ENGEL andFAVDEL in 'Feuille des jeunes Xaturalistes,' May-July.
Bavaria. Dr. WALSER 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

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'odolian
streams within the province, but only in a subfossil state.
Transylvania. E. A. BIELZ 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 Baleoclausilice.
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 inadvertence.
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 Melanopsis.

"Prodrome a l'liistoire malacologique de la France'," viz. J. MADILI.U the
Limacidee, MASSOT the genus TeslaceUa, PENCUINAT the genera Pavmuccllu
and Daialcbavdia, and PALADILIIE the 1'aludinidec. Ann. Mal. pp. 105-214.
The numbers of species in the individual genera will be mentioned in the
special part.
