallace's opinion) that the Coleoptera of the New-
Guinea islands are essentially Indo-Malayan,—that, although Africa (south of 
the Sahara) is better entitled to claim rank as a separate province than India, 
there was but one original stock for both, as most of the genera occurring in 
one are found, under suitable conditions, in the other, and some large groups 
(e. g. Staphyliuidce) are absent in both of them,—that Africa was disjoined

from India before receiving such Australian types as occur at the Cape of 
Good Hope, and before the introduction of certain microtypal species referred 
to by the author,—that an important infusion of the Brazilian type in the 
West-African fauna (cf. Appendix) justifies his belief that Brazil and West 
Africa were formerly united (contrary to Bentham's expressed opinion),—and 
that the existence in Madagascar of a double fauna, one African and the other 
American, is to be accounted for by the conjecture that, when communication 
between the last Patagonia but one (for the author needs three successive 
and different countries in that quarter to carry out his theory) and the Cape 
was interrupted by the submergence of a continent, a broad raised ridge sur­
vived, running from Rio Janeiro obliquely across the Atlantic to a point a 
little to the south of the Cape of Good Hope, and thence to Madagascar; 
and this convenient ridge appears in the map of the Atlantic-bed in Keith 
Johnston's ' Physical Atlas.' 
The Brazilian stirps appears to be more intelligible, its great difficulty, viz. 
the supposed connexion with Africa, being explained as above. The author 
considers that the large and splendid exponents of microtypal forms found in 
Brazil are due to superadded brilliancy consequent upon the special condi­
tions of the locality. H e does not, however, seem inclined to allow a 
similar agency to the microtypal forms occurring in China, Japan, and other 
countries, equally likely, judging from their undoubtedly indigenous species, 
to foster a similar development. 
Tables are given, showing :—I. the actual present distribution of existing 
genera of Coleoptera (113), Orihoptera (6), Neuroptera (10), Hymenoptera (16), 
Lepidoptera (2), Diptera (18), Hemiptera (30), Homoptera (12), Arachnoidea 
(3), Crustacea (1), and Polypi (2) that have been recorded as Miocene;

middle and eastern portions of Polynesia; III. the relations of genera of New-
Caledonian Coleoptera (Montrouzier) ; with lists of non-microtypal Polyne­
sian species and their sources,—of genera and species found in Europa?o-
Asiatic regions and also in North-western America, but not in North-eastern 
America,—and of genera of Old Calabar, either Brazilian or with Brazilian 
affinities.

few new genera and some new species, and gives some original 
synonymy and observations upon rare or recently described spe­

The author notes the confusion of analogies with affinities in 
the classification of this group; and, considering that no adequate 
genera have been erected for the reception of the numerous 
species discovered since the time of Schonherr, has selected 
indiscriminately as types of new genera such remarkable or ob­
scure species as do not afford a ready clue to their systematic 
position. H e also describes hew species of recorded genera, 
and follows Lacordaire's arrangement, without adopting his 
"groupes," and converting his "tribus" into subfamilies. These 
subfamilies, 82 in number, are divided by the author into seven

1868, pp. 144. 
The long-needed continuation of the first vol. of this well 
known work, comprising the Dytiscidce, and undertaken by the 
late Dr. Schaum, has been completed from his M S . by v. Kiesen­
wetter. The Haliplides, Pelobiides, Hydroporides, and Agabi 
appear to be almost entirely due to Schaum, the Gyrinidee to 
v. Kiesenwetter, and all the rest to both authors in common. 
One new genus is characterized, two new spp. are described, and 
some changes in nomenclature (Stephensian names being in some 
cases allowed their due priority) are made in it. 
The descriptions seem rather more hurried than those of the 
preceding volumes of this work.

LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. 251 
After a short geographical outline of the districts from which 
the author has received his material, he notes as a phenomenon 
the extreme extension of tropical forms towards the north in 
Russian Asia, and the immediate contact of those forms with 
others essentially boreal; also the occurrence of several Japanese 
spp., and the existence of forms so close to well-known European 
insects that it is difficult to determine their specific value. 
Many known species are recorded, and one new genus and 
thirteen new spp. described,—some of Motschoulsky's and 
Mannerheim's species being also redescribed, and some original 
synonymy given.

BETHUNE (Canad. Ent. ii. pp. 76-82, 89-93,105-110,142-145, 168-176) 
reproduces the descriptions of species from Kirby's ' Fauna Boreali-Ameri­
cana,' with a few notes. The Carabidce are completed in this vol. 
A B . D E P E R R I N (Pet. Nouv. xvi. p. 61) criticises Stein's Catalogue, espe­
cially as to Anophthalmia and the Malaehides. 
R E I O H E (NOUV. et faits div. p. vi) dissents from Chaudoir's views upon 
certain Carabidce published in L'Ab. vi. pp. 148-150. 
P A S C O E (P. L. S. x. p. 459 and note) refers to substances growing on the 
external surface of certain Curculionidce and of one of the Heteromera 
(Saragusfioccosus) recently described by him. The flocculence on the latter 
has been pronounced by Currey to be an undoubted fungus of the genus 
Isaria; and the insect is stated by its captor to have been taken on trees 
covered with a similar white lichen. Carruthers, on the other hand, con­
siders the substance to be a grumous mass, with no trace of a mycological 
character (cf. Zool. Rec. vi. p. 180). 
W A L S H (Amer. Ent. & Bot. ii. p. 298) records Chramerus icoriee (Lee), 
a Magdalinus allied to barbitus (Say), and Cis ? pumicatus (Mell.) as bred 
by him from fungus on the Pig-nut Hickory (Carya glabra) in N. America. 
Extracts from a paper by Huntley, entitled " Remarks on some of the 
Coleopterous insects which injure fruit- and other trees in the neighbour­
hood of Wellington," are given in Tr. N. Z. Inst. i. p. 29.

Catops u-atsoni, and ten specimens of a Homalota found in a dead Ceramhyx. 
O B E R T H U R (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4e ser. x. Bull. p. xlix) records large 
quantities of Coleoptera flying near or running on the surface of the ground 
close to the crater of Vesuvius, and suffocated in small holes exhaling hot 
sulphurous vapour. Emery (Pet. Nouv. 26, p. 104) recapitulates the prior 
accounts of Costa and Carusi on the same subject. 
B U T L E R (Ent. M. M. vii. p. 59) records Spaight's evidence of certain large 
Lucanidce and Longicornia at Moultan, N. India, habitually sawing off small 
branches of trees in order to get at the exuding sap. 
P E R R I S (NOUV. et faits div. p. xi) adds Eucinetus meridionalis, Elater niger-
rimus, Dorcatoma setosella, Pogonocherus decoratus, and Asemum striatum to 
his list of insects infesting Pinus maritima. 
For notes by Gilnicki on the beetles of the cave of Punto, cf Bull. Ent. 
Ital. ii. p. 295. The same author (Pet. Nouv. 25, p. 100) makes some ob­

B O N V O U L O I R (ibid. 28, p. Ill) adds his experiences on the same subject. 
J O S E P H (JB. schles. Ges. xlvii. pp. 169-172) discusses the distribution of 
species in different caves of Carinthia, and their general geographical exten­
sion ; he also notes certain facts concerning cave-insects which appear to 
contradict the theory of descent, being of opinion that Darwin's acceptance 
of the descent of eyeless subterraneous spp. from eyed upper-world insects is 
as yet supported by no single fact. 
P E T T I T T (Canad. Ent. ii. pp. 53, 65, 84, 102, 117, 131, 151) continues his 
list of Coleoptera from Ontario, from the Hgdradephaga to the Bhynchophora 
inclusive, containing several spp. not previously recorded in the Canadian 
lists ; and (/. c. p. 156) records the result of sifting for beetles at Ontario.

Harpalides. 
A larva, supposed to be that of Harpalus pennsylvanicus (De G.), is figured 
and described in detail in Amer. Ent. i. p. 34, f. 26. It feeds upon the larvae 
of the "plum curculio'' (Conotrachelus nenuphar). 
Harpalus caliginosus, Say, is noted as a vegetable feeder, Amer. Ent. i. 
p. 80.

Feroniades. 
K R A A T Z (B. E. Z. xiv. pp. 221-229) reviews the spp. of Feronia (Pcecilus) 
confused with and allied to cuprea (L.). He considers Thomson's puncticeps 
the typical cuprea (L.), to which also, as varieties, must be referred beryllina 
and viridis, Preller, cursovia, Heer, ergthropus, Fald., affinis (Sturm), ana-
tolica, Chaud., and possibly rcichii, Waltl [nee rcichei, as in de Mars, and 
Gem. & v. Har.]. The pauciseta of Thomson he identifies with the hitherto 
unintelligible versicolor of Sturm (by means solely of Sturm's figure), and to 
that insect attributes as vars. cupveeoides, Heer, and subcyanea, Preller. To 
cursoria, Dej., he refers festiva (Kinderm. ined.) and, with doubt, cyanella, 
Reiche, both from Asia Minor, as vars. ; and to quadricollis, Dej., he attri­
butes cyanea, Gory, as a syn. Kraatz also refers to P. anatolicus, Chaud., 
and viciniis, Levrat, and F. veicheiana, Peyr., and demurs to P. crenato-
striatus, Chaud., being sunk by Gemm. & v. Harold as a var. of crenatus, 
Dej., thinking, however, that it is not separable specifically from lugubris, 
Dej. (=pu>ictifrons, Chaud.). 
B A L L I O X (Bull. Mose xiii. p. 212) objects to Gemm. & v. Harold's refer­
ence of Feronia (Pane.) nitens, Chaud., to lepida (F.) as a var.; if not of 
specific value, Chaudoir's insect should be referred to leevicollis, Chaud. 
G. D E S C O T T E S (Mitth. schw. ent. Ges. iii. pp. 297-305) redescribes nine 
spp. of Orthomus, which he considers entitled to separate generic rank from 
Feronia. 
D I E C K (B. E. Z. xiv. Beiheft, p. 01, and note) describes a var. of Platy-
derus dilutatus from Algesiras, under the name of a/gesiranus, and hints a 
belief that connecting links between P. dilutatus and ruficollis may be found, 
AS he has taken an intermediate form between lusitanicus and vurians [appa­
rently not being aware that the latter has for some years been sunk as a 
var. of lusitanicus]. 
Abacetus. Chaudoir (Bull. Mose xiii. pp. 355-400) monographs the spp. 
of this genus, describing many new spp., and rejecting the older name 
Diccelindus (M'Leay), of which Schaum has stated the type to be an Aba­
cetus, and to be in Brit. Mus., as M'Leay's types are in E. India Mus., and 
the description does not substantiate the proposition. Distrigus costatus, 
*Swm.,=A. atratus, Dej.; A. percoides, Fairm., is altered to percosioides; 
Astygis ciquicollis, ^ loti.,=Ab.sa/zmaniii (Germ.) ; A. viridulus, Fairm., is pos­
sibly to be referred to Distrigus madagascariensis, Dej.; A. elongatus, Fairm., 
is changed to leevicollis; Distrigus submelallioiis, Nietn., =A. antiqum, Dej. ;

neously referred by D u Val to B. preeustum, Dej. (=siculum, Dej., var.). 
T H O M S O N (Opuse Ent. fasc. ii. p. 124) records Bembidium clarkii, Daws., 
from Sweden. 
G. D E S C O T T E S (Mitth. schw. ent. Ges. iii. p. 264) makes the following 
observations upon the 4-spotted group of Tachys :—T. tetraspilota (sibi) = 
diabrachys, Kolen., and is perfectly distinct from T. 4-signata [but cf. Des 
Cottes, ibid. p. 133, where he himself identifies these two insects] ; De Mar-
seul, moreover, is wrong in uniting tetraspilota to angustata (Dej.). A new 
species, from Corsica, is indicated, under the name Corsica. T. anomala, 
Kolen., has nothing to do with T. angustata, with which de Mars, associates 
it, whereas T. Q-striata (Dufts.) should have priority.

spp. of Hydroporus, giving a table of their vertical distribution. He makes 
many observations upon Thomson's species. 
K R A A T Z (B. E. Z. xiv. Beih. p. 60) notes Hydroporus formosus, AubtS, 
from Andalusia, and points out its diagnostic characters, as compared with 
H. lepidus. He corrects the erroneous reference to it as a syn. of lepidus 
in Stein's Cat., and a wrong citation in Olivier's text for the latter; also an 
erroneous reference of H formosus to Chevrolat by De Marseul. He gives 
Andalusia and Tangiers as localities for H. pallidus, Aub6, and remarks 
upon the differences between that sp. and H. confiuens. 
v. R O T T E N B E R G (B. E. Z. xiv. p. 21) notes a Sicilian var. of Hydroporus

of A. marina ; but he does not state in what publication, and the Recorder 
has failed to find any such description or name in that year. Fauvel also 
states that the insect belongs to the Oxytelides, near Thinobius, and not to 
the Aleoeharides, as Sharp considers. It is to be hoped that he is more accu­
rate in his date than in this utterly erroneous statement. H e has found the

by the more slender penult, joint of its max. palpi, and its short and thick 
antennae, this genus is stated by Kraatz (ibid. p. 176) to be most closely 
allied to his Oxysoma. N o examination appears to have been made of the

mcenus, a generally less angular form, more strongly punctured and more 
evenly pubescent surface ; a cordate thorax, more convex in front, with large 
basal foveoke, and ant. tibiae more or less triangularly dilated. The well-
known S. godarii (Latr.), Scutellaria, and collaris may be taken as types of this 
o-enus (of which the author enumerates 26 species), which is equivalent to 
Erichson's first group.

closely allied Apobletes montrouzieri). P. ceylonicum, Mots, = motschulskyi, 
Mars.; P. semistriatum, Mots, = birmannum, Mars, see. typ.; P. marseuli, 
Caud, = odiosum, Mars, with which dissimile, Mots, is also most probably 
identical. Phelister afibiis, Lee, =solator, Mars. H e redescribes Paromalus 
parallelus (Lee), and justifies his change of that name to laterirectus; describes 
(p. 112) Saprinus strobeli [under his own name, instead of that of Steinheil, 
who first published it]; gives a synoptical table, with localities, of the 
known spp. of Paromalus (pp. 103-108); and, pp. 126-136, a supplement to 
his own Cat. of Histeridce, published in Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr., Nov. 1862.

D E M A R S E U L (Ann. E. Belg. xiii.) characterizes the following new genera 
and species:— 
Dimalus, p. 55. Evidently carnivorous, though subcortical by its build; 
mandibles very robust, pointed, each armed internally with a bifid tooth, 
which fits into that of the opposite side. Allied to Phylloma (Er.), but with 
the maxillae inserted at the back of the mentum. Sp. D. platamodes, p. 57, 
Cayenne. 
Operclipygus, pp. 75 & 76. This bastard name is indirectly proposed by 
the author as that of a genus, the characters of which are mainly deduced 
from the description of the species on which it is meant to be founded. 
Comes between Platysoma and Cylistix, having the facies of the former, but 
with the pygidium elevated and surrounded by a deep circular furrow. Sp. 
O. sulcistrius, ibid, Amazons. 
Mecistostethus, pp. 123,124. Another new genus of which the characters 
are to be deduced chiefly from the description of its single species. Resem­
bles Homalopygus and Spathonchus, but with piliferous punetures on the 
frons, an antennal depression in the prosternum, a conical mesosternum, meta-

PERRIS (L'Ab. vii. p. 35) considers the vermiform larvae found by F. Loew

as supposed, to Olibrus bicolor. The same author (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4" ser. 
ix. pp. 464-466) supplements and corrects the observations of Heeger and 
Laboulbene upon the larva of Olibrus afflnis, and records his own expe­

supina and L. spartea; and thinks Kaltenbach most probably wrong in 
stating that the larva of B. gravidas feeds on capsules of a Linavia.

M O T S C H O U L S K Y (Bull. Mose xliii. p. 18 et seq.) discusses the question as 
to the specific value of certain members of Lucanus, particularly as regards 
Kraatz's views on the point. His own opinions are apparently in favour of 
a number of distinct species, which he divides into three sections, charac­
terized respectively by the club of their antennae being composed of 4, 5, or 6 
joints. H e describes some as new, and considers Kraatz wrong in uniting 
certain forms by intermediate links and in regarding individuals taken in 
copula as belonging to the same species. H e describes (with some external 
detail in outline, pi. ii.; the following spp. as distinct:—L. cervus, L , carpa 
[sic], 01, maxillavis, Mots, from the Crimea, Hungary, & e ; europeeus,

LUCANIDiE. 279 
Lucanus hopei, Parry, sericans, "VoH.,=maculifemoratus, Mots.; Hexar-
thrius chaudoiri, Deyr., = rhinoceros (01.) : Parry, Tr. E. Soc. 1870, p. 56. 
The author recharacterizes this group, which he restricts to Mesotopus, 
Lucanus, Pseudolueanus, Bhcetus, and HexaHhrius. Pseudolueanus, proposed 
by Hope for capreolus Ch.) and atratus (Hope), is extended by him to bar-
barossa (F.) and mazama (Lee) ; figured by Parry, pi 1. f. 1; and, attri­
buting slight importance to Hope's character of the head of the 3 n°t heing 
angulated above, he considers the mandibles to afford the least variable dia­
gnostic guide for it, stating that they seldom exceed the length of the head, 
are always strongly curved, and never present more than one tooth on their 
inner edge. 
Odontolabides. 
P A R R Y (Tr. E. Soc. 1870, p. 74) considers that Odontolabis, Chalcodes, 
Heierochthes, and Neolucanus, hitherto located in the Lucanides, present suffi­
cient characters in common to distinguish them from that subfamily and 
from his Cladognathides. These characters are :—clava of ant. triarticulate, 
the leaflets being but moderately produced; clypeus remarkably small; eyes 
divided in both sexes by a canthus; ant. tibiae in $ often considerably 
curved, with variable armature, 4 post, tibiae in both sexes invariably un­
armed. The author figures (pi. iii. figs. 4, 5, 6) three forms of the mandibles 
of Odontolabis castelnaudi, Parry, and briefly recharacterizes Westwood's 
Chalcodes. Odontolabis gracilis, Kaup, = bellicosus (Lap.), var. max.; O. in-
cequalis (Ksxcp) = bicolor (01), var.; Neolucanus baladeva (Hope, Odont.) 
and angulatus (Hope)=to»ia (01.) : Parry, I. c. 
Cladognathides. 
P A R R Y (I. c. p. 75) unites Cladognathus, Psalidoremus, Metopodontus, 
Prosopocoilus, Homoderus, Cyclommatus, Prismognathus, Cantharolethrus, 
Leptinopterus, Metadorcus, g. n, and Maerocrates under this head, distin­
guishing them from the Odontolabides by their eyes never (except in 2 spp. 
of Prosopocoilus) being entirely divided by a canthus, and by the ant. tibiae. 
in S being straight, and the 4 post, tibiae variably armed in $ and uni-
dentate (except as above) in §. The invariable want of tubercles on the 
head of the female separates them from certain of the Dorcidce, to which they 
appear otherwise closely allied. 
Cladognathus impressus, C. 0. Waterh, is now ascertained to be a Meto­
podontus, and is figured pi. iii. f. 1; C. 4-nodosus, Parry, =m'clellandi, Hope,

BTJPRESTIDJE. 
E. SAUNDERS (Cat. of spp. cont. in Buprestis, Linn. &c.) gives 
a list of the species contained in the genus Buprestis of Linnaeus 
previous to its subdivision by Eschscholtz in 1829, referring each 
to its present genus. Somewhat original views on the laws of 
nomenclature are indicated in the preface. 
The author makes the foUowing changes:—Julodis tomentosa (Hbst. nee 
01.) to herbstii; Chrysaspis aurata (F. nee Pall.) to chrysipennis; C. elonyata 
(01. nee Hbst.) to elongaluta [sic]; Psiloptera variolosa (F. nee Panz.) to bino-
minata; P. morbillosa (01. pi. iv. nee pi. viii.) to olivieri; Acmceoder a polita (Kl. 
nee Say) to klugii; Sphenoptera polita (Thunb. nee Say) to thunbergi; Cono-
gnatha trifasciata (F. nee Thunb.) to fasciolata; Melybeus ceneicollis (Villers 
nee Deg.) to villersii; Agelia limbata (Wiedm. nee Don.) to wiedmunni; Ste-
nogaster plana (F. nee 01.) to planula; Agrilm leucostictus (Kl. nee Kby.) to 
286 INSECTA, COLEOPTERA. 
albomaculifer; A. pusillus (Say nee 01.) to parvus; A. purpureus (Thunb. 
nee 01.) to proximus; A. lateralis (Say nee 01.) to sayi; Trachyspusilla (F. 
nee 01) to exilis. 
S C H I O D T E (Nat. Tids. vi. pp. 353-378, tab. i. & ii.) figures and describes, 
with details, the larvae of Euchroma columbicum (Mann.), t. i. figs. 1-15; 
Chrysobothris ajfinis (F.), t. ii. figs. 1-8; Anthaxia candens (F.), t. ii. figs. 9-
12; Agrilus biguttatus (F.), t. ii. figs. 13-17; Trachys minuta (L.), t. ii. 
figs. 18-22. The author gives general characters for the larvae of the Bu-
prestidce, with elaborate particulars, and (pp. 364-368) a morphological table 
of the different parts in those of Euchroma, Eurythyrea, Ancylochira, Chi-yso-
bothris, Anthaxia, Ayrilus, and Trachys. H e also describes (without figuring) 
the larvae of Eurythyrea micans (F.) and Ancylochira rustica (L.). 
B A U D I (B. E. Z. xiv. p. 78 et seq.) notes vars. from Cyprus and Asia Minor 
of Julodis ehrenbergii, Lap, Steraspis squamosa, Klug, Buprestis stigmatica, 
Dalm, and chlorana, Lap, Capnodis tenebricosa (F.), Ancylochira ledereri, 
Mars, Anthaxia prceclava, M a n n , hypomelcena, 111. (considered a distinct

fiavoguttata (111), Acmceodera bijuga, Muls, Coreebu-s amethystinus (01), 
Agrilus roscidus, Kiesw. H e also makes some observations upon Polyctesis 
rhois, Mars.; considers de Marseul wrong in referring Acmceodera prunneri, 
Gene", as a var. to A. 18-guttata (Pill.), giving his reasons (p. 81, note) for 
thinking the latter a var. of 4-fasciata (Rossi) ; describes an Agrilus (p. 86, 
note) from Piedmont, which he refers with doubt to subauratus, Gebl.; notes 
(and names cytisi) a var. from the Maritime Alps of A. ductus (01); and 
describes an example of the Algerian Trachys hipponensis, Mars, taken at 
Turin. 
Damages caused to apple-trees in N. America by Chrysobothris femorata 
(F.), and remedies, are discussed in Amer. Ent. ii. p. 146, by Wielandy. 
Ancylochira ornata, Wsilk.., = langii (Mann.) : Lee, Ann. N. H. ser. 4, vi. 
p. 401. 
The habits of Ancylochira 8-maculata, Ptosima Q-maculata (the $ $ of 
which " semblent ? " ) , Agrilus subauratus, sinuatus, and cinctus are mentioned 
byClaudon (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4 e ser. x. p. xii). 
Agrttus ruficollis (F.) is figured, with its larva, and a gall produced by it 
on raspberry (named rubi podagra), in Amer. Ent. ii. p. 133, figs. 68 and 69. 
Its habits are described. The larva is redescribed and figured, ibid, p. 128, 
f. 90. 
A N C E Y (L'Ab. vii. p. 87) notes the economy of Agrilus Q-guttatus (Hbst). 
A B E I L L E D E P E R R I N (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4* sex. x. Bull. p. lxxix) describes 
at full length his Agrilus sulcaticeps, of which the diagnosis was published 
in Pet. Nouv, 1 Dec. 1869. H e notes (I. c. ix. p. liii & x. p. xxxvii) the 
habits of Corcebus bifasciatus and undatus, which frequent the top branches 
of oak trees. 
P E R R I S (L'Ab. vii. p. 34) records the larva of Trachys pumila as mining 
the leaves of Mentha rotundifolia and M. pulegium; other recorded plants 
for the sp. being also Labiatce. 
K R A A T Z (C. II. vi. p. 31) considers Trachys to be the Greek adjective sig­
nifying " rough,'' and not to be a word of no meaning, as v. Harold states. 
The question of masculine or feminine terminations to the names of its 
species is also discussed. Cf. v. Harold, ibid. p. 116.

has only included bisbimaculatus; the other species, with similarly con­
structed foreheads, the author thinks should be excluded from Agriotes, and 
he proposes the name Metopius for the genus to contain them.

