NOTES AND NEWS. 



TROCHOMORPHA FUSCATA Pease. This species was listed in 

 Man. Conch. (2), IX, but, so far as I know, no description has ap- 

 peared. It is allied to nigritella and contigua, but the umbilicus is 

 smaller than either (one-eleventh to one-twelfth diam. of base) ; 

 spire slightly-convex conic, the apex much more pointed than in 

 contiyiiu; base flattened ns in contigua. Alt. 8-1, diam. 11] mm. 

 Color uniform blackish-brown, or clear honey-yellow. It is from 

 Pomipe, or Ascension Island, near the Caroline group. 



CALIFORNIA SLUGS. Mr. Edw. M. Ehrhorn has lately sent me 

 sonir slugs from California, which may as well be put on record. A 

 box from Mountain View contained a number of Amalia gdi/utes 

 (syn. hewstoni) and one Agriolimax eampestris, both, in my opinion, 

 native species. A lot from San Jose, Sia. Clara Co., consisted 

 wholly of introduced species, namely, Agriolimax ay rest is, heavily 

 motiled forms, and Li max imurimus, young and old. The three 

 adult L. maxima* in the box were all different, one being of the 

 form iiiii,-mnr<itii.<< C'kll., one mm/Hiiii Ckll., and the other an ill- 

 defined form nearest to czernaevii Kal. These forms are like those 

 which occur commonly in the southeast of England.

SHELLS OF THUNDERHEAD Mr., N. C. I went to Thunderhead 

 again last June, and I found two more specimens of Gaxtmlaiitu 

 /nitiiliiides Pils., and more of the other new furins I had taken the 

 year before [see NAUTILUS, p. 14]. I found, this time, what I think 

 is a banded form o{ Mesodon andrewsi W. (. B. I have never seen 

 this variety before. A few of the long-looked for Me*, rhristiji were 

 found also, but they are very rare.
