form of the shell. On this account I am unwilling to constitute it 

 a new genus, but propose to call it a sub-genus under the name of 

 Neaplysia. San Pedro, Cal., July 25, 1893, on beach after a heavy 

 blow; 3 specimens. Stomach was full of large fragments of algae. 

 Kept in water for some time, they were very slow and uninterest- 

 ing in movements, showing no evidence of any means of defense, 

 except in the exudation of a beautiful purple fluid from the mantle 

 when handled." — Cp.

"Ariolimax columbiana, var. hecoxi. — I have received, at dif- 

 ferent times, numerous specimens, at every stage of growth, of 

 a large Ariolimax, found at Santa Cruz, California, by Miss Laura 

 J. P. Hecox. The class in the University dissected numerous indi- 

 viduals, working out the genitalia in detail. The most casual ex- 

 amination showed that these organs did not agree with any of 

 Mr. Binney's figures, from dissection of various west coast spe- 

 cies, and Mr. Binney, after a careful examination of the specimens, 

 at different ages, with a study of the genitalia, unhesitatingly 

 pronounces it a new species. For the present, however, I prefer 

 to give it only the varietal name above assigned, until I have the 

 opportunity of making a careful study of undoubted specimens of 

 A. columbiana, and a systematic comparison of these parts. It 

 may be the form referred to by Dr. Cooper as possibly new, in his 

 review of Mr. Binney's Terrestrial Mollusks, vol. v., Proc. Phil. 

 Soc, 1879." — A. G. Wetherby, Cincinnati society of natural his-
