WILLIS NOVA SCOTIAN SHELLS—GANONG. 419 
If. 
VWebneis Lisl.OF NOVA SCOTIAN SHELLS, 
1865. 
The following list, which has been described in the preceding 
bibliography (No. 5), is re-printed as nearly like the original as 
possible, even mis-prints being retained, and without explana- 
tion where they are not misleading. No attempt has been made 
in editing it, to correct the synonymy except where it is very 
misleading, or to add any information except where such is con- 
tained in other papers by Willis. Comments on localities are 
added, not when the range has been extended by later researches, 
but only where these researches seem to show that the list is in 
error. It is in a word a re-print of John Willis’ list, and we 
have not attempted to make it a modern list of Nova Scotian 
Mollusca. The editor is of course responsible for all of the foot- 
notes.

coilect during many years study and labour, up to 1862.