MALACODERMATA. 
Lycides. 
C H E V R O L A T (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4e se"r. x. p. 73) considers that four dif­
ferent species have hitherto been confused under the name Calopteron (Lyeus) 
bicolor, and that the older authors erroneously attributed the group to Africa, 
as it actually belongs to the Antilles. H e shortly describes type C. bicolor 
(L.), and redescribes C. bicolor (Lap. nee L.), from St. Domingo, not Cuba 
under the name dominicense (ibid.); bicolor (01. nee L.; ? Lyeus militaris, 
Dalm.), from Jamaica, under the name denominatum, p. 74; bicolor (Duv.

(ibid. p. xxxvi) adds his experience that the $ has occurred in H. nemoralis, 
once in H. pomatia. D E M A R S E U L (NOUV. et faits div, no. 14) adds II. can-

A B E I L L E D E P E R R I N (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4e ser. x. p. 81) describes at 
full length his Telephorus comix, of which the diagnosis was published in 
Pet. Nouv, 1 Dec. 1869. 
P E T T I T T (Canad. Ent. ii. p. 117) records an example, from Ontario, of 
Podabrus punctatus (Kirby) with three antennae; the additional member 
being placed directly in front of the right antenna, and consisting of 10 joints, 
with a three-jointed branch from the base of the ninth joint. 
A larva, supposed to be that of a Telephorus, and proved to feed upon the 
grubs of the "Plum Curculio" (Conotrachelus nenuphar), is described and 
figured, with detail, in Amer. Ent. i. p. 35, f. 29. This is subsequently (p. 51) 
discovered to be the larva of Chaulioynathus pennsylvanicus (DeG.), f. 51.

veliere of the damage done to collections of insects by larvae of Anobium 
paniceum in Corsica [England might have been substituted with equal cor­
rectness as the locality]. 
D U N N I N G (Pr. E. Soc. 1870, p. xxxiii) records the larva and imago of Ano­
bium paniceum as devouring Cayenne pepper. 
The larva of Anobium paniceum is recorded as injurious to tea, particularly 
scented orange Pekoe: Ent. 82, p. 162.

would appear to be new; some of them, however, were certainly described 
by the author in Bull. Mose xviii. 1845. 
Rhostax convexieollis, p. 379, Steppes of Kirguises (an erroneous reference

K R A A T Z (Hor. Ent. Ross. vii. p. 407) suggests that Capnisa elliptica

Epitragides. 
H A A G - R U T E N B E R G (C. H. vi. p. 84 et seq.) tabulates and describes 13 
spp. of Himatismus, Er, giving his reasons (p. 92) for not accepting De 
Marseid's genus Cyphostethe (which Gemminger, C. H. vi. p. Ill, sinks as a 
syn. of Himatismus) : he describes the following new spp:—H. laticollis, 
p. 87, Angola; dubius, p. 88, and senegalensis, p. 89, Senegal; villosus, Egypt,

Centriopterides. 
Amblycyphus, g. n. Mots, Bull. Mose xliii. p. 401. Closely allied to Cen-
trioptera (Mann.), but with a retractile labrum, more distinctly toothed 
mandibles, the penult, joint of ant. not transverse, more obtuse elytral aspe­
rities, &c. Also allied to Asbolus (Lee), which is of shorter form, with 
tuberculiform elytral asperities, very transverse penult, joint of ant, more 
visible labrum, &c. Sp. A. asperatus (Mots.). 
Threnus, g. n. Mots. ibid. p. 404. Allied to Cerenopus, but with clubbed

Asidides. 
Asida rugosa (F.), changed to fabricii by Allard, on account of rugosa 
(Eourc, 1785), need not have been altered on the date alone, as Fabricius's 
original description appeared in 1775; sabulosa (Goeze, 1777) would have 
had priority over Fourcroy if change required: v. H A R O L D (Pet. Nouv. 16, 
p. 61). 
Asida morbillosa (Dufts. nee F.) is changed to duftschmidi by Gemminger, 
C. H. vi. p. 122.

Pimeliides. 
Pimelia rugulosa, Germ, and sardea, Sol. v. Rottenberg, B. E. Z. xiv. 
p. 248, inclines to consider these insects conspecifie 
B L A C K M O R E (Pr. E. Soc. 1870, p. xxix) records a monstrosity of Pimelia 
scabrosa from Tangiers, in which the right antenna was doubly furcate. 
Molurides. 
Psammodes grandis (Sol, Cat. nee Mem. Ac. Tor.) is changed to gravis, and 
P. plicatus (Sol, Cat. nee M . A. Tor.) to plicipennis: Gemminger, C. H. vi.

Pedinus longulus, sp. n, v. Rottenberg, B. E. Z. xiv. p. 249, Sicily. 
Hopatrides. 
G E M M I N G E R (C. H. vi.) makes the following changes:—Loboderus (Muls. 
& Rey nee Guer.) to Lobothorax; Hopatrum setulosum (Kiist. nee Fald.) to 
trichopterum ; H. patruele (Kiist. nee Er.) to vicinum. 
The larva and pupa of Hopatrum sabulosum are briefly described by Lucas 
(Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4e ser. x. p. lxxxii). 
Isostira, g. n, Pascoe, Ann. N. H. ser. 4, v. p. 97. Differs from Hopatrum

number of 10 joints to the antennas of Trachyscelis. 
Scymcena amphibia, sp. n, Pasc. I. c. p. 94, K. George's Sound. 
Bolitophagides.

MELASOMATA. 297 
Diaperides. 
GEMMINGER (C. H. vi. p. Ill) withdraws his alteration of Platydemapicipes 
(Cast, et BrulhS) into vicinum, as Say's picipes is a Phaleria.. H e makes the 
following further changes:—Encephalus (Breme nee Westw.) to Eneara,

losum (Thorns, nee Cast. & Br.) to maeularium; P, variegatum (Klug nee 
Cast. & Br.) to variipenne (p. 122). 
Platydema paUens, Lap., is certainly, and P. 4-maculata, P. cyanea, Hoplo-
cephala chalybea and H. collaris, Lap, are most probably to be withdrawn 
from the list of N. American spp.; the first of them is S. American: Leconte?

bicollis (Kiist. nee Fald.) to gibbithorax, H. punctipennis (Lee nee Luc.) to 
punctatus, Hedyphanes helopioides (Luc. nee Fald.) to helopinus : Gemminger, 
C. H. vi. p. 123. 
Helops inclusus, Walk, from description = either lautus or pernitens, 
Lee : Lee, Ann. N. H. ser. 4, vi. p. 401. 
Helops. K R A A T Z (B. E. Z. xiv. Beih. p. 136) briefly characterizes the 3 
pubescent species of this genus found in Spain and Algiers. The same author 
(1. c. p. 139, note) enumerates 16 spp. of Helops found in South Spain, and 
already recorded. 
K R A A T Z (I. c. p. 142, note) remarks upon the error in de Marseul's Cat. ed. 
2, in attributing Nephodes metallescens, Kiist, as a var. to N. villiger, Rosenh, 
the latter having been (inKraatz's opinion, wrongly) described as probably a 
var. of the former; he also notes the still greater error in De Mars. Cat, 
1866, wherefrom metallescens is entirely omitted.

doubt; he thinks Goureau probably wrong in attributing the destruction of 
larva; of Lixus and Agvonajza, found in stems of Senee.io aquatica, to the 
larva of M. subtruncata. The larvae of Mordellistena are formed nearly as in 
Mordellu, certainly lignivorous; those of Anaspis like certain Cryptophagidce, 
and live on detritus of other xylophagous larvae and are perhaps carnivorous :

S T Y L O P I D J E , R H I P I P H O R I D > E . 301 
tion of paedogenesis in Xenos rossii, the parasite of Polistes gallica. K R A A T Z 
(B. E. Z. xiv. p. 48) recapitulates his observations, resulting in the conviction 
that the ovaries of the 5 perfect insect do not arrive at their proper deve­
lopment, owing to the $ remaining as a larva for her whole existence, and 
that eggs capable of development are produced -without previous fecunda­
tion, from which eggs, probably, S insects "proceed. [The Stylopidce are 
noticed among the Coleoptera against the Recorder's convictions.] 
RHIPIPHORID>E. 
Rhipiphorus paradoxus. The economy of this species is very 
fully discussed in various papers by Murray, Smith, and Chap­
man, in vols. v. and vi. Ann. N . H. ser. 4. Murray, /. c. v. p. 83 
et seq., adheres to his former opinion that the larva does not 
feed on wasp-grubs, considering the instances adduced by Smith 
to arise from some error of observation. Chapman, ibid. p. 191 
et seq., supports Smith's views, differing only from him in his 
idea as to the mode of oviposition, which Chapman thinks, with 
Denison, takes place when the wasp-grub covers itself in its 
cell, the beetle-larva, as soon as hatched, devouring the grub by 
suction, and undergoing its metamorphoses in the cell, thus 
forming a parallel to the relations of Chrysis and Odynerus. 
The very rapid feeding-up of the beetle-larva, as in Chrysis, has 
been the cause of the difficulty in elucidating the history of 
Rhipiphorus, in Chapman's opinion. Smith, ibid. p. 198 et seq., 
reasserts his original position, and adduces evidence in refutation 
of Murray's points, and in corroboration of Stone's views. Mur­
ray, I. c. vi. p. 204, having in the interval made numerous ob­
servations, retracts his former opinion, and is fully convinced 
that the Rhipiphorus is a parasite. From his experience, the 
egg is laid on the wall of the wasp's cell, just within its lip, and 
the young larva sucks the wasp-grub, taking from 8 to 10 days 
to consume it, and averaging 3 or 4 days before hatching. H e 
describes the larva of Rhipiphorus, and (pi. xiv.) figures it with 
detail, giving also views of the wasp-grub both by itself and in 
connexion with the parasite. Chapman, ibid. p. 314 et seq., 
also describes the larva very fully, especially as to its earliest 
conditions. H e fails to find the egg, but discovers the larva to 
be at first a minute black hexapod, Meloe-like, which enters the 
wasp-grub (even before the latter has spun its silken covering 
before assuming the pupal state) at the back of the primary 
dorsal segments, feeding internally in the general cavity of the 
body, and emerging probably within 6 hours after the spinning 
up of the grub, when it changes its skin, and becomes shorter, 
thicker, and curved in front. It then attaches itself to the 
upper extremity of the grub, and feeds by suction, changing its 
skin a second time, and finally devouring the grub almost en­
tirely. The perfect insect seems to emerge about two days after 
the wasps of the same row of cells; and its eye-spots were found

by Chapman in the head of a feeding larva. The young external 
larva seems to differ from the coleopterous type only in not 
having a spiracle on the 12th segment; and the full-grown larva 
closely resembles that of a Crabro or Pemphredon {Hym.). 
Chapman (pi. xvi.) figures the larva at different stages and in 
different aspects, with highly magnified details. Murray, ibid. 
p. 326 et seq., supplements Chapman's observations by an 
account of the method of oviposition employed by a Rhipiphorus 
bred by him, the egg, which is much smaller than the wasp-
egg, being laid with a drop of g u m m y thread against the side of 
a box in which the beetle was kept.

RUPERTSBERGER (Verh. z.-b. Ges. Wien, xx. p. 839) records some-obser-
vations on the economy of Gymnetron linarice (Pz.). 
P E R R I S (L'Ab. vii. p. 36), with regard to Kaltenbach's statement that 
Gymnetron antirrhini lives on Linaria vulgaris, states that the insect now 
usually known by that name lives in the capsules of different spp. of Verbascum 
(especially V. phlomoides). H e considers either the Paykullian statement of 
habitat wrong, or that the modern G. antirrhini is erroneously named.

Muller (Ent. M . M. vii. p. 37) records some observations supposed to in­
dicate an approach to reflection in Ceuthorhynehus sulcicollis (Gyll.). 
The larva of Ceuthorhynehus lycopi lives in the roots of Mentha sykestris as 
well as of Lycopus europeeus. Perris (L'Ab. vii. p. 37).

D E M A R S E U L (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4« ser. x. Bull. p. lxix) refers to Baridius 
pieinus attacking the roots, and B. chlorizans and cuprirostris the stems, of 
Brassica oleracea. 
Baridius trinotatus, Say, "the potato-stalk weevil," is figured in its chief 
stages, and particulars of its economy are given in Amer. Ent. i. p. 22, f. 12. 
A gall upon the grape-vine, caused by Madarus vitis (Riley,=Baridius 
sesostris, Lee), is figured and named vitis vulnus in Amer. Ent. ii. p. 104 et 
seq., f. 70. A new sp. of Madarus is indicated at p. 105 by Riley, under the 
name ampelopsidos, as feeding upon leaf-stems of the Virginian creeper. 
This article is conspicuous as the only instance of "double entendre'' (in its 
worst signification) among entomological publications.

Cossonides. 
F. S M I T H (Ent. M . M. vii. p. 108) records Mesites tardii from N. Devon. 
P E R R I S (L'Ab. vii. p. 34) briefly notes the larva of Cossonus linearis, found 
in a Canada poplar, and which (like that of C. ferrugineus) has upon the 
stigmata of the first 5 abd. segments certain brown spots, which he considers, 
with the pseudopodal bristles, to be characteristic of Cossonus, since they are 
not found in Mesites, or in any other of the Rhynchophora, so far as he knows.

LONGICORNIA. 
H. W. BATES (Tr. E. Soc. 1870, pp. 442-444), who has con­
cluded his work on the Longicornia of the Amazons (of which 
the Lamiides were published in Ann. N. H. 1861-66, the Prio-
nides in Tr. E. Soc. 1869, p. 37 et seq., and the Cerambycides 
as above, pp. 243-325, and pp. 391-444), gives tables of the 
genera and. species referred to by him from that district, 
resulting in the following numbers :—Prionides, 16 genera, 
26 spp.; Cerambycides, 104 genera, 288 spp.; Lamiides, 101 
genera, 365 spp.; giving a total of 221 genera and 679 spp.

407-413, and 475-482, pis. ii. & iii.) enumerates and describes some of the 
species of Longicornia known to him from Old Calabar, in continuation of 
his descriptive catalogue of the Coleoptera of that region. Various observa­
tions are made in this paper bearing on the author's treatise in P. L. S. xi. 
on the geographical relations of the chief Coleopterous Faunae. Murray

Cerambycides. 
H. W BATES (Tr. E. Soc. 1870, pp. 213-325, August, and 
391-441, Dec.) concludes his treatise on the Longicornia of the 
Amazons by describing the Cerambycides, of which he enu­
merates 104 genera and 288 spp., many being new. H e con­
tinues to adopt the classification established by Lacordaire, 
with trifling modifications. 
BATES, I. c, recharacterizes his genera Atenizus, p. 243, Niophis, p. 244, and 
Zathecus, p. 246, placed by him in the GSmince; places Obrium amazonicum 
(White) without hesitation in Hesperophanes (Muls.), p. 259 ; notes the chief 
character of the Torneutides, Lac, occurring in the widely distant Chlorida 
curia, Thorns, p. 262; describes 4 vars. of Eburodacrys Q-maculata (F.) 
from S. America, p. 270; notes connecting links between Peribceum, Thorns, 
and Nephalius, pp. 273, 274; incorporates Castiale, Pasc, with the latter, 
p. 276; refers Phyton modestum, White, to Haruspex, Thorns, p. 280; 
amends his genera Arcestis, p. 309, Dodecosis, p. 310, ASchmutes, p. 331, 
Chlorethe, p. 394, Argyrodines, p. 408; refers Euryptera albicollis (Pasc.) to 
Ophistomis, p. 313; notes Lacordaire's omission of Sphecomorpha, Newm, 
with which Sphecogaster, Lac, is probably identical, p. 314; describes $ 
of Odontocera pcecilopoda, White, p. 321, and O. mellca, W h , p. 322, and 
cj of O. compressipes, W h , p. 324; refers Stenopterus braconides, Perty, to 
Isthmiade, Thorns, and S. albitarsis (Klug) and Odontocera subvestita, 
White, to Phygopoda, Thorns, p. 327, also Ccr. albieornis, F, overlooked 
by authors, to Orihoschema, Thorns, p. 391; sinks Heteropalpus, Buq, 
as a syn. of Cometes, Serv, p. 440; and gives the following synonymy :— 
Styliceps sericans, Lac, = Cerayenia amazonica, Thorns, = C. sericata, 
Pasc, but Lacordaire's genus to be used, p. 263; Odontocera chrysozone, 
White, = O. (Necyd.) fasciata (01), p. 324; Callichroma assimilatum, 
White, — rugicolle, Guer, p. 334; Bhopalophora vidua, Chevr, = atramen-
tavia (White, List rapt), p. 403; Cosmisoma leprieurii, Buq, = fasciculatum

T A S C H E N B E R G (Z. ges. Naturw. 1870, Bd. i. p. 194) describes, under the 
name of Callichroma iris, an insect from Columbia, apparently without cer­
tainty as to its being described before. 
A B E I L L E D E P E R B I N (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4 e se'r. x. p. 85) describes at 
full length his Callidium (Semanotus ?) spinicorne, of which diagnosis pub­
lished in Pet. Nouv, 1 Dec. 1869. [The object of snatching priority by thus 
bisecting a proper description has apparently been gained in this instance, as 
Perrin states his insect to be identical with varini, Bedel, published in 
January or March, 1870, in ' L'Abeille.' He, however, erroneously dates his 
diagnosis in November 1869.] 
K R A A T Z (B. E. Z. xiv. pp. 405-410, Taf. iii. f. 2-4 a, b, to appear in vol. 
xv.) describes, and in some cases figures, varieties of certain European spp. of 
Clytus. According to him C. apicalis, Hampe, cannot be considered specifically 
distinct from C. arcuatus. Of C.fioralis, Pall, he names abruptus (Parreyss 
in lit.) a Crimean var, and pniinosus a var. from Sarepta—noting also the 
difference between the vars. zebra of Dalmann (nee Schonh, as in Stein's 
Cat.) and Laporte. H e also names viridicollis a Grecian var. of C. ver-
basci (I-,.). 
Platynotus (Muls. nee Dej.) is changed to Hadroclytus by Kraatz, C. II iv. 
p. 32. 
A B E I L L E D E P E R R I N ( N O U V . et faits div. No. 15) gives differential cha­
racters for Criocephalus rusticus and fer us, objects to Clytus scalaris being 
considered conspecific with C. speciosus and siculus, considers C. fulvicollis 
a hybrid between massiliensis and ruficovnis, refers to a curious race (?) of 
C. mysticus from Prussia, and adds Dolocerus reichei to the French lists. 
Xylostcus spinolee, Friv. Kraatz, B. E. Z. xiv. pp. 413-415, notes the great 
sexual differences of this rare species, to which he refers Bhagium maculatum, 
Sturm (Cat. Kafersamml. 1843), from Illyria. H e suspects the existence of 
a second sp. of the genus, which he provisionally names illyricus. 
v. H E Y D E N (B. E. Z. xiv. Beih. p. 163) redescribes Strangalia approxi­
mate, Rosenh, the $ of which = J of Leptura distigma, Charp. Mulsant 
appears to have first indicated Charpentier's error. 
Leptura longiceps, K b y , = Acmceops strigillata (F.) ; A. marginalis, Lee, 
= longicornis (Kby, Lep.): Lee, Ann. N. II. ser. 4, vi. p. 399. Typocerus 
cervinus, Walk, = Toxotus spureus, Lee ; Tox. perduetor, Walk, = Lept. 
(Stenura) obliterata (Hald.), var. : Lee ibid. p. 402. 
Abeille de Perrin (Nouv. et faits div. No. 16) points out the differences 
between certain spp. of Pachyta allied to 8-maculata. 
Varieties of Pachyta interroyationis (L.) and P. variabilis, Gebl, are dis­
cussed at some length by Solsky, Hor. Ent. Ross. vii. p. 394 et seq.

The occurrence of the southern Donacia reticulata, Gyll, near Brussells is 
recorded in Ann. E. Belg. xiii. c.-r. p. v. 
For a description of the larva and detailed account of the habits of Hcemonia, 
with list of water-plants frequented by its species, cf. Leprieur, in Bull. Soc. 
Colm. 1870, and Bellevoye, Bull. Soc. Moselle, 1870, x. The former author 
mentions great differences in individuals of species hitherto considered 
without doubt to be firmly established, and evidently inclines to the belief 
that all the described spp. should be reduced to one. Deyrolle (Pet. Nouv. 
21, p. 84) gives some particulars as to the habits of H mosellce.

Sardinia only. Kraatz (Hor. Ent. Ross. viii. p. 31) names sareptana a var. 
of L. lucida, Germ. 
W O L L A S T O N (Ann. N. H. ser. 4, v. p. 27, note) points out the confusion as 
to localities cited by Fabricius for his Clythra (Cryptoceph.) ruficollis, and 
inclines to the belief that there are two spp. under that name, one from 
S. Europe, the other from St. Helena, the former of which would, in that 
case, require renaming, as the original description distinctly applies to the 
latter. [The original Banksian type is a Galeruca.]

Clirysomelides of Middle and South Africa, of which he gives (pp. 69-77) a 
tabular arrangement, containing indications of 54 new spp. The author 
characterizes Horatopyga (StSl), and describes 5 spp. (3 new). 
D O H R N (S. E. Z. xxxii. p. 357) quotes Hope's reference of Chrysomela 
sparshalli, Curt, to variolosa, Petagna. 
R U P E R T S B E R G E R (Verh. z.-b. Ges. Wien, xx. pp. 840-842) describes the 
larva and pupa, and records his observations on the economy of Chrysomela

known inN. America as the true and "bogus" Potato-bug, are described, and 
figures of all their stages given, in Amer. Ent. i. p. 41 et seq. figs. 33 & 34. 
P E R R I S (L'Ab. vii. p. 35) always finds the larvae of Prasocuris beccabungce 
on the leaves of Sium latifolimn, and not in the stems of that plant, which 
Boie' states to be the habitat of P. phellandrii. The larva never occurs on the 
Veronica from which the species takes its name, according to Perris. 
B E L L E V O Y E (NOUV. et faits div. p. xxi) supplies notes on the economy of 
P. phellandrii, the larva of which lives, according to him, in stems of (Enanthe 
phellandrium.

This is a second supplement to the author's work on the same 
subject in JB. Ver. Nass. xiv. (the first supplement being pub­

One new genus and about 30 new species are characterized; but 
the author's method of indicating novelties is so obscure, that it 
is almost impossible to be sure as to the number of the latter. 
Many synonymical observations are made, some being original; 
and synoptical and sectional tables are given. 269 species of 
Anthophila, belonging to 37 genera, are recorded from Nassau; 
and the German species are stated to be 376 in number, com­
prised in 47 genera.

