VlRIPARUS CONTECTOIDES BlNN. IN BOSTON, MASS. This 



species has recently appeared in great numbers in the Lake in 

 the Public Garden. Adults measuring 23 mm. (slightly eroded) 

 are comparatively scarce, but specimens measuring from 9 to 

 13 mm. are abundant. Mr. E. G. Vanatta has recorded it from 

 the lily pond, Fairmount Park, Philadelphia (NAUT. vol. 26, 

 p. 84, 1912). As this species is frequently kept in aquaria, it 

 has probably been introduced in the Lake with goldfish which 

 are annually placed there. C. W. JOHNSON. 



MELANELLA IOTOIDES. When I published Melanella iota in 

 my " Report on the Turton Collection of South African Marine 

 Mollusks," Bulletin 91, U. S. National Museum, page 67, plate 

 19, fig. 2, 1915, I overlooked the existence of a previously de- 

 scribed Melanella bearing this name ; namely, Eulima iota C. B. 

 Adams, Ann. Lye. Nat. Hist. N. Y., p. 422, 1852. 



My shell therefore requires a new name, and may be known 

 as Melanella iotoides. PAUL BARTSCH.
