 land shells from Kent, Ohio, including Zonites milium, Morse ; 

 multidentatus, Binn and exiguus, Stimp. ; Helix labyrinthica. 

 Say, and Pupa milium, Gould. It is just as important to have 

 the minute species as the larger ones and we are glad to see 

 some of the members paying attention to them.

GENERAL NOTES. 



Specimens of Succinea and Ancylus are desired by Prof 

 B. Shimek, 219 Bloomington St., Iowa City, Iowa. A large list of 

 land, fresh-water and marine shells are offered in exchange. 



Australian Limax. We are informed by Mr. Charles Hedley of 

 the Queensland Museum, that Limax Queenslandicus Hedley is 

 identified by Dr. Simroth as Af/yiolimax Icevis Miillcr; which, it 

 seems, has established itself in Australia. — H. A. P. 



The attention of our readers is called to the advertisement of Mr. 

 Hugh Fulton, in this number of the Nautilus. Mr. Fulton was 

 for over fourteen years, assistant to G. B. Sowerby, esq., F. L. S., of 

 London, before commencing business for himself. Si)eaking from 

 our own experience, we can as cordially recommend him to con- 

 chologists desiring foreign shells, as we do Henry Hemphill to 

 those wishing to purchase American mollusks.