The authors describe 146 species, of which 35 are treated as 
new, although suspicion is sometimes excited as to their differ­
ences being merely sexual. They give coloured figures of 47 
species, with outline detail, and make some changes in nomen­
clature. A supplement (pp. 304-309) is added, wherein 10 
exotic species are referred to, one being described as new.

ever, after Walsh's death, returned the paper to Riley, who 
published it as above, completing the description of Antigaster

GIRATJD (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4 e ser. x. Bull. p. xliii) records a J of a Du-
fouria (? dejeanii, Lep.) from Agen, which, having a spinule on each side of 
sixth segment of abdomen, he thinks justifies Latreille's name of armatus 
(Panurgus). 
B B L L E V O Y E (ibid. p. xxxvi) notes that the cocoons of Osmia bicornis 
occur singly in shells of Helix nemoralis and hortensis, whereas they are 
found even up to the number of six in H. pomatia. Giraud (ibid.) notes 
that this Osmia is much more often found in H. nemoralis than in H po­
matia. 
L I C H T E N S T E I N (U>id. p. xliv) records the economy of a species resembling

he states should, according to Giraud's opinion, form a genus between Heriades 
and Osmia. This he names Osmia glutinosa, but without any description or 
note of locality. H e states that it deposits its eggs and larval food in an un­
known glutinous matter. 
Megachile argentata (F.) is recorded by Ritsema in Tijdschr. Ent. 2nd ser. 
Deel v. p. 182, as using Polygonum convolvulus for its nest-lining.

observations on the economy of Bhygehium oeulatum, which makes its nests 
in rose-trees, and destroys the larvae of Plusia gamma. H e notices a kind of 
false pupa in this species. A n Odynerus, to which he refers without giving 
its specific name, is subject to the parasitism of Rhipiphorus prceustus, and of 
a Rhipiptera, the latter not preventing the final metamorphosis of the wasp 
H e suggests the encouragement of the species of Eumenes, Odynerus, and 
Rhygchium in gardens, as a natural means of checking the excess of larvae of 
Lepidopt&ra.

Philanthus interruptus (Panz.) is not, as Smith states, identical with Crabro 
5-fasciatus (Rossi), according to Costa (Ann. Mus. Nap. v. p. 101, note), who 
has types of both species. Panzer's fig. of P. 5-cinctus is cf var. of are-
naria (L.), and not rj-faseiatus (Rossi), as quoted by Smith: Costa (I. c. 
p. 104, note). Panzer's fig. of P. sabulosus is not to be referred to C. 
4-cincta, as Smith considers, but to emarginata (Pz.) : Costa (I. e. p. 107, 
note).

Stizus speeiosus, Drury, is stated by Bryant (Am. Ent. ii. p. 87, fig. 57) to 
act as a " horse-guard," by playing round horses and catching flies attracted 
to them. A n editorial note (ibid.) suggests an error in this, as Stizus provi­
sions its nest with grasshoppers, and hints that a Bembex, coloured like the 
species above named, is most likely intended by Bryant, as the insects of that 
genus store their nests with Athericidce. The habits of S. grandis (Say) are

cius) punctulatus (St. F.), considering the cf attributed to that species by St. 
Fargeau to belong to some other species, and that the author probably esta­
blished his genus Psammcecius on the peculiar structure of the apical joints of 
its antennae. H e thinks, also, that the cf of Gorytespunctulatus (v. d. Lind.) 
cannot be referred to punctulatus (St.-F.), and notes individual variations in 
Euspongus laticinctus (St.-F.).

R A D O S Z K O V S K Y (l> c. vii. Bull. pp. xix-xxi) supplements the above-men­
tioned monograph by the observations that M. austriaca (maura cf ) has been 
bred by Giraud from nests of Ammophila heydeni, and M. coronata by Sichel 
from a colony of Larra anathema; that M. parvicollis, Costa, is the J of ea-
pitata, Luc, and is parasitic upon a Chrysis; and M. tabida, Luc, is cer­
tainly the $ of hottentota (F.), and is parasitic upon Leptochilus mauritanieus, 
—these two Mutillce, with nilotica, K l , having been bred from Algerian 
Helix maritima. The author notes that the form of the first abdominal seg­
ment in the different species coincides with that of the other Hymenoptera 
upon which they are parasitic.

348 INSECTA, HYMENOPTERA. 
M A Y R (Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, xx. p. 940) quotes and partially confirms 
Emery's observation that Colobopsis tnmcata is the male and C. fuscipes the 
worker of one and the same species. H e thinks it probable that all species of 
Colobopsis have males and workers, and considers in that case that this genus 
has the same relation to Camponotus as Pheidole to Pheidologeton. At p. 941 
he tabulates the known Asiatic and Australian species of Colobopsis; and at 
p. 944 describes an insect from Tonga, apparently referable as worker to C. 
mfifrons, Smith, though in certain points so different from that species as 
likely to suggest the formation of a new genus for its reception. 
Prenolepis lasioides, Emery, being a true Lasius, is renamed fumatus: 
Emery, I. c. p. 194. 
Mayr (1. c. p. 947) tabulates the workers only of 9 species of Prenolepis (in­
cluding 2 new species), and remarks that the Prenolepis from the Taurus, in 
nests of which Lederer found a Paussus, is identical with the S.-American 
P. fulva. At p. 949 he records P. vividula, Nyl, from Tonga and other islands 
of Oceania, with variations of colour &c.; and considers it probable that P. 
obscuva, from Sydney, is the type form of this insect. 
Mayr (/. c. p. 950) describes worker and cf of Lasius claviger, Rog, from 
Connecticut and N. York. 
Formica. Map- (I. c. p. 950) compares this genus and Lasius; notices the 
affinities of European and N.-American species of the former, especially refer­
ring' to F. ctnicularia, Latr, from Connecticut, and F. cinerea, Mayr, from 
California. He names obscuriveutvis a var. of F. tvuncicola, Nyl, from Con­
necticut, and indicates a new species near F. Integra, Nyl, from California. 
He also mentions workers from N. York and other localities intermediate be­
tween F. fusca, L , and gagates, Latr, and states that only F. schaufussi, 
Mayr, is in any marked degree separable from the European species. The 
author speaks slightingly of Buckley's ' Descriptions of new species of North-
American Fomricidoe.' 
Mayr (I. c. p. 952) describes Spanish specimens of Catagvyphis albicans, 
Rog. 
llypoclinea. Mayr (/. c. p. 953 et seq.) remarks generally upon the relations 
of this genus and of Iridomyrme.r, Doliehodevus, Tapinoma, and Bothryomyr-
mcx; divides the workers of llypoclinea into five groups, with observations 
upon the geographical distribution of that genus, and fp. 955) tabulates all 
the known species. Aceinlholepis kirbii, Lowne, is a llypoclinea, and a good 
species ; Formica itinerans, gracilis, and rufmigra, Lowne, and Acaniholepis 
mantdlatus, Lowne, are also to be referred to llypoclinea, though with some 
doubts as to their specific value; Formica smithii, Lowne, =//. purpurea 
Sin.; Acuntholepis tuberculatus, Lowne, =11. nitida, Mayr ; Polyrhachisfoveo-
lafus,howne, = H. seabvida, Rog.; Polyrhachis cuspidatus, S m , is & llypo­
clinea. Mayr, /. c. p. 054 et seq. 
The workers of Liomelopum, Mayr, are to be distinguished from those 
of llijpoeUnea by their possessing ocelli, and their longitudinally convex 
non-constricted thorax. L. xanthocroum, Rog. (= Iridomyrmex xantho-
crom and I. sericeus, Mayr), however, seems an oscillating form. Mayr, I. c. 
Polyergus vufescens. Forel (I.
 c. p. 306) proves the non-existence of a 
sting in this species, which had hitherto been considered the sole acu­
leate member of the Formicides. The Formicidce are thus easily sepa-
F O R M I C I D J E . 349 
rated into three subfamilies—the Formicides (no sting; a single node to 
the pedicle), Ponerides (a sting; a single node), Myrmeeides (a sting; two 
nodes). 
Gnamptoyenys. Mayr, I. c. p. 963, tabulates the workers of the species of 
this genus. 
Myrmecia, Fab, is to be classed among the Ponerides, in consequence 
of Lowne's discovery that its pupas are enclosed in cocoons. Mavr, I. c. 
p. 968. 
Pogonomyrmex. Mayr, I. c. p. 970, tabulates the workers of the species 
of this genus. 
Myrmica (Tetramorium) kollari (Mayr) is recorded from Britain by 
Smith (Ent. Ann. 1871, p. 60), who protests against Roger's collocation of this 
species and of his own M. reticulata (from Panama) with the African F. 
guineensis, F. 
Tetramorium. Mayr, I, c. p. 972, tabulates the workers of the species of 
this genus. T. toHuosum and auropunctatum, Rog, having only 11-jointed 
antennae, must probably be referred to Pristomyrmex : Mayr, ibid. note. The 
author (pp. 973-976) discusses T. ccespitum (L.), which seems to attain its 
greatest amount of variation near the Mediterranenn, and none of the forms 
of which, except perhaps T. meridionale, Emery, seem to him worthy of a 
specific rank. 
Cremastogaster. Mayr, I. c. pp. 989-992, tabulates the workers of the Ame­
rican species of this genus. 
F O R E L (I. c. pp. 308-312) describes the J of Cremastogaster sordidula, 
Nyl, at great length. He notes intermediate variations in its characters, 
apparently sufficient for specific or even generic distinction, such as four or 
five joints to max. palpi (the first or fourth joint being sometimes semidivided), 
two or three joints to lab. palpi (sometimes one semidivided), and con­
vergent lines on the mesonotum present or wanting. From others of the 
same sex in its genus it appears to differ in its 11-jointed antennas, of 
which the third joint is incised, and in having the wing-nervures constantly 
atrophied. 
Eciton mexicana, Rog.: Norton, I. c. p. 7, figures major and minor workers 
of this species. 
Pseudomyrma bicolor, Guer. : Norton, I. c. p. 8, figures a worker of this 
species. 
Myrmica lyncea, Spin, is a Pseudomyrma : Mayr, /. e. p. 972.

records the habits of the " Cutting-Ant" of Texas, Atta j"evens, Say. 
Pheidole. Mayr (/. e. p. 977) tabulates the males of the Australian, and 
(pp. 979-982) the males and (pp. 982-984) the workers of the American spe­
cies of this genus. The worker of P. oceanica, Mayr, is now referred by him 
to P. umbonata, one of his new species; and at p. 079 he describes the true 
worker of P. oceanica, from the Friendly Isles. P. Iceviyata, Mayr,=pallid 
pusilla, Heer : Mayr, I. c. p. 981, note. 
Solenqpsis. Mayr, I. c. p. 996, tabulates the workers of the species of this 
genus, except of S. capensis, Mayr, of which only $ is" known. S. (Diplo-
rhoptrum) drewseni (Mayr)—ejeminata (F.), and probably has not its origin 
from Italy: Mayr, ibid. note. Atta [Myrmica] gayi (Spin.) most probably 
also = S. geminata (F.) : Mayr, /. c. p. 972. 
350 INSECTA, HYMENOPTERA. 
GJcodoma mexicana, Sm.: Norton, I.e. p. 9, figures 5 and major worker 
of this species. 
Cylindromyrmex, g. n, Mayr, I. c. p. 967. Facies of Colydium (Col.), and, 
from the entire hinder plane of the petiole being united with first segment of 
abdomen, resembling Amblyopone, Mystrium, Myopone, Prionopelta, and 
Stigmatomma, but with triangular mandibles. Sp. C. striatus, sp. n, Mayr, 
ibid., Surinam ( $ ) . 
Cheliomyi-mex, g. n, Mayr, I. c. p. 968. Eyeless. Unites the Ponerides 
and Dorylides; of the latter, most resembling Typhlopone and Anomma in 
structure, but with last abdominal segment entirely conic and without teeth. 
Its narrow, much curved, and toothed mandibles and bidentate claws di­
stinguish it from Typhlomyrmex, Centromyrmex, and Syscia, genera of Pone­
rides in which the workers are eyeless. Sp. C. noHoni, sp. n, Mayr, I. c.

Naples and Lecce. The author (Bull. Ent. Ital. ii. pp. 194,195) recharac­
terizes this genus, and redescribes both sexes of its species, of which he 
figures (t. ii. figs. 1 & 3) the wing and head of the $, and (f. 6) the head 
of the cf • [N.B. The reference at p. 201 is erroneous.] 
Lepteuiilla, g. n., Emery, Bull. Ent. Ital. ii. p. 196. Allied to Typhlopona,

ICHNEUMONID^E. 
M A R S H A L L (Ichn. Brit. Cat.) adds many species to the list of British Ich-
neumonidce, and gives much useful synonymy, some of which is original. 
352 INSECTA, HYMENOPTERA. 
C O U P E R (Canad. Ent. ii. p. 113) makes observations upon the economy 
of an unknown Ichneumon, of which about 40 specimens were bred by him 
out of a spider's cocoon found at Montreal. 
The larval stages of a parasite (presumed to be an Ichneumon) upon a 
black spider are detailed by Lichtenstein (Ann. Soc. Ent. Er. 4e stir. x. Bull. 
p. lxxii). 
K A W A L L (S. E. Z. xxxi. p. 108) mentions large individuals of Pimpla ex-
aminatov (Grav.) bred from Hyponomeuta padella. He also records a curious 
5 specimen of Xylonomus rufipes (Grav.); suggests that Mesostenus niveatus 
(Gr.) is the cf and M.pyyostolus (Gr.) the 5 of the same species; and de­
scribes the cf of Rhyssa curripes (Gr.), and a queried 9. var. of Cryptus ab-
iominator (Gr.). 
Ichneumonides. 
T A S C H E N B E R G (Z. ges. Naturw. 1870, Bd. ii. pp. 209-272, 309-416, 
449-470) tabulates the species of Ichneumon, Gr, with linear or linear-elliptic 
spiracles to the abdomen, consisting of Chasmod.es (p. 213), Exophanes (ibid.), 
Ichneumon (p. 214 et seq.), Amblytel.es (p. 252 et seq.), Catadelphus (p. 205), 
Acolobus and Hepiopelmus (p. 266), Anisobas and Listrodromus (p. 2G7), Pro-
bolus and Eiivylabus (p. 268), Platylabus (p. 269 et seq.). Diagnoses of and 
observations upon the various known spp. of these genera are given (p. 369 
to end), and two new species are described, some synonymy (especially of 
WesmaeTs spp.) also being given. Chasmodes motatatorius (Gr.) is men­
tioned as bred from Caradvina aivee (p. 369) ; C. paludicola (Wesm.) and 
Exephunes occupator (Grav.) from pupas of Nonagvia iyphce (p. 370); Ichn.

refers to the species (5 in number, of which he describes 2 as new) confused 
under the name of C. obseurus (Grav.) : C. sponsor (Ratz. nee Grav, F.) 9. = 
incisus, p. 405 : 5 of C. nubeculatus (Grav.) is described, p. 408 : both sexes 
of C. migrator (Gr.) are described, p. 410, note: the C. incubitor of Graven-
horst and of Ratzeburg cannot be referred to the same species, according 
to the statement of differences at p. 414; pygoleuenis (Grav.), vax.=incubito, 
(Grav.) cf > and is described p. 415 : the females of 15 species are tabulated, 
p. 425 : observations are made at some length (pp. 426-428) upon C. titillator 
(Gr.), resulting in the opinion that the cf of that species is identical with 
the male of C. analis (Gr, Tschek), in which case the name titiUator must 
attach to the latter insect, and analis be altogether dropped, as the cf of 
Gravenhorst's analis = peregrinator (L.) : 9. of C. conjungens, Tschek, is de­
scribed from Rzeszow, p. 429. 
Cryptus. H O L M G R E N (I. c. p. 396) recharacterizes this genus as restricted 
by hiin. 
Cocoons of Cryptus extrematis, Oresson (=nuncius, Say), a parasite on 
Attacus cecropia, are figured in Amer. Ent. ii. f. 67. 
Cryptus junceus, Cresson, is recorded as a parasite on "mud-daubers'' 
(Ayenia, Schdte.), and as having the smell of a Bombus : Walsh & Riley, 
Amer. Ent. i. p. 137, fig. 109. 
R I T S E M A (Tijdschr. Ent. 1870, p. 120) records having bred a probably un-
described sp. of Phygadeuon from the larva of Enoicyla pusilla, the terrestrial 
Phryganidon, upon which it is parasitic. 
W A L S H (Canad. Ent. ii. p. 10) infers, from various individuals bred by 
him, that Pezomachus is a degraded Hemiteles. For observations on the 
American species of Hemiteles by this author, cf. ibid. pp. 9-12, 31-33. 
Both sexes of (Edemopsis rogenhoferi, Tschek, are described, from Bautzen

CHALCIDIMS. 
Isosoma hor dei (Harris). Walsh & Riley (Amer. Ent. i. pp. 149-158) 
discuss the economy of this species, known as the " Joint-worm " in North 
America, and figure it and stems of barley affected by it, figs. 113 & 117. 
Chalcideous parasites of this insect are well figured (f. 114), and named 
Scmiotcllus chalcidiphagus, but not described, and other real or supposed spp. 
of "joint-worms'' are discussed. The authors argue, from unity of habit, 
that hordei (Uarr.) is not a Eurytoma, which is a parasitic genus, although 
it undoubtedly belongs to the Eurytomides; and they give figures and details 
of both sexes of Eurytoma and Decatoma, showing differences of structure, as 
compared with Isosoma, in corroboration of this argument. A new genus, 
Antigaster, containing one new species, A. mirubilis, is indicated at p. 150, 
and figured in detail, f. 118. This, with the new species above mentioned, 
is subsequently described in a posthumous paper by Walsh. 
W A L S H (in the posthumous paper above alluded to, published in Amer. 
Ent. & Bot. ii. pp. 207-301, 320-335, 307-370, figs. 1-10), after some obser­
vations (founded on the habits of certain spp. of Eurytoma and Chalcis) tend­
ing to express a belief in the existence of Entomophagic varieties and species 
analogous to his expressed views as to Phytophagic vars. and spp, recharac­
terizes the genera Eurytoma, Decatoma, and Isosoma. He tabulates the N. 
American spp. of Eurgtoma (p. 2SM), and describes the following new species 
and vars.:—E. bicolor, ibid, from fungoid growth on twigs of black and red 
oak (cf Osten-Sacken, Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. iv. p. 3(55, note), but probably 
an inquiline only; E. primicola, ibid. fig. 1, from the gall Quercus prunus 
Walsh, and var. g/obulieola, p. 200, from gall Q. ylobulus, Fitch; E. auri-
e-eps,^ ibid, from galls Q. erinaeeus, Walsh, ?= Q. pisum, Fitch, Q. spongiflca, 
O.-S, Q. hirta (Ba,s.), and Q. radiant, O.-S, and var. seminatrix from 
CHALCIDIDJE. 357 
gall Q. semmator, Harr.; E. punctiventris, ibid, from gall Q. mamma, 
Walsh; E. abnormicornis, ibid, 9., taken at large; E. diastrcphi, ibid, 
from bramble-gall of Diastrophus nebulosus, O.-S. [var. bolteri, Riley, from 
lepidopterous gall of Gelechia gallcesolidaginis, Riley, recharacterized]; E. 
gigantea, p. 300, 9. taken at large. E. studiosa (Say) is recorded (p. 299) 
as being bred from four different Cynipidous oak-galls, from five different 
Tenthredinous willow-galls, from six different Cecidomyidous galls on willow, 
goldenrod, and ironweed, from Aphidian and Coccidous leaf-galls on shell-
bark hickory, and from fungoid growth on pignut hickory. These are all 
stated not to differ from Say's species ; but slight colour vars. have been also 
bred from two other oak-galls. The N. American spp. of Decatoma are 
tabulated (p. 300), and the following new spp. and vars. described:—D. 
varians, ibid. f. 2, from oak-galls Q. podagree, Walsh, Q. spongifiea, Q. 
inanis, and Q. palustris, O.-S., and var. dubia from Q. mamma, Walsh; 
D. nigriceps, ibid, from oak-gall Q.ficus, Fitch, and var. exci-ucians, p. 301, 
from gall Q. seminator, Harr.; D. hyalipennis, ibid, cf and $ taken at large ; 
D. simplicistigma, ibid, from Cynipidous oak-galls, Q. erinaceus, Walsh, Q. 
petiolicola, Bass, and Q. ficus, Fitch; D. nubilistigma, ibid, from Cecido­
myidous willow-gall S. batatas, Walsh, and an undescribed gall on swamp 
white oak. Isosoma hordei (Harr.) is again discussed (pp. 320, 330) and 
figured (figs. 3 & 4), with details, and a long and interesting digression upon 
dimorphism in Cynips is made, as bearing upon the author's proposition that 
many insects, absolutely undistinguishable externally, yet of widely different 
habits, may be taken as differing widely internally, and therefore as being 
specifically distinct. On the other hand, the author admits that many di­
morphous forms of the same species are probably now erroneously considered 
to be distinct. The author proceeds to recharacterize (p. 367) Semiotellus, 
W e s t w , so as to properly include in it a new species which he had hitherto 
referred to Glyphe. This is S. chalcidephagus, sp. n, p. 368, f. 7, parasitic 
upon Isosoma hordei (larva also described). Finally, Walsh describes a new 
genus of Encyrtides, viz. Antigaster, p. 368, in which the body is capable of 
rolling up in the contrary way to that of Chrysis. Sp. A. mirabilis, sp. n , 
Walsh, I. c. p. 369, f. 9 $, Rock Island, Illinois. The cf, bred from eggs of 
Phylloptera oblongifolia, is described by Riley, ibid., and figured with its 
pupa &c. f. 10.

Bhoditcs rosce (L.), eglantcvice, Htg, spinosissimce, Gir. ; Diastrophus rubi, 
Htg. The author also enumerates 9 species of Cynips, of which he is only 
acquainted with the galls; 6 of these he describes as new, under the names 
C. ramicola, p. 395, infiorescentice and tegmentorum, p. 396, fasciata, marginalia, 
and vesicutvix, p. 397. 
P U T O N (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4e stir. x. Bull. p. xxxviii) raises the question 
whether the galls formed by Cynips are injurious to vegetation, such having 
been the case in an instance mentioned by him. 
M A K S H A L L (Ent. M. M. vi. pp. 178-181) tabulates and briefly refers to 
the British genera of the Inquiline, Aphidivorous, and Parasitic sections of

renum and C. agama. 
W A L S H and R I L E Y (Amer. Ent. i.), in a general article on American gall-
producing insects and their parasites, describe the economy and figure the 
galls of C. quercus spongifica (O.-S.), p. 103, fig. 78 ; C. quercus inanis (O.-S.), 
p. 104, fig. 79; C. quercusprunus (gall only described by Walsh, Proc. Ent. 
Soc. Phil, iii.), sp. n. They also name quercus mamma (p. 101, note) a gall 
resembling Q. globulus, Fitch, and referred to it by Walsh, I. c, but now dis­
covered to be produced by a different sp. from the insect causing that gall. 
After Walsh's death, Riley continues (I. c. ii.) the articles on American galls, 
but attributes the Hymenopterous portion exclusively to Walsh. H e de­
scribes the econopiy and figures the gall of C. q. seminator, Harris, p. 71, 
fig. 45; describes and figures (with doubt) the gall Quercus frondosa, Bas-
sett, p. 72, fig. 46 ; and a new gall, Lygodesmice pisum, p. 73, fig. 47, on the 
insect producing which a new genus is founded, p. 74. 
M U L L E R (Ent. M. M . vii. p. 38) records some observations on the dimor­
phism of American Cynipidee. 
A n odour, similar to that of ants or bees, exhaled by an American sub-
apterous sp. of Cynipidee, is mentioned by Muller, Tr. E. Soc. 1870, p. xvi. 
Muller also notes odours exhaled by Cynipidee in Zool. s. s. p. 2027. 
Andricus curvator, Htg. Muller (I. c. p. 39) describes the gall of this

N E W M A N (Ent. 80 & 81, p. 148) describes the larva of an unknown saw-
fly which feeds inside the stem of the lady-fern, causing a quantity of froth 
to exude through lateral apertures. 
For observations on the "Pear-tree slug'' (larva of a saw-fly), see Saun­
ders, Canad. Ent. ii. pp. 148 & 149. 
B E L L E V O Y E (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4» stir. x. Bull. p. xxxvi) mentions several 
Tenthredinidce as proceeding from cocoons inclosed in species of Helix. He 
infers that their presence in such a habitation is only due to the accommo­
dation afforded by the cavity of the shell. 
M O E A W I T Z (Hor. Ent. Ross. vii. Bull. p. xviii) records a Tenthredo with 
its right antenna bifurcated at the 3rd joint, from which a triarticulate sup­
plementary branch proceeded. 
A neural aberration in anterior wing of Selandria socia, Kl, is described 
by Ritsema, and figured, Tijdschr. Ent. 2nd ser. v. p. 182. 
V A N V O L L E N H O V K N (Tijdschr. Ent. 2nd ser. v. pi. 1. figs. 1-8) figures 
different stages of Ncmatits apjiendiculatus, Hart.; Emphytus serotinus, Kl, 
pi. 2 ; Cimbex femoretta (L.), pi 3 ; and some of the earlier stages of C. luco-
rum and syl'varum, Lophyrus pini, and ? Nematus venlvicosus, pi. 4; all which 
spp, -with Nematus vallator and N. septentrionalis, he discusses at some 
leng-th, /. c. pp. 56-74. 
Abia sericea is noted by Lock as feeding on Scubiosa succisa: Ent. 73, 
p. 20. 
Nematus pedunculi, Htg. Muller, Ent. M. M. vi. p. 184, gives details of 
the economy of this sp. 
W A L S H and R I L E Y (Amer. Ent. ii. pp. 45-50), in a general article on N.­
American galls and their architects, describe the economy, and figure the 
larvas and galls of Walsh's Nematus salicis pomum (f. 30), Euura salicis ovum 
(f. 31) and E. salicis gemma (f. 32). Saws of the former sp. are also figured 
in Amer. Ent. ii. p. 10, f. 10.

