142 THE NAUTILUS. 



Huntington, L. Isl. (S. Smith'). It is locally common in the 

 marshes along the New Jersey coast. C. W. JOHNSON. 



FASCIOLARIA PAPILLOSA SOWERBY. In regard to my reference 

 to this species in the October NAUTILUS, p. 45, Mr. J. R. LeB. 

 Tomlin says: " I have the Tankerville catalogue before me and 

 on p. xvi of its Appendix I find: 1552, Fasciolaria papillosa. 

 F. testa fusiformi, apice papillosa, anfractibus transverse stri- 

 atis, mediane nodosis; apertura intus laevis; cauda longa, long.

"It is not figured nor is any locality given." It may possi- 

 bly be a young F. yigantea but from the above description it 

 seems unrecognizable. C. W. JOHNSON. 



PHYSA SMITHIANA new name for PHYSA SMITHII. Dr. Bryant 

 Walker has kindly called my attention to the fact that the 

 name Physa smithii used in my paper "Fresh-water Mollusca 

 from Colorado and Alberta" (Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 

 XLI, p. 535) is preoccupied by Clessin (Conch. Cab., Plan- 

 orbis, p. 294) for a Physa smithii from Australia. I therefore 

 change the name to Physa smithiana. FRANK C. BAKER, Uni- 

 versity of Illinois. 



AN AMENDMENT. In the January number of the NAUTILUS, 

 on page 103, I inadvertently omitted from the list of Simpson's 

 catch of Unionida 3 at Lodgepole Creek, Anodontoides fermsacianus 

 Lea. The omission makes the next sentence unintelligible or 

 misleading, according to the interpretation placed upon it by 

 the reader. JUNIUS HENDERSON.

 that in this genus each colony " presents certain slight char- 

 acters by which we can distinguish its members from those of 

 other colonies. The question arises, are the forms in the var-
