There is much land for the snail hunter here. From the highest 

 peaks we could see mountains 125 miles distant, and it was all moun- 

 tains as far as we could see in three directions, and over much of 

 this roughness no specimen hunter has traveled. 



In the proceedings of the Academy of Sciences of Philadelphia, 

 Dr. Pilsbry has given one of his best reports on the shells of this