147. The larva and both sexes of this species, known in N. America as " the 
imported Currant-worm," are figured in Amer. Ent. ii. p. 16, figs. 7 & 8, where 
descriptions are given of the chief stages of the insect and its economy. 
"The native currant-worm," Pristiphora grossularice, Walsh, is in like

(h.) is the only species treated of in 1870 in this publication. 
G I R A U D (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4e stir. x. pp. 27-30) gives short characters 
for Janus (Steph.), and an account of the economy of J. femoratus, Curt, 
and its allies. He has bred that sp. from swellings in lower branches of 
young trees of Quercus pedunculatus at Fontainebleau and Vincennes, and 
notes that its parasite is Ephialtes inanis (Gr.). Ephippionotus luteiventris, 
Costa, cf = Cephus compressus (F.), which is also a Janus, and attacks 
pear-trees; whereas the other two spp. of Cephus (pygmceus, L , and arun-
dinis, Gir.) live in the stems of Graminacece. The author considers this 
difference of habit to substantiate the generic differences.

This work is disfigured by the large number of manuscript and misapplied 
generic names which it contains, to say nothing of innumerable misspelt 
names. Many species described by previous authors are reproduced here as 
new, without reference to their works. Such genera as are characterized 
appear to be founded, for the most part, on extremely insufficient characters.

GENERAL NOTES. 
KOCH (I.e.) analyzes the geographical distribution of the 
Lepidoptera at length. 
He remarks on the difficulty of obtaining reliable information, 
and then passes on to consider the five great zones of distri­
bution which he recognizes as distinct, as follows :— 
1. The European or Western fauna (nearly corresponding to 
Sclater's Palaearctic Region), distinguished by the genera Ar-
gynnis, Melitma, Thais, Lyceena, Satyrus, Erebia, Zygeena, and 
the Noctuce generally. Lepidoptera occur at all elevations (to 
9000 feet in the Swiss Alps, and to 18,000 feet in the Andes). 
\ anous North-American Sphinges and Noctua; have occurred 
in Britain, which Koch supposes to have crossed the Atlantic 
by flight [It may be remarked that all the North-American 
species taken m Britain have been taken not in Ireland or in 
G E N E R A L NOTES. 373 
the west of Scotland, but in England, and many of them near 
London.] The strongest-flying genera are usually the most 
widely distributed. The great areas of distribution are there­
fore not sharply defined, and it is an error to take the distribu­
tion of the very limited European fauna as the groundwork of a 
system applicable to the whole world. Most of the polar species, 
and those of Europe generally, occur throughout Central and 
northern Asia, while the Mediterranean fauna extends from the 
Canaries through North Africa and Southern Europe some dis­
tance into Western Asia. The great chains of mountains ex­
tending more or less continuously from the Caucasus to the 
Pyrenees form the boundary of the Mediterranean fauna on 
the north, and interfere more with the wider spread of species 
than either the Atlantic [?] or the Mediterranean. 
2. Africa, the region of the genera Anthocharis [Callosune], 
Acreea, Char axes, and Romaleosoma. The whole of the northern 
part of Africa belongs to the European fauna; and Africa may 
on the whole be regarded as a second section of it. The whole 
of North Africa, except the Mediterranean fauna, on this side 
the Atlas is very poor in Lepidoptera, compared with the oppo­
site European coasts, in consequence of the want of great forests, 
and the marshy nature of much of the flat country. Other 
causes are the heat and dryness of the summer, the burning of 
the vegetation by the inhabitants, &c. O n the whole, the Lepi-
dopterous fauna of Africa is very small for the size of the conti­
nent, owing to the great expanse of territory covered by rainless 
deserts. Several Indian species occur on the coasts of the Red 
Sea. The principal African genera of Rhopalocera are then 
enumerated, and the number of species occurring in Africa and 
the other quarters of the globe compared. The following genera 
are noticed as very poorly represented in Africa :—Euplaza, 
Danais, Thecla, and Hesperia. [No true Thecla occurs in Africa 
south of the Sahara ; but Africa possesses several characteristic 
genera of Lyccenidcs.] 
3. The South-Asiatic or Indian fauna: Asia, the district of 
the genera Ornithoptera, Danais, Euplcea, Limenitis, Adolias, 
Diadema, and Parnassius. This fauna extends over a still wider 
range than the European, and may be regarded as the original 
stem of the entire Old-World fauna. It extends from the moun­
tains of Central Asia, throughout India, China, a great part of 
Australia, and the Pacific Islands. Westward it extends to 
Arabia and Syria, where it touches the European fauna. 
4. Australia and Polynesia : the region of the genera Antipo-
dites, Agarista, Hecatesia, Synemon,. Tear a, Opsirhina, and Oike-
ticus. This fauna has without doubt been derived from the 
Indian by migration, insects being conveyed from one district to 
another across the sea by the monsoons. The species would then 
become rapidly modified by the influence of climate. Nothing 
374 INSECTA, LEPIDOPTERA. 
is known of the fauna of the interior of Australia; that of the 
north coast is entirely Indian; and, indeed, the Australian fauna 
is merely a branch of the Indian. Koch then remarks on some 
of the peculiarities of Australian forms. The entire Old-World 
fauna forms one great whole; but for convenience it may be di­
vided into the European and the Indian, the first corresponding 
with Sclater's Palaearctic Region, and the second including the 
whole of the remainder. 
5. The American or Transatlantic fauna, characterized by the 
genera Papilio*, Euterpe, Leptalis, Pieris,Myscelia,Catagramma, 
Callicore, Perisoma, Heterochroa, Morpho, Caligo, Euptychia, 
Heetera, Neonympha, Thecla, Castnia, Glaucopis, Euchromia, 
Hyperchiria; also the families Heliconidce, Erycinidee, and 
Hesperiidce. The American fauna is distinguished by its rich­
ness, containing more species than all the other quarters of the 
world put together, only the Indian fauna at all approaching it. 
It straggles to the north as far as Baltimore, where it passes into 
the European fauna. Still the fauna of the United States and 
Cabfornia has a character peculiar to itself, which it does not 
lose till we arrive at the circumpolar fauna. It is probable that 
if a chain of islands similar to the Indian archipelago extended 
across the Atlantic in the temperate zone, the North-American 
fauna would be richer in European forms. The principal 
characteristic genera found in South America are then enu­
merated. 
Probably, if Europe lay less to the north, the only two faunas 
which could be distinguished would be the western and the 
Transatlantic ; and the common origin of all the Lepidopterous 
faunas of the world is shown by the frequent coexistence of the 
same genera, distinguishable at a glance, in several or in all the 
widely separated regions of the earth. (Cf. D e Borre, Ann. Ent. 
Belg. xiii. pp. xx-xxiv.) 
M A A S S E N (S. E. Z. 1870, pp. 49-62) has published a critical 
analysis of Keferstein's ' Betrachtungen geknfipft an meine 
Schmetterlingssammlung' (S. E. Z. 1869, pp. 191-230; Zool. 
Rec. vi. pp. 346, 347). After pointing out the fallacies in 
Keferstein's calculation of the probable number of Lepidoptera 
existing in the world, he attempts to estimate the number him­
self, by taking the proportion of 26 moths to one butterfly, which 
he finds to exist in all approximately complete local lists in Eu­
rope. H e also estimates the total number of Lepidoptera in the 
world to be 26 times as large as in Europe. Speyer (Linn. Ent. 
Bd. xii.) estimated the probable number of Lepidoptera at 
130,000. [Cf. Bates, Tr. E. Soc. 1869, p. xlviii, who estimates 
them at 227,400, instead of 129,744, which is Maassen's total.] 
PapUio is much better represented in the Indo-Australian region than in 
America. See Wallace's essay on the Malayan Papilionidce. 
GENERAL NOTES. 375 
K E P E R S T E I N replies to some of Maassen's criticisms on his paper, S. E. Z. 
1870, pp. 353,354. 
SPEYER (S. E. Z. 1870, pp. 202-224) compares the structure 
and metamorphoses of the Lepidoptera and Trichoptera in full 
detail, in order to discover what relation exists between the 
orders. H e considers that the two groups are very nearly allied, 
the Trichoptera having been first developed, but that no very 
obvious links now exist between them. Acentropus he considers 
to be a true Lepidopteron, but a very old form. The most highly 
developed forms of the Lepidoptera are the butterflies ; then fol­
low the Sphinges, Noctuce, and Geometrce, while the Bombyces 
form a transition to the Microlepidoptera. 
H A G E N suggests that an examination of the genital segments 
would be of the greatest use in the determination of species in 
the most difficult groups of Lepidoptera, such as Argynnis, Hes-
peria, the Noctuidce, Acentropus, &c. S. E. Z. 1870, p. 316, 
note. 
J. W. DOUGLAS quotes from Hagen's paper, and adds some remarks of his 
own. Ent. M. M. vif pp. 43, 44. 
ZELLER (S. E. Z. 1870, pp. 81-89) publishes a critical analysis 
of Snellen's work on Dutch Macrolepidoptera. H e argues 
that misprints and slips of the pen in the spelling of scientific 
names ought to be corrected, and that our scientific nomenclature 
ought to commence with the last edition of Linnaeus's ' Systema 
Naturae.' H e entirely disapproves of the names there used being 
supplanted by those employed by Linnaeus in earlier works, or 
by obsolete names employed by Clerck, Poda, Scopoli, &c. 
BOISDUVAL protests against any of Hiibner's generic names being retained, 
whether characterized by subsequent authors or not, leaving it to be inferred 
that his own manuscript names are preferable. Pet. Nouv. E. no. 19.

in 1869. Arch. f. -Nat. 1870, ii. pp. 161-188. The part of the report re­
lating to general entomology also contains much relating to Lepidoptera. 
The concluding portion of the report on Lepidoptera is not yet to hand. 
W . M. C R O W F O O T (Tr. Norw. Soc. 1869-70, pp. 29-36) remarks on the 
breeding, variation, and localities of British Lepidoptera, the difference in 
the Indian and European butterfly faunae, and the resemblance in the Sphinx 
faunas. He classifies the Lepidoptera of Norfolk by their localities, as fol­
lows :—marsh, heath, coast, and foreign species, and those frequenting cul­
tivated ground.

Resemblances among Animals," which contains much matter relating to 
Lepidoptera. 
J. J E N N E R W E I R has published some additional notes on the relation 
between the colour and the edibility of Lepidoptera and their larvae, and 
suggests that the comparative abundance or scarcity of an insect may some­
times be due to the presence or absence of some particular bird that feeds 
upon it. Tr. E. Soc. 1870, pp. 337-339. 
Z E L L E R (Tijdschr. Ent. (2) v. pp. 229-262) has published a paper on 
the Lepidoptera of North-eastern Germany which appear towards the close 
of the year. H e divides them into hybernating species, late-appearing spe­
cies, hybernating late appearing species, and accidental stragglers, and enu­
merates the species under each heading, often with lengthy notices of their 
larvae and ordinary times of appearance. Only a small portion of the paper 
has yet appeared. 
A series of articles on insects injurious to the vine has been published in 
Amer. Ent. ii., commencing with the Lepidoptera, which are very fully 
figured in all their stages. These articles will be referred to under the

real line can be drawn between the Rhopalocera and Heterocera, 
and includes Synemon and Urania in his arrangement. 
H. J. S L A C K (Stud. n. s. i. pp. 49-58) has been examining 
the structure of the scales of butterflies. They consist of an 
upper and a lower layer (not three layers), and in deposits of 
matter coming from one or both, and lying between the two. 
" The so-called ' ribs' &c. of butterfly-scales seem to me only 
corrugations or wrinkles; and the beads, more or less distinct 
or coalescent, as the case may be, I take to be exudations in 
drops from the membranes, consoHdating, so far as they do 
consolidate, in a definite form." A plate is added, representing 
the scales of a few species. 
K I R B Y (P. L. S. x. pp. 494-503) has critically examined the 
synonymy of the principal genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera pub­
lished from 1767 to 1816. The rules he proposes are based on 
the well-known rules of the British Association. 
A. G. B U T L E R has published a ' Catalogue of Diurnal Lepi­
doptera described by Fabricius in the collection of the British 
Museum/ containing many valuable rectifications of synonymy, 
and the identification of many species previously unnoticed, or 
referred to genera at random by other authors. The original 
diagnosis (but not the description) is added to every Fabrician 
synonym.

W A L L A C E has reprinted the introductory portion of his paper on the 
Malayan Papilionidee, in which he reiterates his previously expressed opinion 
that this group is the highest among the Lepidoptera, and replies to various 
arguments which have been brought against this view. 
Ornithoptera priamus. Kirby remarks on the differences between Cramer's 
figure and the typical figure of this insect: Tr. E. Soc. 1870, p. 134.

whether P. hyale, Linn., may not= Colias edusa, Fabr.; P. coronea, Crani.,= 
P. java, Sparrm.; and P. gliciria, Cram.,=P. canidia, Sparrm.

Globiceps paradoxa, Feld. Plotz describes and figures this species as 
Pseudopontia calabarica. S. E. Z. 1870, pp. 348, 349, pi. 3. f. 1 a-f. Kirby 
inquires (Pet. Nouv. no. 15) whether G. paradoxa may not=Deloneura im-
maculata, Trim.; but Hewitson replies (I. c. no. 15 bis) that it is a Hetero-
cerous insect, and (I. c. no. 23) points out its identity with Pseudopontia. B. 
Felder figures it (/. e. no. 24) imder the new generic name of Gonophlebia, and 
remarks on its affinities. He still considers it to belong to the Pieridce. 
Aporia cratcegi. Life-history published by Newman, Ent. v. pp. 135,136. 
He suggests that its true place is near, if not next to, Doritis (Parnassius). 
Colias evnestius, Lap. Kirby states (Pet. Nouv. no. 19), on Butler's autho­

Pierisprotodice. Figured in all its stages in Amer. Ent. ii. pp. 60-77,, 
Pieris krueperi. Staudinger remarks on the variations of the broods of 
this species, and calls the first brood var. vernalis. He thinks that P. krueperi 
may very probably be a local race of P. gliciria, but that it would be very 
unwise to unite them under one name. Ilor. Ent. Ross. vii. pp. 33, 34.

Callidryas. Butler (Lep. Exot. pts. 3-6, pis. 9,12, 15,16) has commenced 
a monograph of this genus, and figures and describes the following known 
species:—C. crocale, C.fiava, C. catilla, C. gorgophone, C. scylla, C. chryseis, 
C. pyranthe, C. gnoma, C. pyrene. 
Butler states (Tr. E. Soc. 1870) that C. braeteolata= C. cipris, $ (p. 9, 
note), and that 0. alemeone and C. boisduvalii appear to be extreme variations 
of the same species (p. 11 and note). 
Rhodocera. Boisduval (Le"p. Guat. p. 10) suggests -that his B. lacordairei 
may be the <J of elorinde, Godt., and alludes to a variety of B. lyside named 
terissa in his collection, ignoring the description by Lucas (R. Z. 1852, 
p. 429). 
R. rhamni. A female with one fore wing partially coloured like the male 
is recorded by H. A. Bull, Ent. v. p. 179. 
Rhodocera rhamni and cleopatra. These species are certainly distinct, and 
proceed from different larvae. B. farinosa, Zell., is a variety of the first. 
Staudinger, Hor. Ent. Ross. vii. pp. 42, 43. 
Colias. Lederer (Ann. E. Belg. xiii.) notices the larva of C. aurorina 
(p. 19), describes two supposed varieties of C. myrmidone (p. 20), one of 
which is figured (pi. 1. f. 1, 2), and remarks that C. thisoa does not appear 
to be distinct from C. myrmidone (p. 21).

Colias anthyale, Hiibn. Moschler considers this species to be identical 
with C. pelidne, Bd., and with C. interior and C. labradorensis, Scudd.; C. 
occidentalis, Scudd., may, he thinks, be distinct. S. E. Z. 1870, pp. 113, 
114. [Boisduval and Edwards both consider C. anthyale to represent one of 
the varieties of C. philodice.]

is therefore discarded. 
B O I S D U V A L (Lep. Guat. pp. 27-35) states that the genera Lycorea and 
Ituna belong to the Danaides, and that Lycorea pasinuntia, ceres, and ater-
gatis are probably only modifications of one species. H e remarks on the larvae 
of Heliconia, Mechanitis, &c, doubts if Heliconia zuleika, Hew., truly belongs 
to the genus, states that Tithorea duenna, Bates, and tarracina, Hew., may 
ultimately form a new genus, proposes the name Xanthocleis for the genus 
Thyridia, Htibn. (sec. typ.,= Methona, Doubl, as restricted by Bates), de­
scribes as new Mechanitis doryssa (doryssus, Bates), refers Heliconia telchinia, 
Doubl. & Hew., to the genus Mechanitis, and substitutes the M S . name 
Ithomia euphane, Klug, for agrippina, Hew.

B U T L E R remarks (Cat. Lep. Fabr. pp. 128-135) that Pap. macaria, Fabr., 
= Planema euryta, $, Cram., and is distinct from the macaria of Godart; 
Acraa cavmentis, Doubl. & Hew., is a slight var. of Planema jodutta, Fabr., 
sp.; P. macarina, Butl. (Ashanti form of Acreca alciope, Hew.), is probably 
P. jodutta, cS; Pap. pasiphae, Fabr., = Pap. medea, Cram., is an aberration of 
Gnesia egina, Fabr. 
T B I M E N remarks (Tr. E. Soc. 1870, pp. 345-347) on specimens of Acrcea 
neobule, A. natalica, and A. anacreon, taken in Basuto-land by J. II. Bowker. 
He now considers A. natalica to be distinct from A. hypatia, 
Acraa andvomacha. Butler has observed some aberrations in the neuration 
of the hind wings of this species, which leads him to doubt the value of neu­
ration as a specific character in Ithomia &c. He thinks, too, that new genera 
may sometimes be formed by variations in neuration becoming constant.

B O I S D U V A L (Le"p. Guat. pp. 36-53) proposes the name Synalpe for Clothilda, 
Blanch.; remarks that Biblis aganisa, Boisd., and Didonis pasira, Doubl. & 
Hew., are perhaps only vars. of hyperia, Cram, (biblis, Fabr.), and that bon-
p/andi, Latr., is perhaps not a Synchloe; describes Synchloe panpera, Feld., as 
new; proposes the name Corybas for Pyrrhogyra, Iliibn., and states that P. 
otolais, Lacordaire [Bates], is probably only a var. of tipha, Linn.; remarks on 
Iletevochroa iphielus, Linn., and the species which have been confounded with 
it; notes the differences between Chlovippe lauva, Dru., and C. acca, Fold.; 
states that Apatura lucasii, Doubl. &Eow,,= c//««c, Latr.; proposes the name 
Helicodes for Pvotogoniiis, Iliibn.; and complains that Doubleday has applied 
his [MS.!] name cecvops to a variety of Prot. fabius, instead of to some Bra­
zilian species to which it belongs ; and notes that ryphea, Cram., which has 
been confounded by Godart with phidile, Hiibn., = Paphia helie, Linn. Si-
devone mens, Hew. [Bates], is probably the male of marthesia, Cram.

B U T L E R (Ent. M. M . vii. pp. 55-58, 92-99) has published a revision of 
the genera of Hesperida, adding a list of the species referable to each genus 
which are contained in the collection of the British Museum. Some new 
genera are characterized, and it cannot be doubted that the study of the 
group will receive a great impetus from this important paper. Butler regards 
Ismene Swains., as typical Hesperia, Fabr.; Carterocephalus, a name under

Setina. Speyer has published some very interesting remarks on this genus, 
with special reference to S. aurita and ramosa, which he considers to be 
almost, but not entirely, perfectly developed species. The three species 
which he considers the main stems of the genus are irrorella (with freyeri 
and andereggii), roseida (with kuhlweinii, alpestris, melanomos, wAfiavicans), 
and aurita (with ramosa). 
The following changes take place in Setina ramosa at a considerable alti­
tude : — 1 , the size diminishes; 2, the covering of the body is rougher and 
more matted, from the hair becoming longer and thicker; 3, in proportion 
to the thickening of the covering of the body, the thickness of the scaling of 
the wings diminishes; 4, the colour is generally paler; 5, the black mark­
ings are usually more extended; 6, the shape of the wings is altered. 
Corresponding changes take place in the mountain-forms of various species, 
while other species are unaffected by the altitude. In conclusion, Speyer 
attempts to explain the object of these modifications in moimtain-insects,

Bombyx mori and Sericiculture. 
G U E R I N - M E N E V I L L E publishes (R. Z. 1870, pp. 45-48, 72-80, 214-224) 
his usual series of reports on Sericiculture. H e records the continued success 
of Baron de Bretton, Madame Baumann, and M. Chazy in rearing Antheraa 
yama-mai; publishes a report from the French minister in Japan relative to 
the habits of the insect in that country, and the means adopted to rear it. 
(Of the eggs sent to France by this gentleman only 20 per cent, were fertile; 
and most of these hatched before the oaks were in leaf.) Guerin-Meheville 
also records an hermaphrodite specimen of Bombyx mylitta, bred by M. Henzi, 
and thinks that the epidemic among B. mori is gradually decreasing. 
M. Renard has sent eggs of a very strong Chinese race to France ; the silk­
worms were reared by different experimenters with varying success. Guerin-
Meneville attributes the epidemic to unwholesome food; and, while not 
placing much confidence in M. Pasteur's views, recommends that the matter 
should be further investigated. 
D E L A N D R E (R. Z. 1870, pp. 121-128) reviews the various publications on 
Sericiculture which have recently appeared'in England, Holland, Austria, 
Prussia and Sweden. H e publishes a letter from O. Zik, giving details of 
recent experiments in Austro-Hungary (pp. 153-158), and publishes (pp. 
189-192) an account of the progress of Sericiculture in Cochin China and 
Cambodia. 
A. W A L L A C E has published (Ent. Ann. 1871, pp. 101-107) some notes on 
Sericiculture, chiefly with reference to the feasibility of rearing Bombyx 
mori in England and the British colonies. For further remarks see Proc. 
E. Soc. 1870, pp. 10,11.

TlNEIDiE. 
V O N H E I N E M A N N has published another volume of his work 
on the Lepidoptera of Germany and Switzerland, containing the 
Choreutina, Atychina, and the first part of the Tineina. H e 
remarks (p. 15) that Exapate gelatella belongs to the Tortricina. 
His arrangement is nearly similar to that proposed by Herrich-
Schaffer in CB. Ver. Regensb. vol. viii. Von. Heinemann treats 
of the following 12 families in the present volume:—Talrnpo-
ridce, Lypusidce, Tineidcs, Adelidee, Ochsenheimeridce, Teichobidm, 
Acrolepidce, Hyponomeutidce, Plutellidm, Orthotelidce, Chimabac-
chida, and Gelechidee. Two-thirds of the volume are devoted 
to the Gelechidee; and the great genus Gelechia is entirely 
broken up. The family Teichobidce appears to be new: cha­
racters those of the genus Teichobia.

