As it is not proposed to include the nudibranchiata' in the manual, the present volume will complete the First Series, as orgin ally projected by its illustrious founder. The Conchological Section of the Academy of Natural Sciences contemplates the commencement of a Third Series of the Manual of Conchology, to include the Marine bivalve Mollusks. The continued support of the subscribers to the First Series is earnestly desired, for Without their liberal aid this great enterprise cannot be undertaken.
