188 191 IE Sepia Burnupi, Natal. 33 THE JOURNAL OF CONCHOLOGY. Vol. II. APRIL, 1904. No. 2. THE FRESHWATER SHELLS OF NAPLES AND THENEIGHBOURHOOD. By Dr. RAFFAELLO BELLINI. (Read before the Society, December gth, 1903). Information regarding this important and rich section of the localfauna has hitherto been grouped with that concerning the land shells;therefore, so far as we know, there exists no monograph on the sub-ject, and the works in which the freshwater shells of Campania aredescribed have hardly a historical value. Except for the informationderived from the work of Philippi^ and Costa^ in the first half of thelast century, we have no particulars respecting the shells which aboundin the springs and stagnant waters near Naples. This information,moreover, incomplete when published, has now but slight value, assome species have since been excluded and others added ; further,habitats have been changed and nomenclature modified.
