Abstract
VOLUME XV. contains three Reports on the univalve Mollusca collected. The first is a short Report, by Dr. Rudolph Berg, on the Marseniadae. This family has slowly gathered round the Helix perspicua of Linnæus and the Bulla latens of O. F. Müller. These species are found in all seas. The shell is either altogether enveloped in the mantle or is very partially exposed, always either calcareous or horny. Six genera are recognised, with 33 species, 11 of which are described and figured as new.
Report on the Scientific Results of the Voyage of H.M.S. “Challenger” during the Years 1873-76 under the Command of Capt. G. S. Nares, R.N, F.R.S., and Capt. F. T. Thomson, R.N.
Prepared under the Superintendence of the late Sir C. Wyville Thomson.,&c., and now of John Murray, one of the Naturalists of the Expedition. Zoology—Vols. XV. and XVI. (Published by Order of Her Majesty's Government, 1886.)
