MOLLUSC A OF MAINE. The June NAUTILUS has an article 

 by N. W. Lermond on additions to the Maine Mollusca. A 

 few slight corrections are needed. 



Columbella (Astyris) lunata Say. 



Lowtide at Damariscotta (not dredged), not Sheepscott 

 River, which is ten miles away. Add also as localities : Orrs 

 Island and Quohog Bay, at Casco Bay. 



Musculium winkleyi, St. Old Orchard (not Saco). 



Amnicola schroekingeri, Saco, proves to be a new species and 

 is now Amnicola winkleyi, Pilsbry. 



The following are also new to Lermond 's list : 



Pyramidella (Syrnola) fusca, Damariscotta at low tide. 

 Odostomia winkleyi, Quohog Bay.

Harper's Ranch, 6 miles above Clifton, Arizona, on the 

 Frisco river, July 1, '14. * * * We get a rattlesnake 

 (Crotalus mollossus) every day. * * 



We find a Sonorella here on both sides of the river. In 

 three days got 4 alive, 200 dead. Also an Ashmunella (4 

 dead) that seems to be a beardless pilsbryi. Will try the 

 Copper King Mt. one day, and then move up the river four 

 miles. 



We have a team, a lumber wagon and a high-school New 

 York boy of 17. We plan to go to Luna and then cross over 

 to the Mongollons and down the Frisco to Duncan on the 

 railroad. JAS. H. FERRISS.
