132 THE NAUTILUS. 



BULIMULUS SCHIEDEANUS ( PER. ) IN TEXAS : In May 1913, 

 Mr. Walter E. Koch found dead shells of this species near Ter- 

 lingua, Brewster Co. , Texas which are indistinguishable from 

 Mexican specimens. The largest measures 41^x2H mm, with 

 seven whorls. GEO. H. CLAPP. 



Dr. Ortmann informs us that he has received a letter from Dr. 

 F. Haas, of the Senckenburg Museum, Frankfurt a. M. He 

 is in Spain. At the beginning of the war, he was in the High 

 Pyrenees, and descending into French territory, was seized. All 

 his belongings were taken from him by the French authorities, 

 including his collections, and he was finally permitted to pass 

 over into Spain. 



After many hardships, on account of lack of funds, he was at 

 last taken care of by a branch-plant of an electric company of 

 his home town. He is now there, and his address is : Care of 

 Sociedad Electro-Quimica, Flix (Tarragona) Spain. 



VIVIPAROUS UROCOPTID^E While going over Urocoptids in the 

 Museum I noticed that Brachypodella (Liparotes) obesa and sutu- 

 ralis (Weinl.) are both viviparous. Shells of both species con- 

 tain young of two or three whorls. You may already know 

 this, but I do not find it recorded. W. F. CLAPP, Museum of 

 Comparative Zoology. 



GUNDLACHIA OR NAVicELLA ? As a supplement to Dr. DalFs 

 article on the earliest notice of Gundlachia it may be as well to 

 mention that on looking over Vahl's paper I was struck by the 

 resemblance of his "Patella" to the genus Navicella. I see 

 that Tryon (Man. Conch. X) has taken the same view. H. 

 A. PILSBRY.