The Diptera described in this work number 319, all but three 
or four of which are considered new; but as the author very 
rarely refers to works published within the last twenty years, and 
as Schiner's Diptera of the 'Novara' voyage appeared in the 
same year, it is to be feared that many are only synonyms. 
Several large old genera, which have been broken up in recent 
years, he accepts " sensu latissimo."

the latter=/S'. affinis, Lw. (1840). H e will not sink his name affinis, because 
of a prior Seava affinis, Fab., as in the Syst. Antliat. Fabricius has called his 
species a Thereva [he, however, seems to overlook Say's Seava affinis, 1823],

MUSCIDJE. 
The arrangement of this family being still in a very unsettled state, the 
Recorder has thought it best to follow the subfamilies marked out in Schiner's 
Catalogue of European Diptera. The only alterations adopted are a reversal 
of their order, as agreed to by Schiner himself in Verh. z.-b. Wien, xviii.; 
and for temporary convenience the Ortalina include the genera arranged 
under that family by Loew. 
It will be most convenient to notice here two insects described by Loew 
in 1870, of which the Recorder has not seen the original descriptions; and 
as the genera appear to be new, he cannot refer them to their proper sub­
families. They are described in Loew's paper on Diptera from Turkestan in 
Nachr. Ges. Mose, and are 
Apostrophus suspectus, no. 27, and 
Anacampta robusta, no. 29.

G U E R I N - M E N E V I L L E , C. R. lxx. p. 844, remarks upon the fly parasitic 
upon silkworms in Japan, and proposes for it the name Tachina oudji. 
R O N D A N I , Bull. Ent. Ital. ii. p. 137, discourses upon the same parasite, for 
which, though he had only seen the larva and pupa, he proposed the new 
generic name of Ugimyia, calling the species XI. sericaria. 
C O R N A L I A , Bull. Ent. Ital. ii. p. 217, tav. iii. f. 1-22, gives a full history

Gymnopa, Meig., contending that, as Latreille's genus had remained unre­
cognized for 60 years, that alone proved insufficient description. The genus 
has recently been recognized from the peculiar habit of the species mentioned 
by Latreille. Loew, however, admits that he would adopt Mosillus if he 
could find any meaning in the word! H e adds that the genus cannot belong 
to the Oscinida, but is probably one of the Ephydrina.

H e defends his own priority of the description in Pet. Nouv. Sept. 15, 1869, 
and considers the insect only sufficiently distinct from the Pulicida to form a

These notes refer principally to Neuroptera; but there are also 
lists of additions to the Swedish Fauna in Diptera, Hemiptera, 
and Orthoptera. 
M ' L A C H L A N , in the ' Catalogue of British Neuroptera,' enumerates 323 
species as inhabiting the British Isles, and gives the complete synonymy 
known to him at the time of compilation. 137 species belong to the Pseude-
Neuroptera, 50 to the Planipennia, and 136 to the Trichoptera, into which 
three great divisions the Linnean order Neuroptera is divided. The Ephe-
tnerida are entirely compiled by E A T O N , the other families by the Recorder. 
TRICHOPTERA, NEUROPTERA PLANIPENNIA. 445 
Reviewed by Stein in B. E. Z. 1870, pp. 427, 428, and by Zeller in S. E. Z. 
1870, pp.425, 426.

TRICHOPTERA. 
WALLENGREN (CEfv. Sv. Ak. 1870, pp. 157-171) describes 32 known 
species as new to the Swedish fauna. H e has also (I. c. pp. 146-151) given 
a revision of Zetterstedt's species of the ASquipalpia, after an examination of 
the types. Phryganea nubila= Rhyacophila vulgaris, Pict.; P. charpentieri 
= Philopotamus montanus, Don.; P. umbrosa = Polycentropus fiavomaculatus, 
Pict.; P. waenerii and P. griseola= Tinodes lurida, C.; P. aureola = Tinodes

M ' L A C H L A N (Ann. E. Belg. xiii. pp. 1-12) revises many of Rambur's 
species, after an examination of the types. The Inaquipalpia had already 
been revised by Hagen; and M'Lachlan mostly agrees with his views, ex­
cepting that he states Limnephila scabripennis to be a Stenophylax, and not an 
Halesus. In the AEquipalpia he gives the following determinations :—Mys-
tacida venosa = Leptocerus nervosus, F.; M. albimacula = Leptocerus bimaculatus, 
St.; M. obsoleta = Setodes oehracea, O.; M. rufina = Leptocerus cinereus, C; 
M. leucophaa and subtrifasciata=Setodes leucophaa, R.; M. vetula=Lepto­
cerus dissimilis, St. 
W H I T E (Ent. M. M . vii. p. 53) records Limnophilus pavidus, Hag., and 
Phryganea obsoleta, Hag., from Inverness-shire, Scotland. 
Brachycentrus subnubilus. M'Lachlan (Ent. M. M. vii. p. 19) records a 
partially gynandromorphous individual of this species; the palpi and left 
anterior wing are female, but all the rest of the insect has male characters.

which are noticed below. The greater part of this paper is occupied by an 
elaborate outline of the anatomy and classification of the creatures, and de­
tails on experiments undertaken with a view of testing Bourlet's statements 
as to the reproduction of lost parts. His experiments were chiefly made 
upon the antennae; and he arrives at the conclusion that, although injuries 
to these organs are repaired, still a mutilated antenna never regains the 
proper number of joints, though the others become increased in length. With 
regard to the respiratory system, he adheres to his original statement that 
there are only two spiracles in Smynthurus, and that these are situated on the 
head, in opposition to the statement of Nicolet, who professed to have ob­
served a series of abdominal spiracles, and to that of Von Olfers, who could 
find only one pair, and these thoracic. The muscular system is minutely 
detailed and explained by beautifully executed illustrations on the two plates. 
His remarks on the classification of Thysanura are of great value. After re­
viewing the position assigned to them by various writers, and considering 
their external and internal anatomy, and the absence of metamorphoses, he 
arrives at the conclusion that, although more nearly allied to the Insecta 
than to the Crustacea -or Arachnida, he cannot regard them as OHhoptera or 
Neuroptera, or even as true insects. The Recorder, without venturing to 
approve this opinion in its fullest significance, commends it to the notice of 
those entomologists who, by including them in Neuroptera or OHhoptera, 
help to intensify an already existing chaos of discordant forms. 
M T N T I R E , M . J. Micr. Soc. iii. pp. 1-5, pi. xxxvii., enters into a minute 
microscopical examination of the scales of various species, and gives magni­
fied drawings in illustration of his subject. H e arrives at the conclusion 
that the scales are regularly corrugated as in Lepidoptera, and that there is 
no bead-like structure between the membranes, as has been suggested. 
B E C K , I. c. iv. pp. 252, 253, foUows upon the same subject, and asserts that 
the two surfaces are dissimilar, the upper being nearly flat, while the under 
is furnished with longitudinal ribs.

insects of this family. H e evidently refers to Atropos or Clothilla, and seems 
to regard these apterous forms as larvae of winged species. The Recorder 
believes he is mistaken in this supposition.

but refers bipunctata, Pictet, to maxima. 
EPHEMERIDiE.

not the same as the like-named species of Muller. H e redescribes the former 
as E. lineata, Eaton, and states that he has found it on the Thames at Read­
ing. H e also describes the imago of Baetis phaopa, Steph., I. c. p. 4, and of 
B. niger, L., 1. c. p. 0. Furthermore, according to him, Baetis montana, 
Hagen, is not Pictet's species; and he describes the former as Heptagenia

De S E L Y S - L O N G C H A M P S (Compt.-rend. Soc. Ent. Belg. 5 Nov. 1870) gives 
an outline of the arrangement of these insects adopted by him in his forth­
coming " Synopsis des Cordulines." H e divides them into two "Legions," 
Cordulia and Epophthalmia. Cordulia comprises three "genera," Cordulia, 
Epitheca, and Cordulephya. The genus Cordulia, again, is separated into two 
" subgenera," Hemicordulia, Selys, and Cordulia, Leach (restricted) : Epitheca 
comprises three " subgenera," Epitheca, Charp., Oxygastra, Selys, and Gom-
phomaeromia, Brauer. Epophthalmia is divided into four " genera,' Idionyx, 
Synthemis, Epophthalmia, and AEschnosoma. Epophthalmia is again divided 
into two "subgenera," Epophthalmia and Maeromia. The terms Hemicor­
dulia, Oxygastra, Cordulephya, and ^ Eschnosoma represent new divisions or, 
as the Recorder prefers to term them, genera. Some new species are indi­
cated, but not described.

W A L K E R has compiled four volumes of the so-called Catalogues of the 
OHhoptera of the British Museum—the " Blattaria " (bearing 1868 on its 
titlepage, with supplement thereto), " Gryllida," " Locustida," and a por­
tion of the " Acrydiida." Many " new genera " and multitudes of " new spe­
cies" are described therein. The Recorder has simply enumerated these. 
Like all the other "Catalogues" by this author, these bear the same in­
tensely mechanical stamp, and there is shown no evidence that he has com­
prehended the affinities of the insects he enumerates or describes, or that he 
conscientiously appreciates the probable results of his labours. It may be 
confidently expected that the justice of these remarks will be borne out by 
the verdict of orthopterists. So far as the Blattaria are concerned, Brunner 
van Wattenwyl, the highest authority on the family, has already approved 
them by anticipation. As a compiler the author has probably no equal; he 
should limit himself to compiling, and not plunge the knowledge of any family 
he undertakes into utter chaos by describing new genera and species. The 
few critical remarks here and there given are generally worthless, often abso­
lutely unintelligible, e. g. Blatta picticollis (Suppl. Blatt. p. 141) :—" This 
species appears to consist of the genera Blatta and Epilampra," leading one 
to infer that, to counterbalance his often-proved mistakes in having (in 
other orders) separated one species into many genera, he has, in this in­
stance, knowingly grouped insects of different genera under the same species. 
W A L L E N G R E N , CEfv. Sv. Ak. 1871, p. 182, records the addition of four 
described species to the Swedish fauna. 
G B A B E R , Verh. z.-b. Wien, 1871, pp. 367-380, enumerates 56 species ob­
served by him in Syrmia, a marshy district on the north bank of the Danube. 
Of these, 2 are Forficularia, 4 Blattida, 1 Mantida, 6 Gryllida, 17 Locustida, 
and 24 Acrydiida. H e accounts for the paucity of the list by the fact that 
the district is frequently inundated, and abounds in frogs and fen-frequenting 
birds.

S A U S S U R E (Melanges Orthopterologiques) gives a monograph of the Old-
World species of this family, in amplification of his previous paper in the 
Mitth. schw. ent. Ges. After prefacing his memoir by considerations of the 
characters, he gives the following table as an outline of his system:— 
A. Corpus et pedes non appendiculata. Antennae in utroque sexu simplices, 
setaceae vel pilosellae. (Pedes simplices scilicet teretes vel unicarinati, 
nee lobati, nee cristati. Vertex non conoideo-productus. Abdominis 
thoracisque margines non lobati, genere Gonatisto excepto. Elytra 
simplicia, marginibus integris.) N U D T P E D E S . 
a. Prothorax supra coxas antice dilatationem nullam efficiens, sed mar­
ginibus parallelis, vel caput versus latius marginibus subflexuosis. 
Orthoderii. 
b. Pronotum supra coxas dilatationem ovatam efficiens, apice antieo at­
tenuate Mantii. 
B. Pedes vel corpus appendiculata. (Pedes interdum lobati vel cristulati; 
abdominis vel thoracis margines frequenter dilatati; vertex interdum 
conoideo-productus; elytra interdum excisa marginibus sinuatis.) 
L O B I P E D E S . 
a. Antennae in utroque sexu simplices, setaceae Harpagii. 
b. Antennae plerumque in maribus pectinatae vel serratae; pedes ple-
rumque multicarinati Empusii. 
On his three plates he figures numerous species, either entirely or with 
regard to special characters. The New-World species are to be worked out 
in the " Mission scientifique au Mexique et dans l'Amerique centrale," the 
printing of which work was stopped for a time by the events of the war. 
Empusa brachyptera. Maklin (CEfv. Fin. Soc. 1870, pp. 35, 36) notices 
the occurrence of this species in Finland.

LOCUSTIDA. 
Opomala sicula, Serv. GHILLIANI (Bull. Ent. Ital. 1870, pp. 138, 139) 
identifies this insect with O. cylindrica, Marshall (=fasciculata, Charp.), 
which name has priority. 
Anabrus. T H O M A S (P. Ac. Philad. 1870, p. 74) redescribes this genus, 
and considers that it differs so little from Thyreonotus that its retention is 
scarcely necessary. 
Deinacvida. B U L L E R (Zool. s. s. 1867, pp. 849, 850) describes two known 
species of this genus from N e w Zealand, heteracantha and thoraciea. Tho 
former is very tenacious of life, but is gradually becoming extinct, which is 
LOCUSTIDvE. 459 
attributed by the natives to the introduction of the Norway rat. The latter 
infests the decayed wood of Coriaria sarmentosa, into which it bores.

ACRYDIIDA. 
E. BROWN (Ent. M. M. vii. pp. 1-3) remarks upon the occurrence of 
Acrydium peregvinum, Oliv., in various parts of England in October 1869. 
H e had not been able to discover that it had been seen in any other part of 
Europe; and it was not in any European Catalogue. 
F. S M I T H (Tr. E. S. 1870, Proc. p. xl) mentions that he had observed 
Asilus albiceps preying upon grasshoppers. 
Pachytylus migratorius and P. cinerascens. A discussion at the Entomolo­
gical Society of London is recorded respecting the distinctive characters of 
these two species, both of which have occurred in Britain (Tr. E. S. 1870, 
Proc. pp. viii, ix, and xiii). 
A N D R E O Z Z I has translated, from a Chinese work on agriculture, notes 
respecting the ravages of locusts in China, and the superstitions existing 
among the Chinese with regard to their origin. A n extract from this trans­
lation is given by S T E E A N K L L I in the Bull. Ent. Ital. 1870, pp. 77-82. From 
it we learn that records exist of the appearance of locusts in devastating 
numbers 173 times during a period of 1924 years. The three great causes of 
famine in China are placed as flood, drought, and locusts. The appearance 
of the latter were looked upon as direct evidence of Divine wrath, which was 
sought to be appeased by means of supplication and sacrifice. Later on 
ACRYDlIDJE. 463 
• another Chinese author asserted that there could be no doubt that locusts 
were generated from the eggs of crawfish !

middle of the stright side of the head; antennae long, thin, 1st joint pro­
jecting considerably beyond the front of the head and equal to the latter in 
length; 2nd one-third longer than the 1st, 3rd as long as the 1st, 4th half 
the length of the 2nd, spindle-shaped ; pronotum longish trapeziform, ante­
rior margin straight, without a keel, sides margined, behind the middle 
slightly concave; scutellum longish, triangular, with a sharp-sided triangular 
depression at the base and a middle keel, anterior thighs stout, compressed 
on the sides, widened in the middle on the underside, and with a stout short 
tooth, from thence to the apex a row of smaller teeth ; anterior tibiae slightly 
bent at the base, on the underside to beyond the middle with a row of small 
teeth and before the apex a large one; 3rd pair of tarsi not half the length 
of the tibiae, 1st joint scarcely twice the length of the 2nd and 3rd to­
gether. Sp. T.fiavipes, sp. n., Fieb. I. c. p. 247, Sarepta.

more than half the length of the pronotum; eyes hemispheric, their posterior 
margin resting on the anterior margin of the pronotum, beyond which they 
project; antennae stout, cylindrical, about as long as the head, pronotum, 
and scutellum together; 1st joint reaching to the front of the head, 2nd 
ahout twice as long as the 1st, 3rd as long as the 1st, 4th as long as the 2nd; 
pronotum longish, quadrate, narrowed in front, scutellum triangular, short,

1. C L A P A R E D E describes Annelids observed in the winter of 1868-69—some 
new, others mentioned already in his previous volume. The second part of 
Ehler's ' Borstenwtirmer' having appeared between the publication of the 
original work and this supplement, the author n o w avails himself of the 
opportunity of replying to some criticisms and discussing some views put 
forward by Ehlers. The book is very rich in anatomical, histological, and 
physiological details. The remarkable history of Nereis dumerilii is given 
at considerable length, with some additions to the account published in 1869 
in the 'Archives Suisses,' and with the addition of four plates in illustration. 
The facts already published are here reiterated :—(1) that JV. dumerilii attains 
sexual maturity; (2) that some specimens of JV. dumerilii become meta­
morphosed into Heteronereis, and then attain sexual maturity (probably not 
the same individuals which have developed sexual organs as Nereids, but 
others born from the eggs of these latter) ; (3) that there is a second Hete­
ronereis form also connected with JV. dumerilii, which is small and swims on 
the surface, the.first form being large and tubicolous ; the two Ilcteronereis-
forms develop from the Nereis-form, apparently at distinct seasons of the 
year. To these facts M . Claparede now adds that a Nereid herniaphrodite-
form is also included in the cycle, which, according to observations made by 
Metschnikow at San Remo, is probably the same as Moquin-Tandon's herma­
phrodite Nereis from Marseilles (JV. massiliensis). W h e n to all this is added 
the fact that the form recognized as Nereis dumerilii proper (so to speak) is 
itself exceedingly variable, the picture of specific indefiniteness is complete. 
Nereis cuttvifcva and its Heteronereid form are also described in this work; but, 
says M. Claparede;, there is no reason to suppose here the existence of sexual 
maturity in both Nereis- and Heteronereis-form. All specimens exhibiting 
ova or spermatozoa were already partially metamorphosed into the Hetero-
neveis-form. The discovery that Heteronereis is but the sexual condition of 
species of Nereis belongs to M. Malmgren. M. Claparede has shown how 
complicated the condition of things becomes in some cases by the develop­
ment of sexual organs in the larvae (for so the Nereids may be called), 
CHiETOPODA. 477 
either separated or hermaphrodite, and by the periodic substitution of surface-
swimming for areniculous adults. 
In pointing out the existence of a simple system of vessels in a species of 
Polynoe, which genus he showed in his former work to be, as a rule, 
anangian, M. Claparede refers to a work on the histology of Hermione hystrix 
as nearly ready for publication. His death (the greatest loss zoology has 
suffered for many years) will not, it is believed, prevent its publication. 
2. Professor G R I T B E took an opportunity last year of spending some 
weeks in examining the fine collection of Annelids in the Museum of Natural 
History at Paris, now arranged in agreement with the work of Professor 
De Quatrefages (Histoire des Annexes). H e revises many of that author's 
genera and species, pointing out some which are synonyms, and describing 
others in greater detail. The foUowing is a list of the Annelids referred to

