THE NAUTILUS. 123 



A. smirna (Dall). With the last, San Diego to San Sal- 

 vador. 



A. infrequens (C. B. Ads.). A Panama species extending 

 as far north as Cape San Lucas. Also found as fossil in 

 Southern California. 



A. planata (Cpr.). Described by Carpenter from speci- 

 mens labeled from San Diego, but seemingly not known from 

 there by present-day collectors. 



There would seem to be a probability that further collect- 

 ing and a careful examination, both as to identification and 

 locality, of the material in other collections, would extend 

 these known ranges. 



SONORELLAS AND SCENERY 



BY EDWIN E. HAND 



' ' Master of human destinies am I. 



I knock unbidden once at every gate. ' ' 



As Senator Ingalls said, it w r as my "hour of fate". For 

 years I have had a great desire and a standing invitation to 

 go snailing in Arizona with the veteran collector, James H. 

 Ferriss. Last summer, opportunity knocked, the gate opened, 

 and my dream came true. 



With Dr. W. T. Miller of Los Angeles to initiate us into 

 the mysteries of Dame Nature's landscape and all their beau- 

 ties, botanical, geological and the rest, we three left Tucson 

 on the afternoon of June 27th, headed toward the Grand 

 Canyon. We made no schedule. We were to stop whenever 

 and wherever any of us washed and stay as long as we could 

 find entertainment. A joyful trio were we. Everything was 

 new, strange, pleasing. We shall never forget the sights, 

 sounds, thrills of this Arizona trip. We not only found 

 ''landscapes", under his magic spell, but we found snails. 

 And if the learned artist becomes not too deeply engrossed 

 in his chosen work, be not surprised to meet a "milleri" from 

 California in the near future.
