THE NAUTILUS. 141 



classic works of Bates and Wallace. He was a remarkably keen 

 observer, as shown by his letters, so his notebooks undoubtedly 

 contained a vast amount of most valuable observations. Even 

 when feeling "down in his luck," he always saw the funny 

 side of life, and had a large stock of humorous stories, which 

 he would frequently insert in his letters, for no other reason, 

 apparently, than that he just happened to think of them.

In a most interesting article by W. J. Wintemberg, "Arch- 

 aeology as an Aid to Zoology ' : (Canadian Field-Naturalist, 

 Vol. 83, Oct., 1919, pp. 68-72). an error in the distribution of 

 Litorina irrorata Say has crept into print, in quoting from G. G. 

 MacCurdy, "The Passing of a Connecticut Rockshelter " 

 (Amer. Jour. Sci., Vol. 38, p. 517, 1914). L. irrorata is not 

 confined to Florida, but is found more or less common along 

 the entire coast from New England southward. Vineyard 

 Sound, "sparingly" (Fem'M). New Haven, " not at all com- 

 mon " (Perkins). Stratford, Conn., "on high sedges" (Linsley}.
