The interesting point may here be noted, that whereas the Nicar¬ 
aguan olivacea and the Honduras species are typically Central Am¬ 
erican forms, and show a good deal of resemblance to the species of 
the greater Antilles, the Panama species is quite different, and be¬ 
longs with the series of the lesser Antilles, Trinidad, etc. 
NOTES AND NEWS. 
Unio cariosus and ochraceus. —By an unfortunate oversight, 
the wood-cuts of these two species in the March number were trans¬ 
posed. The figure on page 121 is U. cariosus; that on page 122 is 
U. ochraceus. 
Bythinia tentaculata. —A new locality for this species is 
Black Lake, Holland, Michigan, Mr. L. H. Streng having collected 
adult and young in all stages of growth there. 
Mr. H. E. Sargent, having spent some weeks in New England, 
has returned to his home at Woodville, Ala. 
Mr. James M. De Laney has removed from Bochester to South 
Livonia, Livingston Co., N. Y.
