culosn, and P. scphidia oralis from the west 

 coast of America are described and figured 

 as new. A number of species hitherto unfig- 

 ured or imperfectly delineated are now fig- 

 ured in an accurate manner. 



On the genus Gemma Deshayes. 



Journ. Conchology, Manchester, England, 



X, No. 8, Dec. 1902, pp. 238-243. 



A review and revision of the genus and 



the species belonging to it. The name Psephi- 



dia is substituted for Psephis Carpenter, not 



Guenee. 



On the preservation of the marine 



animals of the northwest coast. 



Rep. Smithsonian Inst., 1901 (1902), pp. 

 683-688. 

 A summary of the conditions under which 

 the marine mammals of the northwest coast

 probability of being able to preserve them 

 from extermination.

Hawaiian Physidse. 



Naulilus, XVI, No. 9, Jan. 1903, p. 106. 

 A note announcing the discovery of true 

 Physidx in the Hawaiian Islands, where pre- 

 viously it had been supposed that the reversed 

 shells (resembling Physa, and often so called

 all belonged to the Limnxidx. 



Synopsis of the Carditacea and of 



the American species. 



Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila. for 1902, Jan. 

 1903, pp. 696-716. 

 This paper, on the same lines as the synop- 

 sis of the Veneridx, reviews the CardUidse 

 and the Cyclocardiidx and gives lists of the 

 species found on the east and west coasts of 

 North and South America, with numerous 

 notes. The following are described and fig- 

 ured as new: Venericardia arniilla, V.moniliata, 

 V. gouldii, V. ineisa, V. stearnsii, V. alaskana, 

 and Cardita sulcosa. Venericardia rudis Gray, 

 and T'. monilicosta Gabb, are revived for valid 

 species, and Cardita grayi is proposed for C. 

 crassa Gray, not Lamarck. The new species 

 named in this paper are figured on the plates 

 accompanying the Synopsis of the Astartidx 

 (q. v.). 



Review of the classification of the 



Cyrenacea. 



Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., xvi, Feb. 21, 1903, 

 pp. 5-8. 

 This is a very condensed statement of the 

 classification proposed for the Cyrenidx and 

 Sphxriidx. Miodontopsis is proposed for Mio- 

 don Sandberger (not Carpenter) , and Projisch- 

 eriaioT Fischeria Bernard! (not Desvoidy).
