THE NAUTILUS.

how could you so mistake a pigmy for a giant, a veritable baby for 
a grandfather ? Far better would it have been had you made a 
Mecca of the Empire State and sat at the feet of its astute corre¬ 
spondent, whose present throne is, doubtless, ye same old Fascio- 
laria, “alive and travelling” and “weighing several hundred 
pounds.” 
NOTE ON HELIX SAULIJE PFR (non REEVE)=PALUMBA SOUVERBIE. 
BY HUGH FULTON, LONDON. 
Owing to an error in Reeve’s Monograph some confusion has 
been caused as to the identity of the above species; both Pilsbry 
and Hidalgo have taken Reeve’s description and figure (Conch. 
Icon., fig. 393) as being that of the type of saulice, consequently 
and with reason, they have considered the palumba of Souverbie to 
be distinct from the former species. The fact is, that when Reeve 
described and figured his saulice, lie had not the type of that species 
before him; the type specimen of Pfeiffer’s saulice in the Cumingian 
collection, is identical with the palumba of Souverbie, Journ. de 
Conchyl., 1858, p. 369 ; 1862, t. 10, f. 5. 
I have not been able to find in the Cumingian collection the 
shell figured by Reeve. 
SHELLS OF AROOSTOOK CO., MAINE. 
COLLECTED BY OLOF O. NYLANDER. 
The species listed below were collected in the vicinity of Caribou, 
Maine. Aroostook County is the northern county in Maine, and 
very few species have hitherto been reported from there. The spec¬ 
imens of Limncea and Planorbis show great variation, the forms of 
L. cmarginata are especially interesting.
