MR. JAS. H. FERRISS is collecting shells and ferns in Arizona. 

 He reports great success, and the specimens sent in give evidence 

 that he has not lost the knack of finding the finest kinds of snails. 

 There are several forms of Sonorella, Ashmunella chiricahaana and 

 some new forms of the levettei type, two new species of Oreohelix, 1 

 one of them ornamented with whorls of hairs, besides the " small 

 stuflf."_H. A. PILSBRT. 



VERTIGO ANDRUSIANA Pils. when fully adult has two teeth on the 

 parietal margin, at least in some specimens, and a very minute tooth 

 above the upper palatal plica. Until nearly adult, the basal fold is 

 not developed. H. A. P. 



HELICOGONA ARBUSTORUM IN NEWFOUNDLAND Adult living 



specimens of this common British and European land snail were col- 

 lected by Dr. Robert Bell in the middle of July, 1885, on grassy 

 slopes facing the sea, near the narrows of St. John's Harbor, New- 

 foundland. So far as the writer is aware, this is the first time that 

 this species has been found, in a living state, on the American side 

 of the Atlantic. Dr. Bell says that many wrecks of vessels take 

 place on this part of the coast, and that a little farther to the south 

 of the locality where these snails were found, there is a small patch 

 where the common heather (Calluna vulgaris] grows. This marks 

 the spot, he adds, where an emigrant ship was stranded, and the 

 beds of the emigrants, which were stuffed with heather, were taken 

 ashore and emptied out J. F. WHITEAVES, in The Ottawa Natural-

1 Oreohelix is a new genus for the Rocky Mountain Helices of the //. strigosa 

 group, hitherto wrongly placed in " Patula '' or Pyramidula, from which they 

 differ by the lack of pedal farrows. II. A. P.
