 from California.

 Murex petri, n. sp., is described from San 

 Pedro, Cal., and compared with its allied 

 species. 



Some names which must be dis- 



carded. 



Nautilus, xiv, No. 4, Aug., 1900, p. 44. 

 An enumeration of some nameswhich being 

 preoccupied in nomenclature must be re- 

 placed by others. Cistella Gray, 1853, not 

 Gistel, 1848, is named Argyrotheca; Euryta H. 

 and A. Adams, 1858, not Gistel, 1848, is named 

 Mazatlania; Glomus Jeffreys, 1876, not Gistel, 

 1848, is named Pristig/oma. By a process of 

 elimination it is shown that Mitrularia Schu- 

 macher, 1817, must be replaced by Cheilea 

 Modeer, 1793.

The family is discussed, reviewed, and a 

 new classification proposed for the forms con- 

 tained in it. The limits of the genera, sub- 

 genera and sections contained in the family 

 are newly restricted, and the following new 

 subdivisions are proposed: PhyUodina, new 

 section, type Tellina squamifera Deshayes; 

 Merisca, new section, type Tellina crystallina 

 Wood, Scrobiculina, new section, type Scrobi- 

 cularia viridotincta Cpr. , Scissula, new section, 

 type Tellina decora Say, Peronidia, new sec- 

 tion, type Tellina albicans Gmelin; Psamma- 

 coma, new subgenus, type Macoma Candida 

 Bertin; Cydippina, new section, type Macoma 

 brevifrons Say; Psammotreta, newsection. type 

 Tellina aurora Hanley. 



The following new species are described and 

 figured- Tellina (Eur% 'tellina) georgiana; Tel- 

 ana {LioteUina) iheringi; Tellina (Elliptotd- 

 hna) amencana, Tellina (Angulus) promera; 

 Tellina ( Anguhts) ftagellum ; Tellina (Angulus) 

 colorata; Tellina (Angulus) texana; Macoma 

 phenax, Macoma (Psammacoma) extenuata; 

 and Macoma (Psammacoma) tageliformis; all 

 from the Atlantic coasts of America. The 

 lol lowing are new from the Pacific coast: Tel- 

 lina (Merisca) reclusa, Tellina (EUiptoteUina) 

 pacifica; Tellina (PhyUodina) prist iphora; Tel-

This is a continuation of the monographic 

 review of the Tertiary fossils (especially those 

 of the Oligocene and later beds) of the south- 

 eastern United States. The types of this work 

 are nearly all in the National Museum collec- 

 tion. The work includes, in most instances, 

 a thorough revision of the nomenclature of 

 each group, an enumeration of the known 

 Tertiary species in American beds, a descrip- 

 tion with figures of the new or unfigured 

 forms and comparisons with the Pacific coast 

 and other fossil faunas and with the now 

 existing fauna of the adjacent seas. The 

 Oligocene of the West Indian region being 

 practically the same as part of the Floridian 

 beds, is also included in the general revision. 

 The following groups are covered by the 

 present issue: Solenacea, Tellinacea, Isocar- 

 diacea, Cardiacea, Leptonacea, and the fam- 

 ilies Petricolida, Cooperellidse, andDiplodon- 

 tidse. The following sections are proposed as 

 as new: Orobitclla in Montacuta; .Eretica and 

 Rombergia in Strigilla; Diuocardium in Car- 

 ilium. Qarurn, and Psammoica in Psammobia; 

 Plat ydonax and Grammatodonax in Donax; Se- 

 melina in Semele; and the following new spe- 

 cies are described and figured: Abratriangu- 

 lata; Aligena minor , A.nuda; Alveinus rotun- 

 dus; AnciUaria chipolana; Anisodonta ameri- 

 cana. A.howdcniana, A. Carolina; Astyris^ierfer-

 H. masyckii, B. plectopygia; B. rota, B. scintil- 

 lata: < 'ardium acrocome, C. alicula, C. aminense,
