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 freshwater
mollusca are given by W. Binney and Th. Bland, Ann. Lye. N. York,
ix. 1870, pp. 284-294. Tryon objects that the photographs never give such
sharp lines as are requisite. Am. J. Conch, vi. pp. 169-171.
