OF CONCHOLOGY. 207 



SCIENTIFIC INTELLIGENCE. 



New Locality for Glandina truncata. — This species has 

 been detected living at Macon, Georgia, where Mr. T. C. Dow- 

 nie, of that city, assures the Editor that he has collected it. 

 Further observation of the habits of this species is promised by 

 Mr. D. during the coming collecting season. Its occurrence so 

 far from the coast is a very curious discovery. 



Shell-Collecting in Brazil. — Mr. A. D. Brown, a zealous 

 conchologist residing at Princeton, N. J., has just departed for 

 Brazil, where he proposes to spend a year in collecting shells in 

 the interior provinces of Goyaz and Matto Grosso, which have 

 never before been conchologically explored.
