 aeries. VI., Part 1. 4to. July, 1866. 



Neiv Unionidce, 3Ielanidce, etc., cMejiy of the United States. 

 By Isaac Lea. 



This fine paper contains the full description and remarks 

 upon a large number of new species, the Latin diagnoses of 

 which were published in the Proceedings of this Society princi- 

 pally during the years 1862 — 63. The names and localities of 

 most of these species we have already given in former reviews. 

 The descriptions are now accompanied by illustrations of a very 

 superior character. 



A large addition is made in the present paper to the Mollus- 

 cous fauna of North Carolina, in the description of over twenty 

 new species, (mostly, as heretofore, belonging to the great com- 

 planatus group,) native to that State ; there are also a few 

 Anodontce from various localities, the Unionidce collected by the 

 Nyassa (Central African) Expedition, and species from the 

 Southern United States, and from the river Tigris, in Assyria. 

 The paper is not con-eluded in the present issue of the Journal.
