the species. The note books were not finished before leaving: 

 this was accomplished on the mainland. 



On completing the note books a trip was taken to Washington 

 to study the types of Gould and Mighels in the Smithsonian Insti- 

 tution. Specimens, in our colledlion, agreed with the following 

 species : Godwinia caperata Gld., G. tenella Gld., Vitrea pauxil- 

 lus Gld., Philonesia cicercula Gld., P. subtilissima Gld., Kndo- 

 donta rubiginosa Gld., Leptachatiua guttula Gld., L. striatula 

 Gld., Carelia adusta Gld., Tornatellina peponum Gld., Amastra 

 nucleola Gld., Limnaea rubella Lea, L. volutata Gld. and Helicina 

 uberta Gld. 



The following species were not in our collection. Notes were 

 made and the nearest agreeing species were compared and the 

 differences noted: Microcystina cryptoportica Gld., Philonesia 

 subrutila Migh., Endodonta stellula Gld., Leptachatiua accincta 

 Migh. (the specimen, figured in the Exp. Exp., Moll., pi. vii, 

 fi§- 97> proved to be L. ventulus Fer.), L. acuminata Gld. (the 

 type and only specimen, which is also the tj-pe of the genus, is 

 badly broken), L. cerealis Gld., Opeas junceus Gld., Succinea ex- 

 planata Gld., S. venusta Gld. and Helicina laciniosa Migh. 



The next trip was to Dra-el-Mizan, in Algeria, to stvidy the 

 types in the colle(5tion of W. Ancey. One hundred and fourteen 

 species and varieties of our shells are credited to this author. 

 Since returning, word of M. Ancey 's death has been received, and 

 it is fortunate that the trip w^as taken in time, as he identified a 

 number of his species in the colle(5tion taken along. The follow- 

 ing species of M. Ancey were represented in our collecftion : Mtrea 

 hawaiiensis Anc, V. baldwini Anc, Philonesia abeillei Anc, P. 

 turgida Anc, P. baldwini Anc, P. lymanniana Anc, P. platyla 

 Anc, P. sericans Anc, P. rufobrunnea Anc, Endodonta nuda 

 Anc, E. henshawi Anc, E. thwingi Anc. (MS.), E. hystricella 

 var. paucilamellata Anc, Pterodiscus digonophorus Anc, P. peta- 

 sus Anc, Nesopupa acanthinula Anc, N. baldwini Anc, N. bald- 

 wini var. centralis Anc, N. carbonifera Anc, N. clathratula Anc, 

 N. kauaiensis Anc, N. magdalente Anc, N. magdalenae var. 

 prisca Anc, N. plicifera Anc, N. wesleyana Anc, N. mirabilis 

 var. hawaiiensis Anc, Pseudohyalina meniscus Anc, Punctum