3. R A Y L A N K E S T E R points out that the bodies considered by Claparede 
as parasitic Infusoria, which occur in the spermatic receptacles of the limi-
colous oligochaetous chaetopods, and to which the Swiss naturalist gave the 
name Pachydermon, are in reality the sperm-ropes or spermatophors of these 
worms. In this paper he figures those of Limnodrilus and Nais; in a paper 
published this year (1871) in the same journal, he figures those of two species 
of Tubifex, and enters minutely into their structure and mode of formation. 
The completely formed spermatophors of Limnodrilus and Tubifex exhibit 
very active movement, like that of a ciliated infusorian, due to the coordinate 
vibration of the filaments of the aggregated spermatozoa. 
4. L A N K E S T E R describes the cells of the perivisceral fluid of Chaetopodous 
Annelids as examples of cell-migration. H e considers that many are de­
tached from the endothelium of that cavity and then float in the liquid, 
some being given off from the yellow so-called " hepatic " portion covering 
the intestine and dorsal vessel, others from the portion which lines the body-
wall. H e also considers some of the cells in the case of Tubifex and Lum-
brieulus to be migrated muscular-fibre cells; others, again, he shows are the 
remnants of the generative glands, which appear to undergo a disintegration 
at some seasons after their activity has reached a certain point. 
5. M A C I N T O S H briefly states the contents of a paper by him as yet unpub­
lished, in which the anatomy of Tubifex is to be described in detail. Be 
considers that the corpuscles of the perivisceral fluid do not arise from the 
yellow glandular cells of the intestine, but are independently originated 
in the fluid. 
6. A species of Nereis parasitic on Hircinia fiavescens is figured and 
described. 
7. K E N T describes a new Sagitta from specimens preserved in spirit, 
obtained from Mr. Moore, of the Liverpool Museum. The new species is dis­
tinguished by a modification of the so-called " denticles," which assume the 
form of three very short setae. Three woodcuts illustrate the paper: ana­
tomical and histological points are not discussed. 
8. B R A N D T describes the perivisceral fluid of Sipunculus as containing red-
coloured corpuscules, also very strangely ciliated bodies which might be 
mistaken for parasites, and which he names " Topfchen." A special appa­
ratus for erecting the tentacular crown by means of the perivisceral fluid is 
described. The Topfchen are beset with cilia, each of which ends in a little 
knob, and are therefore called by Brandt cilia capitata (cilia capitata?). 
The so-called " brown tubes," which appear to be glandular organs, are also 
provided with these very remarkable cilia. The ovaries and the testes are 
free, and float in the perivisceral fluid. Brandt says they develop from 
original cells floating in the fluid, but does not say whence these latter come. 
H e remarks that the ripe spermatozoa are in form like those of vertebrates, 
and are contractile. This is a condition similar to what the Recorder has 
observed in a stage of the development of the spermatozoids of the oligo-
CH JETOPODA ACANTHOCEPH ALA. 479 
chsetous annelid Limnodrilus (Q. J. Micr. Sci. July 1870, and Ann. N. H . 
February 1871). Brandt's memoir is finely illustrated. 
9. B A L B I A N I finds that the egg of Strongylus gigas commences to develop 
in the uterus of the female, but soon stops, further development occurring 
after expulsion from the body of the host and in contact with water or moist 
earth. Five or six months elapse in winter between this period and the 
appearance of the embryo. The embryo can remain a year at least within 
the egg without perishing. If pressed out into pure water it is destroyed; 
it can only live in albuminous fluids : desiccation destroys it. A temporary 
host, at present unknown, is (the author concludes) occupied by the develop­
ing embryo, whence it migrates into its final host. 
10. M A R I O N describes, in ninety pages, illustrated with eleven plates, a 
number of non-parasitic marine Nematoids. Twenty-two supposed new 
species are described; and a special portion of the work is devoted to 
anatomical considerations. It is exceedingly remarkable that the author 
makes no reference whatever to the elaborate papers by Dr. Bastian on the 
very same subject, published in the Linnean Society's Transactions and the 
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. French naturalists cannot 
expect their work to secure respect when they ignore so completely the 
work of others. 
11. Z U R N investigates the question of the occurrence of Trichina as a 
parasite in insects. H e allowed flies to lay their eggs in some trichinized 
pig's flesh, and after examining 150 of the maggots found no indication 
whatever of their being affected with Trichina. H e suggests that cases of 
viviparous reproduction, such as that of the Cecidomyia-laxvee, may have 
given rise to the notion that insects are liable to Trichiniasis. 
12. M E T S C H N I K O F E discusses some of the forms described by Greet in a 
recent paper, which he has also met with in the Mediterranean. H e con­
siders that Greef has mistaken the testes of Echinoderes for ovaries, and the 
spermatozoa for embryos. Ziirn, of Jena, has recently shown that in the 
nematoid Spiroptera circinnata the converse mistake had been made by 
Muller, of Vienna, the young embryos of this viviparous form having been 
taken by him for spermatozoids. 
13. The Filaria was found in the pericardium of H. bennettii. Its anatomy 
is sketched. 
14. S C H N E I D E R took the eggs of the Echinorhynchus gigas from the pig, fed 
the larva of Melolontha vulgaris with them, and readily succeeded in watching 
the development of the eggs. With the larva of Tenebrio molitor and with 
Asellus aquaticus he did not succeed. H e found the embryo of Echino­
rhynchus gigas easier to observe than the species which have been studied by 
Leuckart and by Greef, because of its larger size. The difficulty of under­
standing the Echinorhynchi lies, he considers, not in a want of knowledge as 
to them themselves, but in the absence of once-existing intermediate forms. 
Their structure may be best explained by regarding them as double animals, 
the proboscis-apparatus being one animal and the sexual apparatus another, 
whilst the body-wall is common : both units are mouthless. The kind of 
aggregation seen in the Bryozoa is parallel to this. Such a view of the 
morphology of the Echinorhynchi is favoured by their developmental history, 
of which Schneider promises shortly a fuller account. 
15. V A N B E N E D E N (senior) extends his classification of parasites, giving 
480 V E R M E S . 
subdivisions of the two series, " true parasites " and " commensals," which he 
had previously proposed. H e also figures and describes a number of new 
and little-known cestoid and other parasitic worms found in fish occurring 
on the Belgian coast. 
16. K N O C H replies to a question raised by the French Academy in award­
ing honourable mention to his work on the Natural History of the Broad 
Tape-worm (1863), viz. Does the embryo of this worm develop directly into 
the adult Bothriocephalus, or does it undergo other metamorphoses in order 
to reach this last condition? In spite of the facts contained in Enoch's 
memoir, Leuckart, Bertolus, and others supposed that fish were intermediary 
in bringing the worm to man, an hydatid form possibly developing, as in the 
case of Tcenia and its Cysticercus. Knoch proves, by feeding a young dog, 
that the Bothriocephalus lotus develops direct from the ciliated six-hooked 
embryo. H e had previously endeavoured, with negative results, to obtain an 
hydatid form by feeding fish with the embryos. 
17. (a) The development of Ligula and Trieenophorus, (b) Tania malleus, 
Goeze, (c) Distoma caudate of Rudolphi, are the subjects of these notes. 
18. M E T S C H N I K O F F considers that the formation of the daughter and of 
the so-called grand-daughter proceeds from the common mass of completely 
identical embryonal cells, which divide into a peripheral part, which be­
comes the daughter, and a central part, giving rise to the so-called grand­
daughter. H e discusses the homologies of various larval Trematoid and 
Cestoid forms. 
19. PHILIPPI, writing from Santiago, describes and figures (not in great 
detail) the very curious leech, bearing five long tentacles or digitations at its 
cephalic extremity, to which Blanchard gave the name Temnocephala chi-
lensis. Its exact habitat was not previously known. Philippi finds it on 
the gills and under the tail of the freshwater crustacean JEglea. 
20. V A I L L A N T , in about seventy pages and with two plates, gives an 
account of the viscera of Pontobdella verrucata. H e does not treat of the 
histology in detail. 
21. M E T S C H N I K O F F describes various Echinoderm-larvae, and also the 
development of the PUidium-laxvai of certain Nemerteans. U p to this time 
the development of the Pilidium from the egg had not been observed. The 
material on which the author began his work was handed over to him by 
Kowalewsky when leaving Messina in April 1868. The embryonal develop­
ment of the Nemerteans observed by Desor, M a x Schultze, and Van Beneden 
did not present the Pilidium-stage ; and, indeed, the last author, in a paper on 
" commensalism," mentions the young Nemertean in the Pilidium-la.rva, as a 
case of parasitism. Metschnikoff describes carefully the Nemerteans from 
which he obtained the eggs the subsequent development of which he 
studied, but he does not identify them with any known species. The yelk-
segmentation in the Nemertean egg was complete, leaving a central seg­
mentation cavity. The first commencement of the formation of the Nemer­
tean body in the Pilidium consists in two pairs of inversions of the skin, 
which form not only the worm but the amnion surrounding it. The cavity 
arising from the inversions becomes the amnion-cavity. T w o median 
vesicles also form, which later are connected with the lateral vessels of the 
worm. The germ-stripe (Keimstreif) is represented by the four plates thus 
formed, and can be separated into an inner and outer layer (Keimblattern) : 
CESTOIDEA ROTIFERA. 481 
the outer gives rise to the epidermis and central nervous system; the 
inner, thinner layer develops the muscular portions. The head and ventral 
wall are represented by the germ-stripe, formed by the growing together of 
the four plates, whilst the covering-in' of the dorsal region is a secondary 
formation. The proboscis arises as a simple inversion at the anterior end 
of the germ-stripe. A peculiar form of Pilidium-laxva, found at Odessa is 
also described by the author, in which he recognizes a rudimentary nervous 
system in thickened portions of the epidermis. A n important comparison 
of the development of Echinoderms and Nemerteans follows this, and con­
clusions as to the affinities of the Echinodermata. Twelve quarto plates 
illustrate this valuable memoir, of which two belong to the developmental 
history of the Nemerteans. 
22. V A N B E N E D E N (junior) describes Macrostomum viride, n. sp., from a 
freshwater ditch at Louvain, and another found among fucoids on the coast 
of Brittany, to be caUed M. claparedii. The anatomy ^.and histology of the 
two forms are given with detail and precision, the first-named being figured 
in a plate, whilst figures of the second are referred to as given in the author's 
" Recherches sur la composition et la signification de l'oeuf," M e m . com*, de 
l'Acad. Roy. de Belgique, t. xxxiv. Van Beneden is led to erect Oersted's 
genus Macrostomum into a family, Macrostomiens, in which he recognizes 
the following genera and species :— 
Macrostomum, ffirst \M- Mstrix> Crated. 
IM. viride, Ed. v. Ben. 
Omalostomum, Ed. v. Ben J °' sch»l^h Clap. 
| O. claparedii, Ed. v. Ben. 
Mecynostomum, Ed. v. Ben Jlf. auritum, M. Schultze. 
Some very important facts in support of the author's views on the 
vitellogenous glands and their relation to the yelk are described. 
23. C U B I T T describes with much care the trochal disk in Stephanoceros 
and allied forms. H e finds the eye to be double, and not single as stated 
by some authorities. H e also finds branched nerve-cells in the so-called 
brain. H e announces new views as to the contractile power of the water-
vascular system, and declines to admit the existence of a cilium pro­
ducing the " flickering appearance " in the vibratile tag, as described by 
Huxley in Lacinularia. Other observations, evidently made with care, and 
therefore worthy of attention, are recorded in this paper. 
24. H U D S O N gives a similar essay on the structure of Synchata. 
25. Tornaria was first described by Johannes Muller; it has since been 
seen by Krohn, Fritz Muller, and Alex. Agassiz. Metschnikoff describes 
and figures it carefully. H e points out its possible affinities, and concludes 
that, if it is not the larva of Balanoglossus, it is, at any rate, very much like 
that strange worm.

' Porcupine' Expedition of 1 8 6 9 . — C A H P E N T E R , J E F F R E Y S , and W Y V I L L E 
T H O M S O N record the occurrence of the following species in the area dredged 
(extending from the west of Ireland to Rockall Bank, the Faeroes, and 
Shetland):—Cidaris papillata, Echinus elegans, Spatangus raschi, Brisinga 
endecacnemos, off the west of Ireland; PouHalesia miranda, S.E. from 
Rockall; Ophiocten kreeyeri, Ophiothrix fragilis, Amphiura balli, Ophiacantha 
spinulosa, off the S.W. extremity of Ireland; Asteronyx loveni, N . W . of He­
brides and in the Minch. The " cold area " was found to be extraordinarily 
rich in Echinoderms, mostly of a decidedly boreal or even arctic character 
(e. g. Antedon eschrichti), while many of the southern types which presented 
themselves were much reduced in size. 
Various Echinoderms are also recorded by the same authors (P. R. Soc. 
Dec. 8, 1870) as taken in the ' Porcupine' Expedition of 1870, off the 
French, Spanish, and Portuguese coasts, and in the Mediterranean. 
M E T Z G E R (I. c.) records the following Echinodermata from the 
East-Frisian coast, the investigation of which, owing to its topo­
graphical peculiarities, is accompanied with very considerable 
difficulties:— 
Asteracanthion rubens, M . & T.; Solaster papposa, Forbes ; Ophiura textu-

V O N M A R T E N S (Arch. f. Nat. pp. 245-260) gives a list of 63 
species from the Indian Ocean, from East Africa to the Poly­
nesian Islands. Twenty-four species were found by the author 
himself in the Indian archipelago ; and of these the following 
are new:— 
Ophiactis maculosa, South Chinese Sea, between Singapore and Bangkok; 
Ophiomyxa brerispina, Amboina; Ophiocoma temispina, Larentuka, Isl. 
484 ECHINODERMATA.

Ophiothrix serrata, sp. n., Kuhl & van Hasselt, sp., described by Herclots 
(I. c. p. 9), Cape Bantam. 
AsTEROIDEA. 
OWSJANNIKOW'S researches on the nervous system of Starfishes (Bull. Pi5t. 
pp. 310-318) were made on Asteracanthion rubens, tenuispinus, glacialis, As-
tropecten glacialis, and others. The nervous ring is a flat band, containing no 
sweUings or ganglia, and not different in structure from the ambulacral nerves, 
which latter possess nerve-cells as well as fibres. The ambulacral nerve 
forms a demicanal, the fine membrane closing the canal above (dorsally) con­
taining cells and fibres which the author does not consider to appertain to the 
nervous system. The general rule that, in the lower forms of animal life, 
the nerve-elements are of considerable size, does not hold here, as the cells are 
small and the fibres fine. 
P E R K I E R (Ann. Sc. Nat. xii. p. 197) shows that the Asteroidea with four 
rows of ambulacra in each groove (Asteracanthion, Heliaster) are also very 
different as regards their pedicellarise from those with only two rows. In the 
first group there are two forms of pedicellarise, the straight and the over­
lapping : both possess two jaws and a basilar piece ; but in the decussating 
form (pedicellaires croisees) the jaws cross each other below like the two 
blades of a pair of scissors. In the second group, including the greater num­
ber of Starfishes, the basilar piece is gone, and the pedicellaria is sessile on 
the body of the Starfish. Here there are also two forms of these organs, 
valvular and pincer-shaped. Pedicellariae are absent in the genera Solaster, 
Chataster (?), Ophidaster, Sentaster, Astropecten, and Echinaster. 
The following new species in the Paris Museum, some of which were pre­
viously named by Valenciennes, are described by Perrier (I. c. pp. 243-298) :— 
Aster acanthion lacazii ( = Echinaster eehinura, Val.), South Carolina; Echi-
naster clouei, Val, E. affinis, North of India ; E. ornatus, Cape of Good Hope; 
Ophidiaster atteuitatits, Zanzibar ; O. irregularis, Mayotte; O. purpureus, allied 
to O. cylindricus, Seychelles ; Ophidiaster (?) vestitus (perhaps an Echinaster), 
Mayotte ; Scytaster indicus, India ; Culcita arenosa, Val., Sandwich Islands ; 
C.pulcevulenta, Val., le Sonde ; Oreaster clouei, Diego Jouares; O. mammosa, 
Val, Zanzibar; Astrogonium emilii, locality unknown; A. dubium(?) (per­
haps a variety of A. cuspidatum, Miill. & Trosch.), locality unknown ; Gonio-
discus avticulatus, Seychelles; G. acutus, N e w Holland; G. michelini, Ma­
zatlan; Asteviscuspulchellus, Val, Messina; A. calcaratus, Val, Valparaiso; 
A. exiguus, Val, New Holland; A. wega,Yal., locality unknown; Astro­
pecten pevarmatus, South Seas; A. samoensis, Samoa; A. mulleri, Val., 
Copenhagen; A. myosurus, Val, Mediterranean. 
The following are described by Philippi (Arch. f. Nat. pp. 268-274) from 
the Chilian seas :— 
Goniodiscus penicillatus, Asteracanthion clavatmn, A. fulvum, A. spectabile, 
A. mite, A. curium, A. fitly ens.

I to the singular new soft urchin referred to under Echinoidea. 
ECHINOIDEA. 485 
ECHINOIDEA. 
Reparation of broken spines.—Carpenter (M. Micr. J. p. 225) gives up the 
idea that the reparation of broken spines in Sea-urchins is effected by any 
" investing membrane " of the spine. The restorative power he considers to 
reside in the protoplasmic matrix filling up the interspaces of the calcareous 
network of the spine; and the continuity of the new growth with the outer 
layer of the stump, and its apparent derivation therefrom, while it is abruptly 
marked off from the central part, he accounts for by supposing that this 
" sarcodic basis substance " may after a time cease to occupy the older and 
inner portions of the spine, and become restricted to the newer and outer. 
Pedicellaria and Ambulacra.—A very minute description of these organs in 
the Echinoidea is^given by Perrier, Ann. Sc. Nat. xii. p. 197. A s regards 
the Irregular Urchins, he had, at the time this paper was published, not de­
tected calcareous terminal rosettes on the ambulacra of any of the °-enera 
while he had found pedicellaria? only in the Spatangoids. Most specimens 
of Irregular Urchins, as they occur in museums, have their external ap­
pendages pretty well .rubbed off. However, in a subsequent short paper 
(I. c. t. xiv. 1870), M . Perrier states that he has found calcareous rosettes on 
the ambulacra of Echinoneus, and mentions also two different forms of pedi-
cellariae from the same genus. 
The same author (N. Arch. Mus. v. p. 226), after carefully examining the 
disposition of the ambulacral pores of the regular echinids, gives the follow­
ing classification of the group, embodying also his previous researches on 
their pedicellariae and ambulacral tubes :— 
Regular or Endocyelical Urchins. 
Openings of the intestinal canal situated at the two poles of the test. 
Anus surrounded by genital and ocular plates. Ambulacra not petaloid ; 
ambulacral tubes terminated by a flattened disk, which is supported by a 
calcareous rosette of from four to six pieces serrated at their outer margins 
and united by a calcareous framework surrounding the central orifice. 
I.—Test circular. Pedicellariae of three pieces. 
A.—Ambulacral areas narrow, each semiarea containing only a double 
line of pores, more or less flexuous. Pedicellaria-head directly fixed to a 
solid prolongation of the stem. Spicules of the ambulacral tubes spindle-
shaped, or forming arcs of circles roughened with spines. Tubercles of the 
test crenulated and perforated. 
Genera : Cidaris, Leioeidaris, Goniocidaris. 
B.—Ambulacral areas large; each ambulacral plate presenting from 7 to 9 
pairs of pores disposed in a double flexuous line in the upper and middle 
regions of the test, but accumulated without order near the peristome. 
Pedicellaria of the ophiocephalous type, not directly fixed to the stem.' 
Spicules of the ambulacral tubes spindle-shaped. Tubercles of the test not 
crenulated or perforated:—"Echinoeidariens." 
Genus Echinocidaris. 
C—Ambulacral areas broad. Pores disposed in more or less oblique trans­
verse bands of 3 pairs. Pedicellariae not directly fixed to the stem, and be­
longing to the tridactyle type. Spicules of the ambulacral tubes irregularly 
branched or in the form of irregularly perforated plates, along withVhich 
m a y occur some simple arcuate spicules. Tubercles of the test crenulated 
and perforated:—"Diade'miens." 
Genera: Diadema, Savignya, Asteropyga. 
486 ECHINODERMATA. 
D.—Ambulacral areas broad. Pedicellariae of four different forms—gem-
miform, tridactyle, ophiocephalous or buccal, and trifoliate (the last form 
absent perhaps in some genera)—and never directly fixed to the stem. 
Spicules of the ambulacral tubes arcuate, with the extremities curved down­
wards, simple or surmounted with a hook at each of the lateral curvatures. 
1. Pores disposed in transverse ranges of three pairs. 
a. Impressions around the ambulacral and interambulacral plates; 
pores at the angles of these plates. Tubercles sometimes crenu­
lated, never perforated :—" Salmaciens." 
Genera: Temnopleurus, Salmacis, Microcyphus, Mespilia. 
/3. Neither impressions nor pores at the circumference of the plates. 
Tubercles neither crenulated or perforated:—" Echiniens." 
Genera: Amblypneustes, Echinus, Sphcerechinus, Psammechinus, Boletia. 
2. Pores disposed in more or less curved ranges containing 5 or 6 pairs:— 
" Loxechiniens." 
Genera: Toxopneustes, Loxechinus. 
3. Pores forming in each ambulacral demiarea two regular lateral 
bands, between which are found, sometimes an irregular median 
line, sometimes an unlimited number of sporadic pores:—" Tri-
pneustiens." 
Genera: Tripneustes, Holopneustes. 
E.—General characters of group D ; but the spicules of the ambulacral 
tubes have the form of perforated plates :—" Heliocidariens." 
Genus Heliocidaris. 
II—Test elliptical. Pedicellariae of the tridactyle, ophiocephalous, and 
gemmiform types, the latter having the jaws terminated by unsymmetrical 
hooks. Pores disposed in ranges of four pairs at least, this number of 
pairs increasing towards the summit of the test. Spicules of the ambu­
lacral tubes simple, arcuate, recurved downwards at their extremities:— 
" EchinomStriens." 
Genera : Echinometra, Aerocladia, Podophora. 
Verrill (Am. J. Sc. vol. xlix. p. 101) maintains the validity of his generic 
name Euryechinus for E. drobachiensis and E. lividus, the name Toxopneustes 
having been originally applied by Agassiz in 1841 to urchins of a different 
generic type. Toxocidaris, A. Agassiz, 1862, he considers also synonymous 
with Toxopneustes, Agass. 1841. 
Carpenter, Jeffreys, and W . Thomson mention (P. R. Soc. Nov. 18, 1869, 
p. 450) an Echinid allied to Astropyga, but with a flexible test, taken N. W . 
of the Hebrides. The same naturalists found it again off the coast of Spain 
(U>. Dec. 8, 1870, p. 154).

HYDROZOA. 
HYDROIDA. 
A L L M A N , Trans. R. Soc. Edinb. xxvi. pp. 97-106, gives, by means of brief 
formulas, some very clear illustrations of the law of the genetic succession of 
zooids in the Hydroida, from the simplest to the most complex phases of 
polymorphism in this class. H e draws also some interesting comparisons be­
tween the arrangement of generative zooids in many Hydrozoa and several 
forms of inflorescence in plants. 
M E T S C H N I K O F F (Bull. Pe't. xv. pp. 95-100) observed the development of 
the ova of an Oceania (allied to O.fiavidula, Gyl), and of a Tiara (related to 
T. smaragdina, Hack.) into planulae and polype-stocks. Cunina (ASgineta) 
fiavescens and AZginopsis mediterranea were observed directly developed from 
eggs. In Carmarina hastata, the youngest form described by Hackel was also 
seen to be developed directly from the egg. In Cunina rhododactyla the buds, 
some found already loose in the stomach, others developed from the back of 
the parent, formed medusids agreeing so with the adult, in their marginal 
Vesicles and tentacles, that there is here no dimorphism of the two genera­
tions. 
G R E E F F has described (Z. wiss. Zool. 1870, p. 37) a hydroid polype, re­
sembling in the principal points of its structure the ordinary freshwater 
1870. [VOL. VII.] 2 K 
490 CCELENTERATA. 
Hydra, but being entirely destitute of tentacles. The body consists of two 
well-marked layers, outer and inner; the outer has no pigment, but contains 
large thread-cells. The author, however, could not detect any epithelial 
layer lining the cavity of the body, nor did he find cilia in any part. No 
sexual reproduction or sexual form was observed; but the polyp reproduced 
itself freely by division. To this form Greefl applies the name of Protohydra 
leuckarti, and looks on it as one of the oldest surviving stock-forms of the 
Coelenterata, and especially of the Hydroid type. Hab. Ostend, among 
diatoms and algae. 
M E T Z G E R (JB. Ges. Hann. 1869-70) gives the foUowing list from the East-
Frisian coast:— 
Mesonema henleana, Koll.; Callirhoe basteriana, Peron ; Thaumantias he-
mispharica, Peron ; Tubularia coronata, Van Beneden ; T. dumoriierii, Van 
Ben. ; Syncoryne pusilla, Gaert.; Hydractinia echinata, Van Ben.; Campanu-

M E T S C H N I K O F F contributes (I. c.) some notes on the development of 
Galeolaria aurantiaca, Halistemma rubrum (Agalma rubrum, Vogt), Hali-
stemma, sp., Agalma punctatum, and Physophora hydrostatica. 
S T U A R T (Arch. Anat. Phys. 1870, p. 366) gives an account of the 
development of the medusa-buds in Velella spirans. H e believes that 
Chrysomitva sjj/>««s = medusid of Velella. 
DlSCOPHORA. 
S C H X E I D E U (Arch. mikr. Anat. vi. p. 363) describes the structure of the 
scyphistome and strobile forms of Aurelia aurita, obtained on Zostera-leaves 
from Kiel in Feb. 1869. According to those researches the author holds it 
now proved that Scyphistoma does not represent the Hydroid, but the Medu-
soid form of the Coelenterata. 
H I N C K S points out that the observations communicated by Mr. M'Andrew 
to Dr. Gray, and published in the Annals of Nat. Hist, for Oct. 1869, of Sea-
jellies (Medusa aquovea, Forskfd) having been seen lying on their backs at 
the bottom of the clear waters of the Red Sea, with their tentacles ex­
panded like a flower, had long ago been made by Mertens, who, as quoted 
by Agassiz, had constantly found Medusa (Polyclonia) mertensii in the lagoons 
of Ualau, " with their arms spread and turned upwards." Note on the habits 
of the Discophora, Ann. N. H. (4) v. p. 145. 
BRA.NUT (Mem. Pe"t. 1870) describes with great minuteness the gastrovas-
cular system of Rhizostoma cuvievi. He points out a certain amount of bi­
lateral symmetry in the body of Rhizostoma, and found also in young indi­
viduals, from 8 to 20 centims. high, the remains of the original central 
mouth. He rejects the idea that these animals are in any sense to be con­
sidered colonies, agreeing with Fritz Muller that we may often see a 
similar, though temporary, polystomy in Hydroid Medusaj, when the edges

Geographical Distribution, 
V E R R I L L (Tr. Conn. Ac. i. p. 503) gives a table of the geographical distribu­
tion of the Polyps of the West Coast of America, arranged according to the 
same provinces or topographical regions as those already Used by the same 
author in the case of the Echinodermata. 1. The Arctic province has yielded 
4 species, also found on the Atlantic coasts of America and Europe. 2. 
The Sitchian [!] prov. 2 sp. 3. The Oregonian prov. 7 sp., of which 3 are pecu­
liar to it. 4. The Californian prov. 8 sp., of which 5 are peculiar to it, the 
other 3 occurring also in the Oregonian. 5. The Panamian [!] prov., the richest 
of all, has yielded 116 sp., of which 104 are peculiar to it: this region is subdi­
visible into 3 subprovinces,—A. Mexican, containing 42 sp., of which 20 are 
peculiar, 16 in the Panamian (proper), and 6 are common to all three subdi­
visions ; B. Panamian (proper), containing 80 sp., of which 51 are peculiar, 
16 occur also in the Mexican subprovince, and 7 in the Ecuadorian; C. 
Equadorian, comprising 17 sp., of which 4 are peculiar, 7 are common to it 
with the Panaman, and 6 are found in all three. 6. The Peruvian prov. has 
vielded 15 sp., all peculiar to it but one (Bunodes papillosa). 7. The Chilian 
prov. 11 sp., all peculiar to it but the above-cited B. papillosa, common to it 
With the Peruvian. 8, The Fuegian, 6 sp., all peculiar to the province. The 
Panaman province is very rich in Madreporaria and Alcyoniaria. There are 
no Madreporaria recorded from the Arctic or Sitkhan provinces; but 2 
(Balanophyllia elegans, Verr., and Allopora venusta, Yen:) occur in the Ore­
gonian ; one Astrangia is recorded from the Straits of Magellan. 
D U C H A S S A I N G (I. c, p. 8) asserts that the types of Actinozoa dominant in 
the Caribbean Sea are Zoantharia malacodermata, Astraida, and especially 
Gorgonida, but that the fauna of this sea is distinguished by a characteristic 
and almost complete absence of Stylinacea and Fungida. 
Only Alcyonium digitatum, L., Pennatulaphosphorea, h., Actinoloba dianthus, 
Sagartia viduata, Miill, and Tealia crassicornis, Miill., occur in Metzger's list of 
Actinozoa from the East-Frisian coast. JB. Ges. Hann. 1869-70.

