THE NAUTILUS. 47 



Alt. (at right angles to axis) 8^, 7^, 6^ mm. 



Hab. Found in a pleistocene deposit in the Pecos Canon, New 

 Mexico, a few miles above the Valle Ranch, by my wife and Dr. M. 

 Grabham, in 1903. With them occurred a form of 0. strigosa, 

 which seems not to differ essentially from the smaller forms of the 

 huachucana group. The largest has max. diam. 17^, alt. 10 mm. 1 



NOTES AND NEWS. 



REPUBLICATION OF THE MUSEUM BOLTENIANUM, PART 2, 1798. 



The rarity of part 2 of this work, which relates to Mollusca, is 

 well known to students. In response to a number of inquiries it is 

 proposed to reproduce a few copies, by photographic facsimile, from 

 the Crosse copy now in the British Museum (Natural History). 



The large number of pages (204) must render this a somewhat 

 costly task, and we should be glad to know if you would care for a 

 copy to be reserved for you at the price of 2 (two pounds). 



The work would be done, under our supervision, by Mr. F. W. 

 Reader. 



The issue will be limited, numbered and signed, and could be 

 prepared for distribution during autumn. 



It must be clearly understood that unless sufficient subscribers are 

 forthcoming no issue can be made. 



Please address reply to Mr. Sykes E. R. SYKES, C. DAVIS 



SHERBORN. 



NEW LOCALITY FOR LYOGYRUS BROWNII CARPENTER. 

 Several years ago the lakes in Roger Williams Park, Providence, 

 R. I., were drawn off, the bottoms dredged out and the contents 

 thrown out upon the land. They were left empty, exposed to the 

 sun for two years and all the species of mollusks destroyed. There 

 were fourteen species in the lakes and thousands of specimens. 

 Among others were the Lyogyrus Brownii, and as they were never 

 discovered anywhere else, I supposed (the locality being exhausted) 

 that they were extinct. Last week a young collector here, Mr. 

 Frank Perry, has found in Old Warwick Pond, about four miles 



'0. y. compactula seems to me to be a form or subvariety of 0. y. neomexicana, 

 which occurs living in the same general region. H. A. P.
