THE NAUTILUS. 93 



Neritina sp. indet. (perhaps pictsi?) One specimen found by Mrs. 

 Frank Pierce of Madison, Wis. 



Leptothyra bacula. 



Calliostoma gloriosum. 



Ethalia in valla ta. 



Haliotis cracherodii. 



Nuttallina californica. 



Octopus punctatus. 



These species have all been collected by me except where other- 

 wise noted. I was unable to compare the Neritina with any 

 authentic specimens, but Mr. Kelsey, of San Diego, to whom I men- 

 tioned it, said that he had not heard of any Neritina found so far 

 north, but thought it might be N. picta. The specimen of Nuttal- 

 lina californica Reeve was a seven-valved individual.

CHARLES AUSTIN DAYTON We regret to announce the death of 



Mr. C. A. Dayton who died at his residence in Brooklyn, N. Y., 

 Nov. 7, 1907. 



Mr. Dayton was a lifelong admirer and collector of shells, and was 

 widely known through his correspondence with collectors. He was 

 the first president of the Brooklyn Conchological Club and a regular 

 attendant at its meetings until his recent illness confined him to his 

 home. He possessed in high degree all those qualities which make 

 the honored citizen and the esteemed friend SILAS C. WHEAT.