Dr. G R A Y (Ann. N. H. (4) v. pp. 405-408) has established the following 
new genera from specimens in the British Museum :— 
Busella, gen. nov., Gray (ibid. p. 405). B. occatoria=Rhipidogorgia ocea-
toria, M.-Edw. & Haime, Guadeloupe. 
Muritella, gen. nov., Gray (ib. p. 405). M. fucosa= Gorgoniafucosa, Valen. 
(= Gorgonia palma va,r. alba, Esper, and G. albicans, Koll). 
Boarellafiabellata, gen. et sp. nov., Gray (I. c. p. 406). Coral branched in 
a plane, fan-shaped, forming an oblong frond with a single stem; branches 
and branchlets slender, nearly of the same diameter, netted; branches di­
verging and often inosculating, some of the marginal branchlets free. Bark 
thin, formed of thin scales or spicules. Polyp-cells subcylindrical, elongate, 
truncate, membranaceous, translucent, with a circular mouth with 10 mar­
ginal folds and 10 short valves in an irregular series on each side of the 
branches, diverging in different directions, one, sometimes two or three 
together. Axis continuous, horny. British Museum. Locality unknown. 
MenaceUa, gen. nov., Gray(Z. e. p. 406). M. reticularis•= Gorgonia reticularis, 
Pallas. 
Phaoeella, gen. nov., Gray (/. c. p. 406). P. tuberculata= Gorgonia tubercu-
lata, Esper. 
Bovella ramulosa, gen. et sp. nov., Gray (/. e. p. 407). Coral branched, 
fan-shaped, expanded into an oblong frond; stem simple; branches and 
branchlets slender, of the same diameter throughout, branches radiating and 
irregularly furcately divided, with abundance of short branchlets arranged 
rather pinnately and diverging at nearly right angles, forming a more or less 
regular network; many of the branchlets, especially the marginal ones, free. 
Bark furfuraceous, formed of very small soft spicules or thin scales. Polyp-
cells circidar, prominent, with a sunken centre and a furfuraceous surface, 
494 COELENTERATA. 
placed on all sides of the branchlets and on the internal surface of the 
branches, Axis continuous, horny, black. British Museum. Locality not 
given. 
Menella indica, gen. et sp. nov., Gray (I. c. p. 407). Coral cylindrical, end 
(of the branches ?) clavate, rounded, surface spiculose. Polype-cells on all 
sides of the cylindrical stem (and branches), close together, forming a rough 
spiculose surface with hexagonal areolae. Polypes retractile: when retracted, 
convex, with an oblong concavity, surrounded with spicides. Axis horny, 
black. Hab. Bombay. 
Lignella, gen. nov., Gray (I.e. p. 407). L. richardi= Gorgonia richardi, 
Lamx. 
Leucoella cervicomis, gen. et sp, nov., Gray (I. e. p. 407). Coral branched, 
fan-like, in the same plane, compressed; branches furcate, upper side convex 
or angular, lower side concave, smooth, barren, with a more or less wide cen­
tral groove. Bark thin and smooth. Polype-cells large and spherical, scat­
tered or in lines on the upper surface and margin of the stem and branches. 
Axis white, wood-like, soft, with fusiform warty spicules, which are generally 
slender and elongate, but some are thicker and more ventricose. Brit. Mus, 
Loc. unknown. 
Bhipidella verticillata, Solander. This, the Gorgonia verticillata, Esper, 
Rhipidogorgia verticillata, M.-Edw. & Haime, and Suberigorgia verticillata, 
Koll., should be restored as a distinct generic type (Gray, loc. cit. p. 407). 
Vioa asbestina, Nardo. In like manner, Dr. Gray (loc. cit. p. 408) re-esta­
blishes Nardo's generic term for this coral (=Lobularia asbestina, Ehr., Bri-
areum asbestinum, Verrill, and B. suberosum (pars), Koll). 
From conclusions arrived at after careful examination of the calcareous 
spicula in the sections Pvimnoacea, Gorgoniacea, and Gorgoniellacece of the 
subfamily Gorgoniinae and family Gorgoniidae, Mr. W . S. Kent (M. Micr. J. 
Feb. 1870, pp. 76-94), proposes the following alterations in the nomenclature 
of certain species:—To Muvicea should be referred Gorgoniaplantaginea, Lmk. 
(Eunicea plantaginea, M.-Edw.) ; to Echinogorgia, K8U., Rhipidogorgia co-
avctata, M.-Edw., Muriceafungifera, M.-Edw., and Gorgoniagranifera, Lmk.; 
to Eunicea, Plexaura pensilis, Val, and P. pendula, Val.; to Plexaurella, Gor­
gonia heteropora,hmk.; to Gorgonia, Muriceaplacomus,Val. & M.-Edw. (non 
Esp.), Plexaura racemosa, Yal., Verrueella fareata, M.-Edw.; to Leptogorgia, 
Gorgonia miniata, pnmicea, and ramulus, M.-Edw. Spicules of the Lepto-
gorgian type ocour in various modifications in each of the following genera 
of Milne-Edwards:—Lophogorgia, Pterogorgia, Xiphigorgia, Rhipidogorgia, 
Phyllogorgia, Hymenogorgia, Phycoyorgia, and Gorgonella. Verrucella violacea 
should probably be made the type of a new genus, having incorporated with 
it Gorgonia lilae-ina and sanguinolenta, Val. To Juncella should be referred 
Cteuocella pectinata, Primnoa myura, Leptogorgia boryana, Rhipidogorgia 
laeuens, plagalh, umbraculum, Pterogorgia betulina, Verrucellafiexuosa. 
The following new species are described by Verrill, Tr. Conn. Acad i. 
p. 551-558 :— 
Leptogorgia tenuis, La Paz ; L. lobata, sp. n.,=i. ramulus, variety, Aca-

The following are the additions and corrections given by Verrill (P. Ess. 
Inst. vol. vi. pt. 1, p. 75 et seq.) to the Gorgoniidae described in the previous 
part of his synopsis of the polypes and corals of the North-Pacific Exploring 
Expedition:— 
Litigorgia cuspidata, Verrill (loc. cit. p. 7'5)= Leptogorgia cuspidala, Verrill. 
Euplexaura, gen. nov., Verrill (I. c. p. 75), Resembling Plexaurella, with 
rather large open cells. Spicules mostly short, blunt, warty spindles, of 
rather small size, with a few small, simple, double spindles, and, rarely, small 
irregular crosses. E. capensis, sp. n., Verrill (p. 76),=Plexaura friabilis, 
Verrill. 
Murieea fiexuosa, Verrill (I. c. p. 77),=Lissogorgiaflexuosa, Verrill. The 
genus Lissogorgia is no longer necessary, because the typical species prove to 
belong to Paramuricea, Koll. ViUogorgia and Blepharogorgia, Duch. & Mich., 
are probably also synonyms.

Results of 'Porcupine' Expedition.—Dr. P. M. Duncan having examined the 
Stony Corals dredged up in the ' Porcupine ' Expedition, has determined 12 
species, the majority of which came from midway between Cape Wrath and 
the Faeroes; others were also found off the west coast of Ireland. The species 
may be enumerated thus :— 
Five species which have lasted since the early Cfflnozoic period, being 
found on the area dredged and as Miocene and Pliocene fossils elsewhere, 
viz.:— Caryophyllia borealis, Flem. : Ceratoeyathus ornatus, Seguenza; Fla-
bellum laciniatum, M.-Edw. & Haime; Lophohelia prolifera (Pallas); 
Amphiheha miocanica, Seguenza. T w o of these, Caryophyllia borealis and 
Lophohelia prolifera, occur likewise in the recent fauna of the Mediter­
ranean. 
ACTINOZOA. 497 
One Mediterranean species not known in Cainozoic deposits, viz. Amphi-
helia oeulata, Linn., sp. 
Three species belonging to the deep-sea fauna of Florida and Havana, 
viz.:—Balanophyllia socialis (Pom-tales), Amphihelia profunda (Pourtales), 
and Pliobothrus symmetricus (Pourtales). 
Lastly, three species known only on the area dredged or in the neighbour­
ing seas, viz. :—Amphihelia atlantica, Duncan; A. ornata, sp. n., Duncan 
Allopora oeulina, Ehr. 
' Noma' Expedition.—Mr. W . S. Kent enumerates Caryophyllia smithi, 
Stokes, Desmophyllum crista-galli, M.-Edw., Lophohelia prolifera, M.-Edw., 
Amphihelia oeulata, M.-Edw., and Dendrophyllia ramea, Blainv., as taken off 
the coasts of Portugal, Ann. N. H. (4) vi. p. 459. 
Classification.—Verrill proposes to unite the following families into a sub­
order, Oculinacea, intermediate in many respects between Madreporacea and 
Astraacea, having, as in the former, the polyps exsert, and with their 
tentacles swollen at the tips,—as in the latter, the corals imperforate and 
compact:— 
Suborder Oculinacea. Families: 1. Stylasterida, 2. Oculinida, 3. Pocillo-
porida, 4. Stylophorida, 5. (?) Stylinida, 6. Astrangida, 7. Caryophyllida. 
The Poeilloporida are here included, though they have transversely septate 
or tabulate corals. Observations on the polyps show that the family has 
the structure of Madreporaria, and no affinity with Millepora or other Hy­
droid Corals. (See also Proc. Ess. Inst. vi. pt. 1, p. 90.) As to Caryophyl­
lida, the typical genera Caryophyllia, Paracyathus, &c. seem to belong here, 
as they have soft parts with the same general structure as in Oeulina, As-
trangia, &c.; but Flabellum, like Euphyllia, seems better to agree with 
Astraacea. 
Mr. W . S. K E N T likewise disputes the theory that all the "tabulate " 
Corals are to be regarded as the skeletal productions of Hydrozoa (Ann, 
N. H. (4) Nov. 1870, p. 386). 
MADREPORARIA APOROSA. 
Turbinolidce. 
D U N C A N (I. c. p. 292) includes as varieties of Caryophyllia borealis, Flem., 
the old species C. claims, C. smithii, and C. cyathus. 
Mr. W . S. K E N T , while agreeing with Dr. Duncan that Caryophyllia 
smithi, borealis, and clams are merely varieties of the same species, does not 
think that there are sufficient grounds for uniting with these, as Dr. Duncan 
proposes, the Mediterranean C. cyathus (Ann. N. H. (4) vi. p. 459). 
Caryophyllia sinuosa, corona, and protei, spp. nn., from the Antilles: 
Duchassaing (I. c. p. 24). 
Paracyathus humilis, sp. n., Verrill (Tr. Conn. Ac. i. p. 538), Pearl Island. 
Desmophyllum crista-galli, M.-Edw. With this should be united D. riisii, 
Michelotti (Kent, Ann. H. (4) vi. p. 459). 
Desmophyllum simplex, sp. n.,VerriU (Am. J. Sc. xlix. p. 371), St. Thomas, 
West Indies. 
Flabellum laciniatum, M.-Ed. & Haime, = Uloeyathus arcticus, Sars (Duncan, 
I.
 c. p. 293). 
498 CCELENTERATA. 
Oculinidee. 
Lophohelia prolifera. As varieties of and synonymic with this well-
known coral, Dr. Duncan (I. c. pp. 293, 294) proposes to unite the following, 
hitherto recognized as distinct species, viz.:—Lophohelia anthophyllites, Edw. 
& Haime ; L. subcostata, Edw. & H. ; L. affinis, Pourtales; L. defrancei, De-
france ; L. gracilis, Seguenza.

fornica, Pourtales (non Verrill), Neah Bay, Washington Territory. 
Stenohelia, g. n., Kent (Ann. N. H. (4) Feb. 1870, p. 120). Coralluin

extensions of the base, which have the same porous texture as the wall. 
Polype-cells subcircular or elliptical, Septa thin, crowded, a little projecting, 
arranged in four or five cycles, those of the last cycle well developed, uniting 
to those of the preceding cycle, which rise up in the form of prominent pali-

supplying a link between the long-extinct genus Favorites (through the cre­
taceous koninckia) and the Madreporaria perforata. Its structure and its 
close relations with Alveopora help to demonstrate the untenableness of the 
doctrine that " tabulate " Corals are necessarily the productions of Hydroid 
polypes. E. deshayesii, sp. n., Kent (U>. p. 385), Paris Museum, locality un­

This important work, extensive as it is, does not profess to be an ex­
haustive monograph of the subject. It deals almost exclusively with the 
siliceous sponges, Hackel being, as is well known, at present occupied with 
a special monograph of the calcareous forms. It comprises:—I. Considera­
tions relative to classification, viz.:—a, typical forms and variability of the 
spicules ; b, the fibrous networks and arrangement of the hard parts; c, ana­
logical and homological structures. II Special description of the sponges 
occurring in the region of observation, many of which are only noticed 
generically. To this part is appended a table of comparison between Bower-
bank's British species (siliceous and horny) and those of the author. III. 
Results relative to geographical distribution and to classification. A table 
of geographical distribution is given, as likewise an embodiment of the 
author's ideas as to the natural classification of sponges, in the form of a 
genealogical tree of the various families.

Geographical Distribution. 
The following species are given by O. Schmidt (op. cit.) as occurring on 
both sides of the Atlantic :— 
Aphrocallistes bocagei, Corallistes polydiscus, ChondrUla nucula, Aplysina 
avophoba, Siphonochalina densa, Papillina suberia, Desmacella johnsoni, Des-
502 PROTOZOA. 
macidon infestum, Esperia massa, Dictyonella cactus (?), AxineUa polytroides, 
Phakellia ventilabrum, Hymeraphia verticillata, Craniella tethyoides, Stelletta 
discophora, Tisiphonia agariciformis. Also undetermined varieties of Spon-
gelia, Euspongia, Filifeva, Pachychalina, and Tedania. 
The following genera are common to the two shores:— 
Holtenia (Pheronema), Aphrocallistes, Leiodermatium, Corallistes, Cellulo-
phana, ChondriUa, Sponyelia, Euspongia, Cacospongia, Aplysina, Filifera, 
Chalina, Siphonochalina, Sclerochalina, Pachychalina, Chalinula, Reniera, Amor-
phina, Pellina, Tedania, Schmidtia, Plicatella, Suberites, PapilMna, Badiella, 
Tethya, Desmacella, Desmacidon, Cribrella, Esperia, Dictyonella, Clathria, 
Axinella, Phakellia, Raspaila, Hymeraphia, Tetella, Craniella, Ancorina, Stel­
letta, Geodia, Caminus. 
M I K L U C H O - M A C L A Y , in noticing some siliceous sponges of undetermined 
species, save Veluspa polymorpha, M.-Maclay, varieties digitata and arctica, 
along with one calcareous form, a Sycum of considerable size, all from the 
White Sea and Arctic Ocean, states that his results are at variance with the 
conclusion of O. Schmidt, viz. that in the colder regions the siliceous sponges 
are feebly developed in comparison with the calcareous. These views may 
prove correct for the sponges of the Greenland coast, on which Schmidt's 
conclusions were based, but they do not appear conclusive for the sponge-
fauna of the Eastern Polar seas, where the siliceous sponges seem to pre­
dominate. (Bull. Petersb. June 1870, t. xv. pp. 203-205.) 
The following are the "Vitreous " or Hexactinellate sponges enumerated 
by Mr. W . S. Kent as taken in the ' N o m a ' dredging-expedition off the 
coasts of Spain and Portugal (M, Micr. J. 1870, pp. 241-252) :— 
Pheronema grayi, Kent; Askonema setubalense, Kent; Hyalonema lusi-
tanica, Gray; Lanuginella pupa, O. Schmidt; Aphrocallistes bocagii, E. P. 
Wright; Farrea occa, Bbk.; Aulodietyon woodwardi, Kent; Dactylocalyx, 
sp.; Fieldingia lagettoides, Kent. 
B O C A G E (/. c.) records the taking, in depths of 450-500 fathoms, of five speci­
mens of Holtenia (Pheronema) cavpenteri in the same localities off the Portu­
guese coast in which Hyalonema lusitanicum occurs. W h e n fresh, the sarcode 
was of an orange-colour. 
Various sponges, the most interesting being Hexactinellida, are recorded 
by Carpenter, Jeffreys, and W . Thomson as taken in the 'Porcupine ' expe­
ditions of 1869 and 1870 (P. R. Soc. xviii. pp. 397-492, and xix. pp. 146-
221). In the Report of the former are mentioned Adrasta infundibulum, 
Tisiphonia, sp., Phakellia ventilabrum, and a new and unnamed genus allied 
to Esperia. In that of the latter to the coasts of France, Spain, Portugal, 
and the Mediterranean, mention is made of Pheronema (?) velatum (sp. n., 
W . Thomson), Askonema setubalense. Pheronema carpenteri and Aphrocal­
listes bocagii occurred in both. 
Structure, Morphology, and Classification. 
H A C K E L ' S paper " On the organization of Sponges and their relationship to 
the Corals " (Jen. Z. Nat. Bd. v. 1809) is translated by Mr. W . S. Dallas in 
Ann. N. H. (4) v. pp. 1-13 and 107-120. His view that the sponges belong 
to the Coelenterata is disputed by Mr. W . S. Kent (torn. cit. pp. 204-218, and 
op. cit. vi. pp. 250-255), but defended by Mr. E. R. Lankester (torn. cit. 
pp. 86-93). Oscar Schmidt (/. c. p. 84) declares himself averse to the views 
of Hackel on this point. 
SPONGIIDA. 503 
M I K L U C H O - M A C L A Y (Mem. P^tersb. 1870) considers the pores and 
oscula of sponges homotypic structures, and that the osculum may originate 
by the union of pores or by the development of a pore. If this be the case, 
then, as Oscar Schmidt remarks (op. cit. p. 84), the whole ccelenterate theory 
falls to the ground, as the mouths and cutaneous pores of ccelenterate polypes, 
with which the oscula and pores of sponges have been compared, are cer­
tainly not homotypic or homologous structures. But Schmidt does no.t think 
that Maclay's theory is borne out by the simplest sponges, though in Geodinae 
in some cases pores may enlarge to pseudoscula. 
C A R T E R (Ann. N. H. (4) vi. pp. 329-341) notices in marine sponges 
(Haliehondria simulans, Johnston, and Grantia nivea) the tessellated aggre­
gations of sponge-cells which he previously described in SpongUla as 
" ampullaceous sac," and which he considers to be the special digestive 
organs of the sponge. Carter thinks that the sponges, as possessing distinct 
channels for excretory purposes, are more akin to the Polyzoa and Tunicata 
than to the Corals, and compares also the canaliferous structure of the 
ccenosarc of compound Tunicata to the canal-system of sponges (ib. p. 336). 
Regarding the question of sexual generation in the sponges, Carter likewise 
mentions certain uniciliated bodies in Microeiona atrosanguinea, which he 
considers may possibly be spermatozoa, and certain minute spherical cells or 
capsules in Haliehondria panicea, possibly true sexual ova (ib. pp. 339-341). 
L I E B E R K U H N (Ann. N. II. (4) vi. p. 497) maintains that the contrac­
tile substance of SpongUla consists of independent nucleated cells, separable 
by heating the sponge to a temperature of about 140° F., and that in certain 
cases, as in the formation of the siliceous parts of the gemmules, the sponge-
cells may reproduce the plan of the vegetable cell. [The Recorder has not 
had an opportunity of seeing the original paper on the " Motory Phenomena 
of Animal Cells," in Schriften Ges. Marburg, ix. J 
V A I L L A N T (I. c.) describes two sorts of papillae in Cliona celata ; the first 
with large openings, the second more numerous, with small openings, mis­
understood by Grant, who supposed they were a transitory state of the large 
ones. According to Vaillant the large ones are oscula, the small are pores or 
inhalant openings. 
C A R T E R (Ann. N. H. (4) v. pp. 73-83), after comparing Grayella cya-
thophora, Carter, and Osculina polystomella, 0. Sdt., with Cliona northum-
brica, Hancock, comes to the conclusion that the two former are free forms of 
the Clionidae. Raphyrus yriffithsi, Bbk. (given by Schmidt as a synonym of 
his Papillina suberea), he considers to be but a free form of Cliona celata, 
Lbk. H e considers (ib. p. 82) the question decided that certain sponges may 
feed on the organic matter of shell-substance, just as certain fungi feed on 
woody tissue. 
O S C A R S C H M I D T (Spong. Atlant. p. 13) proposes the term Hexactinellida for 
the siliceous sponges with sexradiate spicules ( Vitrea, Wyville Thomson). In 
a second new family, Lithistida, the same author includes his new genera 
Leiodermatium and Corallistes. They have a continuous siliceous skeleton ; 
but its fibres or spicules do not belong to the sexradiate type, but form an 
apparently quite irregular confused network. 
The same author (op. cit.) divides the sponges into four great divisions or 
orders, to which, however, he does not as yet give definite names:— 
I. Spicules of sexradiate type:—Hexactinellida and (extinct) Ventriculitida. 
504 PROTOZOA. 
II Spicules anchor-shaped or of pyramidal type :—Lithistida, Ancorinida, 
Geodinida, and (extinct) Vermiculata. 
H I Spicules monaxial, polyaxial, or wanting :—Halisarcina—Gumminece, 
Ceraosponyia, Chalinea, Chalinopsida, Renierina, Suberitida, Desma-
cidina. 
IV. Spicules calcareous :—Calcispongia. 
The Hexactinellida are thus defined and subdivided by Kent (Month. Micr.

Order Hexactinellida, 0. Sdt. Sponges with a sihceo-fibrous or siliceo-

cules (instead of being in tufts at the hinder end of the body) arising sepa­
rately from all parts of the surface, except a small broad nude band round 
the oscule. Dr. Gray proposes for it the new generic name Callisphara ; but 
Professor Wyville Thomson (P. R. Soc. xix. p. 153) considers it only a 
variety of his Holtenia carpenter!.

This is certainly the same as that described, by Perceval Wright as Wyville-
thomsonia, and is also very probably the species referred to by Bowerbank, 
'Brit. Sponges,' vol. i. p. 22, as Tethea mitricata, Bbk. M S . Bowerbank does 
not describe the species which Gray made into a genus, Thenea (P. Z. S.

Gregarina gigantea, sp. n., E. van Beneden (I. c. p. 52). This species, inha­
biting the intestines of the lobster, is remarkable for its large size, sometimes

the remarkable observation of the successive appearance and disappearance 
of the nucleoli in the nucleus; and, as regards reproduction, he rejects the 
doctrine of the conjugation of two Gregarina in one cyst, but believes that 
the cysts themselves can multiply by division before giving rise to psoro-
sperms. Mr. E. R. Lankester, in a note appended to the above paper (p. 58), 
though admitting that single Gregarina do become encysted, is still inclined 
to hold to the view that two are usually thus encased.

