This pnper lists fifty- nine species and varieties of land mollusks and sixty-four 

 spt-cies and varieties of fresh water forms. They were all found within five miles 

 of Dunreith. There will, doubtless, be some question of correct indentifications.

 Annual Report, pp. 428-468. 1889. 



This volume gives a mere liitof the contents of certain cases in the State's Museum, 

 and is absolutely valueless for any conceivable purpose. Many of the forms listed 

 are, doubtless, from this state, but in the absence of locality references the list 

 has no value to the student. The proof-reading is a marvel of carelessness.
