 seven, posterior with eight notches, the teeth radially striate ; inter- 

 mediate valves with one lateral notch on each side ; interior colora-

 that of T. crenulata Sowerby, but central areas with much sparser 

 riblcts and no defined central smooth area, the sutural crenulations 

 stronger and forming a wider band, the pleural ruga? mostly fore and 

 aft in direction, the second valve larger than the rest and with a 

 more conspicuous mesial smooth area. Interior with sinus square

This species is clearly of the group of T. crenulatus but is sepa- 

 rated by sufficiently distinct characters. The brilliancy of the eye 

 spots, each situated in a deep, minute pit, is very remarkable. There 

 are on this small creature nearly 1000 of them. 



PLEISTOCENE MOLLUSKS OF WHITE POND, NEW JERSEY. 



BY FKANK C. BAKER. 



The Chicago Academy has recently received from Dr. Stuart 

 Weller, Paleontologist of the University of Chicago, a collection of 

 Pleistocene mollusks from the marl beds of White Pond, near Marks- 

 boro, New Jersey. The material consists of about a quart of mixed 

 shells, which, when studied quantitatively, gave some interesting re- 

 sults. Valvata and Amnicola made up ninety-five per cent, of the 

 entire lot, the former being forty-five and the latter fifty per cent. 

 Of the remainder, Planorbis bicarinatus made up two per cent., 

 Planorbis cumpanulatus one per cent., and the rest of the species the 

 other two per cent. Aplexa was the rarest, there being but two 

 specimens in the entire lot. 



I am indebted to Mr. Bryant Walker for assistance in determin- 

 ing some of the material. The list of species is as follows : 



Pisidium compressum Prime. Normal.