Researches commenced in the summer of 1865, and published in the Polish 
language in 'Jahrbiicher der wissenschaftlichen Gesellschaft zu Krakau,' 
35ter Bd. 1867. 
GREEPF (I. c.) has made some most interesting observations 
on the integumentary, digestive, and reproductive systems of 
Epistylis flavicans, Ehr. He finds below the outer skin of most 
of these creatures certain pear-shaped or oval bodies, which he 
considers to be true trichocysts, and thinks that the staff-shaped 
bodies described as such in other Infusoria are neither tricho­
cysts nor touch-corpuscles, but skeletal organs. Greeff has also 
observed in the same species an apparent distinction of sex, 
hair-shaped bodies like spermatozoa becoming developed in the 
510 PROTOZOA. 
nucleus of some individuals, while in the nucleus of others 
rounded bodies were observed always increasing in number and 
finally in size. The nucleolus and nucleus therefore do not here 
stand to each other in the relation of male and female repro­
ductive organs united in the same individual, as in other Infu­
soria. In those creatures (Epistylis) a triple, perhaps alternating 
mode of generation takes place, viz. : — 1 , longitudinal division; 
2, bud conjugation and embryo-formation; 3, sexual generation 
by separate sexes. 
Stentor barretti, sp. nov., Barrett [!] (M. Micr. J. April 1870). 
Mr. J. G. T A T E M describes (foe. cit. p. 194) monstrosities of Trachelias anas 
and Chilodon cucullulus, in which the " lip " or " brow" is inordinately 
prolonged. Also a variety of Voriicella eonvallaria, which he terms var. 
monilata, the body of the animal being ornamented by large transparent 
refractive beads arranged in equidistant rows. In the opinion that the 
transverse striations on the body of V. eonvallaria are, like the markings of 
a Pleurosigma, composed of closely dotted minute bead-like elevations of the 
surface, he supposes that these are here diminished in number but exaggerated 
in size. Mr. Tatem also describes, in the same journal for December 1870, a 
peculiar form of Stylonychia pustulata, in which the normally rounded pos­
terior end of the body is prolonged into an extensile process or tail, termi­
nating in a palmate expansion fringed with spines. 
Q U E N N E R S T E D T (Act. Lund. 1867-68) describes the following marine In­
fusoria as new, from the neighbourhood of Warberg, Sweden :— 
Opahna mytili (p. 4), Loxophyllum setigerum (p. 6), Lacrymaria versatilis 
(p. 10), Lagynus, g.n. (type Lacrymaria elegans, Engelmann), L. lavis 
(p. 12), Trachelocerca tenuicollis (p. 14), Chanea (g. n.) vorax (p. 15), Para­
mecium cucullio (p. 18), Metopides contorta (p. 23), Aspidisca sedigitata 
(p. 30), Stylonychia similis (p. 38), Mitra radiosa (p. 41). 
The same author describes (Act. Lund. 1869-70) the following new species 
from Wisby, Isle of Gothland :— 
Holophrya tarda (p. 8), Panophrys fusca (p. 9), Lembus pusillus (p. 16), 
Aspidisca hexeris (p. 19), Oxytricha velox (p. 20), Trichodina baltica (p. 24). 
Of his list of 30 species of Infusoria from the sea at Gothland, Quenner­
stedt remarks that only about a third were hitherto known as exclusively 
belonging to salt water. Whether the 6 described as new are to be consi­
dered peculiarly marine cannot be settled as long as they are only known 
from that one spot amid such a preponderance of fresh- and brackish-water 
forms. 
The following are the new species of Infusoria described by Wrzesniowski 
(/. c.) from the neighbourhood of Warsaw :— 
Opevculavia cylinelrata (I. „'. p. 468), Cothurnia pusilla (p. 471), Oxytricha 
aruginosa (p. 471), O. macrostyla (p. 474), Stichotricha aculeata (p'. 477), 
Urostyla fiaricans (p. 480), if not identical with Oxytricha urostyla, Clap. 
and Laehm., Euphtes patella, var. eurystomus (p. 483), Trochilia polonica 
(p. 486;. e h 1

tiated, only the ventral set with short thin cilia. Body surrounded by a 
hyaline margin without granules, with a neck-like elongation, hyaline, flexible,

and retractile; mouth at base of neck on left margin; staff-shaped bodies 
present on left margin of neck. L. folium, Wrzes., = DUeptus folium, Duj., 
and Loxophyllum fasciola, Clap. & Lachm. pi.; L. fasciola, Wrzes., = Am-
phUeptus fasciola, Ehr., and Loxophyllum fasciola, Clap. & Lachm. pt.; L. 
varsaviensis, sp. nov., Wrzes. (I. c. p. 502). Subgenus Hemiophrys, Wrzes. 
(I. e.). The granules and particles of nutriment extend themselves into the 
margins of the body; and the staff-shaped bodies are irregularly distributed 
on the dorsal and ventral surfaces. Litonotus (Hemiophrys) diaphanus, sp. 
nov. (?), Wrzes. (I. c. p. 503). 
Microthorax pusillus, Engelmann. Wrzesniowski's examples from the 
neighbourhood of Warsaw differ from Engelmann's in two insignificant pecu­
liarities only. In Engelmann's the body is more pointed in front, and on the 
ventral surface are three longitudinal grooves reaching only to the middle of 
the body. 
Condylostoma (stagnate, sp. nov., Wrzes., if really different from C. patens, 
Duj.). This is a freshwater Condylostoma, the genus having hitherto been 
found only in salt water. It differs from C. patens in some points; but the 
author does not venture to set up a new species on the strength of a single 
example. 
Dileptus gigas, Carus. Wrzesniowski (I. c.) describes two local varieties 
from the neighbourhood of W a r s a w — D . gigas grojecensis and D. gigas var­
saviensis. 
Opalina. Mr. E. Ray Lankester (loc. cit.) describes the general structure 
and especially the contractile vesicles of Opalina naidos, Duj. According to 
the structure of their integument, nucleus, and contractile vesicles the Opa-
linee are to be considered true Infusoria, and not stages in the development 
of worms; but Mr. Lankester considers the organisms called by M. Clapa­
rede Pachydermon to be annelidan spermatophores. 
G I G L I O L I ( I. c. p. 491) describes two new species of Noctiluca: the first, 
JV! omoyenea, Gigl, from the Malay archipelago and Chinese seas, sheds a 
greenish light, wants the internal protoplasmic ramifications, and has its 
filament proportionally much shorter; the second, N. pacifica, Gigl, from 
the Pacific coasts of Australia and South America, shedding a whitish light, 
is larger than N miliaris, and has, like it, the protoplasmic ramifications, but 
the filament is proportionaUy much longer and larger. 
C I E N K O W S K Y ' S researches (I. c.) lead him to the conclusion that the fla­
gellate genera Chlamydomonas, Euglena, Cruptomonas, Vacuolavia, are natu­
rally associated with the Palmellacea. 
Vacuolaria virescens, gen. et sp. nov., Cienk. (I. c. p. 426), from the Saxon 
Switzerland, possesses an oval body of naked protoplasm, coloured greenish 
by chlorophyll-granules, at one end two long flagella, likewise a nucleus, 
and between it and the attachment of the flagella 1-3 pulsating spaces. 
Their "zoospores" encase themselves in a covering of jelly, within which 
they lose their flagella, become spheroidal and multiply by division; there is, 
lastly, a condition of rest or encystment, in which the nucleus is not visible. 
Colacium stentorinum, Ehr., usually also reckoned a flagellate infusorian, 
agrees also in its course of development mainly with Palmellacea. 
Mimas consociata, Fresenius, is referred by Cienkowsky to the genus Pha-
lansterium, along with P. intestinum, sp. nov., Cienk. (I. c. p. 429). Both are 
numerous in Germany and Northern Russia. The development of these 
512 PROTOZOA. 
organisms points to a close relationship with the Palmellacea; but the capa­
bility of the zoospores to take in solid nutriment leads us on the other hand 
towards the animal kingdom. 
C I E N K O W S K I describes, lastly, two other monad-like organisms whose de­
velopment no longer accords with that of Palmellacea, but is remarkable for 
a peculiar internal cyst-formation. 
SpumeUa vulgaris, gen. et sp. nov., Cienk. (/. c. p. 433). Zoospores colour­
less, globular or oval, attached by a stalk, and at the opposite pole provided 
with one long flagellum and two smaller ones on each side of the larger; a 
nucleus and one or two pulsating spaces. Solid nutriment taken in always 
at the base of the large cilium. Multiplies by division, also by budding. 
Encysting process peculiar, in that the cyst, globular with a little neck, arises 
inside the still moving zoospore. 
Chromulina nebulosa, gen. et sp. nov., Cienk. (I. c. p. 435). Zoospores living 
associated in cloudy masses surrounding submerged objects, each egg-shaped, 
with one flagellum at the smaller end; a yellowish plate passes through the 
protoplasm body, from the attachment of the flagellum, along the wall, to 
about the middle, and then passes right across to the opposite side, where 
it again directs itself downwards. Pulsating spaces one or two. Ingestion 
of solid matters not observed. Cyst-formation internal; cyst globular, with 
a small neck. From peat-moss pools in Northern Russia. 
C I E N K O W S K I (I. c. p. 436) thus analyses the so-called Flagellata:— 
1. Monads, including those forms without nucleus (Monera, Hackel). 
2. Palmellaceous Flagellata. Ex. Euglena, &c. 
3. Flagellata with internal cyst-formation (Entocysta, Cienk.). Ex. Chro­
mulina, SpumeUa.

514 PROTOZOA. 
G E E E P F notices (I. c.) a probably sexual mode of generation in an Amoeba 
from Poppelsdorf. The germs of the brood appear in the cavity of the 
nucleus, close to which the author found, in the same individual, several 
oval capsules containing hair-like bodies corresponding to those which we 
find in the nucleoli of Infusoria. Greeff suggests that probably such a 
sexual differentiation exists also in the Polythalamia and Radiolaria, reesta­
blishing the claim of the Rhizopoda to be considered as true animals and not 
as "Protista."

sp. nov., Carter (Ann. N. H. M a y 1870, p. 323), Budleigh-Salterton. In 
both of these new species the body is fixed by three sarcodal filaments to 
the posterior part of the test. 
AmphizoneUa vestita, sp. nov., Archer (Proc. R. Irish Ac. Dec. 12th, 1870), 
counties Westmeath and Tipperary. A s Greeff, who established the genus, 
did not give any special diagnosis of it, the following is supplied by Mr. 
Archer:—Genus AmphizoneUa, Greeff. Rhizopod with a nucleated body-
mass, enclosed in a distinct (and separable), more or less pellucid, elastic, 
and yielding investment, through which it temporarily protrudes a greater 
or less number of digitate or tapering short hyaline pseudopodia, upon the 
retraction of which the extemporized openings in the investment become 
effaced by virtue of its inherent fusibility. 
A R C H E R describes (Proc. R. Irish Ac. Dec. 12th, 1870) a form, in two 
varieties, which he supposes m a y be identical with Playioph-ys sphcerica, 
Clap. & Lachm. H e points out, however, the presence of a distinct test, 
of tree-like instead of AcUnophryan pseudopodia, as figured by Claparede 
and Lachmann, and of a distinct internal " nucleus." 
G R E N A C H E R (I. c.) has observed in the centre of Actinophrys sol a little vesi­
cular body about one-fourth to one-fifth of the diameter of the entire orga­
nism, which he considers equivalent to the " central capsule'' of the marine 
Radiolaria ; indeed it would be quite the same structure were the microscope 
to demonstrate an unquestionable membrane for it. The central axes of the 
pseudopodia may be traced to the outer wall or surface of this vesicle. Re­
garding the question of placing the Actinophryans among the Radiolaria, the 
author refers to the similar relations of the pseudopodia to the extracapsular 
sarcode, and to the resemblance of the spicular skeleton of Acanthocystis to 
similar structures in Radiolaria. Even the want of a central capsule would 
not absolutely shut them out from Radiolaria, as Cocciuosphara, Stuart, has 
none; and the same is to be said as regards the absence of " yellow cells," as 
these are wanting in the Acanthometridse. The contractile vacuole is the 
only " veto " against the union of Actinophrys sol with the Radiolaria. Re­
garding this contractile vacuole, Grenacher is not inclined to accept it as an 
organ of special nature, but thinks rather that any vacuole at the surface 
may become contractile. The author likewise asks if the " cells " of Acti­
nophrys (Actinospharium) eichhovni may not possibly be the homologuea of the 
central capsule in A. sol. If so, then A. eichhorni is one of the Radiolaria 
Polyzoa. 
A n c H E K likewise notices in a large green Actinophryan (species unde­
termined) a clear spherical body occupying the centre of the body-mass, 
which seems to be a veritable central capsule. H e also witnessed the evolu­
tion of minute biciliated greenish zoospores from the body of the Actino-
RHIZOPODA. 515 
phryan without any previous encysted condition (Q. J. Micr. Sc. July 1870, 
pp. 306, 307). 
J. G. W A L L E R has some observations oh the conjugation of Actinophrys 
sol. J. Quek. Micr. Club, 1870, pp. 93-98. 
Acanthocystis spinifera, Greeff, recorded by A R C H E R from Tipperary (Proc. 
R. Irish Ac. Dec. 12, 1870). In the centre of the presumed central capsule 
Archer figures a minute round body, deeply taking on the carmine dye, 
and which he considers may be the " vesicula intima." The same struc­
tures were observed in A. peHyana, Archer, in which he had previously failed 
to make out a central capsule; but in this case the central capsule took on the 
dye as well as did the inner vesicle. A. spinifera was observed in conjuga­
tion ; the yellow globules seen in this species are regarded by Mr. Archer as 
oil-globules. 
After examination of several Radiolaria, collected partly in Messina and 
partly in the Canary Islands (Thalassicollapelagica, Collozoum inerme, 4 spe­
cies of Spharozoum, Baphidozoum acuferum, and Collosphara huxleyi), Hackel 
finds that certain granules in their yellow cells are coloured blue by iodine, 
and are therefore starch. According to Muller, the yellow cells only became 
dark brown when treated with iodine. Hackel explains this by supposing 
that the magnifying-power used was not strong enough (it must be at least 
700 diam.), so that the intense yellow of the remaining protoplasm dis­
guised the blue of the starch-granules. (Jen. Z. Nat. v. 1870, pp. 492-550.) 
Myxobrachia, g. n., Hackel (Jen. Z. Nat, v. 1870, pp. 492-550). Central 
capsule globular, with vesicula intima. Extracapsular sarcode prolonged 
into 1 or more depending arm-like processes, whose button-shaped ends 
enclose collections of calcareous spicules or concretions. Central capsule 
excentric, in the pear-shaped mass of alveoles, which is swollen towards the 
upperside of the sarcode body. Yellow cells numerous around the central 
capsule, and traversing the arms in a row. M. pluteus, sp. nov., Hackel 
(/. c.), arms as many as 16; M. rhopalum, sp. nov., Hackel (/. c.), with only 
one arm. Both from Lanzarote. This singular genus of Radiolaria owes its 
interest to the calcareous bodies contained in the terminations of its arms, 
and which greatly resemble the well-known coccoliths and coccospheres of 
the Atlantic sea-bottom; but unfortunately Hackel neglected to determine 
the question of their identity beyond doubt. If they are identical, Hackel 
asks, H o w do they get to the surface of the water, seeing that the Myxobrachia 
floats P for it is very improbable that the great masses of coccoliths and 
coccospheres at the bottom of the Atlantic should be only the spicules of 
pelagic Radiolaria sunk to the bottom after the death of the creatures which 
formed them. 
Thalassicolla sanyuinolenta, sp. nov., Hackel (ib. p. 526), Lanzarote. Very 
like Myxobrachia, but has no arms. 
In C A R P E N T E R , J E F F R E Y S , and W . T H O M S O N ' S Report on the 'Porcupine ' 
Expedition of 1869 (Proc. R. Soc. xviii. pp. 397-492) frequent mention is 
made of Foraminifera and also of Polycystina. In the warmer parts of the 
areas dredged in the three cruises Foraminifera were, as before, extremely 
numerous, a large proportion being arenaceous. 
Mention is made (p. 421) of a peculiarly interesting Orbitolites (O. tenuis-
simus, sp. nov., Carp. P. R. Soc. xix. p. 155) dredged from 1443 fathoms 
depth, off the N . W . coast of Ireland, a type not hitherto discovered north of 
516 PROTOZOA. 
the Mediterranean. A peculiar flexible Rhizopod, with a chitinous cortex, 
studded with Globigerina, and enclosing an olive-green sarcode, is recorded 
from off the S.W. coast of Ireland in 2435 fathoms water. In the " Cold 
Area'' between Scotland and the Fseroes the Globigerina-mud is entirely 
wanting; and, with the exception of certain arenaceous types, Foraminifera 
are not here conspicuous either for number or variety. One of these arena­
ceous types forms Dr. Carpenter's new genus Botellina (ib. p. 444). Tubes 
f to 1 inch long, like straight Lituola externally; but the cavity continuous 
throughout, though traversed in every part of its length by irregular processes, 
built up partly of sand-grains, partly of sponge-spicules. Sarcodic body 
filling the whole of the cavity, which communicates with the external me­
dium by irregular apertures at one end of the tube (free ?), the other extremity 
(attached ?) being uniformly open in the specimens obtained. Dredged in 
440 fathoms at a station intermediate between the warm and cold areas. 
The same authors (p. 478) support the view that the Protozoic portion of 
the Deep-sea Fauna is nourished by direct absorption of organic matter 
diffused through the whole mass of the oceanic water. 
Squamulina scapula, sp. nov., Carter (Ann. N. H. (4) v. p. 309), Budleigh-
Salterton, Devon; S. varians, sp. nov., Carter (ib. p. 321), same locality. 
Both these species are arenaceous, and have, besides siliceous grains, sponge-
spicules entering into the formation of their test. S. scopula, bearing on 
its discoidal base a column, brush-like with attached sponge-spicules, is 
the same as Haliphysema tumanowiczii of Bowerbank, described by that 
author as the smallest British sponge. H. ramulosa, Bbk., Carter regards as 
probably a branched variety of the same rhizopod (ib. June 1870, p. 390). 
The same author's subsequent observations (ib. Oct. 1870, pp. 346, 347) con­
firm his views both that Squamulina scopula is a foraminiferous animal, and 
that Haliphysema ramulosa, Bbk., is a variety of it. After cutting off the 
branched head of the latter variety he observed the protrusion and retraction 
of branching and anastomosing pseudopodia, with circulation of granules. 
C A R T E R describes the sponge-spicules found in connexion with the test of 
Polytrema (ib. pp. 391, 392). Allman states that, although he has seen 
siliceous spicules resembling those of sponges in the interior of the chambers 
of Polytrema miniacea, in many specimens he could find no trace of them 
(Ann. N. H. (4) v. p. 373). 
Messrs. B R A D Y , P A R K E R , and J O N E S , in their monograph of the genus 
Polymorphina, enumerate and describe forty-one recent and fossil species, 
including three belonging to the subgenus Dimorphina. Read in the light 
of the older definitions the whole of these must really be regarded as a single 
" species/' as from end to end of the series there is no single break. N o less 
than twenty-four generic synonyms are quoted (Trans. Linn. Soc. xxvii. 
pp. 197-253). 
Polymorphina hirsuta, sp. nov., Brady, Parker, and Jones (I. c. p. 243), 
fossil, from the Crag, Colchester. 
Brackish-water Foraminifera. In Mr. H. B. Brady's "Analysis" (Ann. 
N. H. (4) vi. pp. 273-309) a table is given showing the results of gatherings 
from thirty-two brackish localities, all British, save one from the Scheldt 
near Antwerp. A n additional column collates the results of Messrs. Parker 
and Jones's fen-clay investigations. Of forty-four reputed genera found 
in the British seas only twelve are entirely absent, viz. Hauerina, Sac-
RHIZOPODA. 517 
cammina, Vahulina, Lingulina, Spirillina, Bigenerina, Cassidulina, Anomalina, 
Tinoporus, Nubecularia, Operculina, and Nummulina. T w o new forms are 
very common, viz. Quinquiloculina fusea, sp. nov., H. B. Brady (ib. p. 286), 
= Q. agglutinans, H. B. Brady (1865), and Trochammina inflata, var. ma-
crescens, var. nov., H. B. Brady (ib. p. 290). Several species occur not 
previously recorded from British localities, viz. Quinquiloculina candeiana, 
D'Orb., Dentalina guttifera, D'Orb., Textularia globulosa, Ehr., Gaudvyina 
pupoides, D'Orb., Verneuilina spinulosa, Reuss, Bolivina plicata, D'Orb. One 
effect of brackish conditions seems to be a diminution of the calcareous matter 
in the tests; the brackish-water specimens are mostly smaller and thin-
shelled, Miliolida (e. g. Quinquiloculina fusea) and Lituolida (e. g. Trocham­
mina inflata) becoming sometimes keratose. Some show a green tint, as 
Polystomella striatipunctata and Nonionina depressulu. 
Mr. G. W . D A W S O N gives a short account of the distribution of Forami­
nifera in the Gulf and River St. Lawrence, with a table showing the results 
as to distribution, of twenty-three gatherings from those waters and neigh­
bouring parts of the Atlantic. (Canad. Nat. June 1870, pp. 172-180.) 
A R C H E R (Q. J. Micr. Sc. July 1870, p. 303) notices a freshwater or­
ganism from Ireland, closely resembling Cienkowski's genus Labyrinthula 
from which, however, it differs in several particulars. Mr. Archer does not 
as yet apply a name to this form, which if not a Labyrinthulean, is at all 
events a perfectly distinct and novel freshwater rhizopod. 
G R E E F F (I. c.) announces the discovery in fresh water near Poppelsdorf of a 
rhizopod analogous to the marine Bathybius. It consists of globules of sar­
code existing in immense quantity, and never disappearing at any season 
from the pond where it occurs. The sarcode, of irregularly vacuolate con­
sistency, contains numerous bodies derived from without, such as shells of 
Diffluyia, Arcella, and Diatomacea. It also contains peculiar round or oval 
nuclear bodies and fine staff-shaped structures; most of the former have no 
definite structure, and resist the action of acids and alkalies, and may, in the 
opinion of the author, be compared to coccoliths. There are also softer bodies 
comparable to cell-nuclei; therefore this rhizopod is not a Moneron like 
Bathybius, but a multicellular organism. To this organism Greeff applies the 
generic name Pelobius ", and promises a more minute account of it. 
A minute account of Bathybius, and of the associated cyatholiths, disco-
liths, and coccospheres, is given by Hackel (Jen. Z. Nat. v. 1870, pp. 492-
550). Bathybius, according to Hackel, is a Moneron. That the Coccoliths 
and coccospheres are produced by it, is, he thinks, probable, but not yet 
fully made out; and here he refers to the singular concretions found in the 
arms of the Radiolarian Myxobrachia (chronicled above). H e also enters into 
the difficult questions connected with the nourishment and reproduction of 
Bathybius and other elementary forms of life at great depths. 
Mayosphara planula is the name given by Hackel to a new microscopic 
organism which he found attached to marine conferva (Cladophora) on the 
Norwegian coast. The stages of its life-history, through which Hackel has 
traced it, are as follows:—1st. The encysted stage, in which the organism 
constitutes a globular cell with nucleus and nucleolus, and closely resem­
bles an ovum. 2nd. The stage of cleavage, in which the nucleus and cell-
contents multiply by division into as many as thirty-two daughter-cells. 
* [Preoccupied in Coleoptera.—ED.] 
518 PROTOZOA. 
3rd. The volvocine stage, in which the daughter-cells escape from the parent 
cyst, but still cohere together in a ciliated globe, the cilia being developed on 
the external surfaces of the component cells. 4th. The peritrichal stage, in 
which the ciliated globe breaks up into its constituent cells, which, swim­
ming away, closely resemble peritrichal infusoria in general appearance. 
5th. The Amoeba stage, in which the individual cells sink to the bottom, 
retract their cilia, and in their place protrude bundles of pointed pseudopodia. 
Development supposed to begin again by the encystment of the Amoebae; 
but this was not directly observed. In all stages, each cell-element of the 
Magosphara possesses a nucleus; and in the volvocine, peritrichal and 
amoeboid stages, likewise a contractile vacuole. For this organism Hackel 
provisionally frames a new division, Catallacta, of his kingdom of Protista 
(Jen. Z. Nat. vi. 1870, pp. 1-22).

podia, Schulze (?). 
H A C K E L writes likewise on the identity of ciliary and amoeboid proto­
plasmic movement, considering the former to be only a definite modification 
of the latter. W h e n the swarm-spores of Protomyxa aurantiaca and Proto­
monas huxleyi settle down into amoeboid bodies their flagella become 
pseudopods; and Hackel observed the same process to take place in a fla­
gellate sponge-particle from Leucosolenia. The passage of amoeboid processes 
into cilia, on the other hand, was first observed by Hackel in the ova of 
Siphonophora, and again in the course of development of the singular organism 
Magosphara. (Jen. Z. Nat. 1870, v. pp. 492-550.)
