Note. The preceding list is a copy of that which appeared in the " Bibliographia Zoologiæ et Geologiæ." Ray Society, London, 1854. In it the several papers which were in continuation of the same subject have very judiciously been placed together. In Mr. Thompson's original list—a copy of which was sent to the Editors of the "Bibliographia "-each paper was recorded according to the date of publication.-ED.
