x CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE CHARLESTON MuUsrEUM 
In the following catalog I have mentioned only such species 
as have been actually found within the geographical limits of 
the state. The species unmarked are either in my own collec- 
tion or have passed under my personal inspection. Those 
marked with an asterisk (*) are admitted on the authority cited. 
The exclamation point (!) indicates localities where I have per- 
sonally collected the species referred to. 
Most unfortunately the labels of the only large collections 
beside my own to which I have had access, namely those of the 
Charleston Museum, the Ravenel collection, and the Gibbes 
collection now owned by the State University at Columbia, are 
in such a condition as to be unreliable so far as the definite locali- 
ties at which the specimens were collected is concerned, yet it is 
hoped that closer study of them will enable me to erase the aster- 
isk in many instances. 
None of our local students have given any attention to a 
study of the Nudibranchiata, and possessing myself no adequate 
knowledge of the order, I have deemed it best to exclude it from 
the catalog. 
I desire to acknowledge especially the assistance of Miss Laura 
M. Bragg, of the Charleston Museum, in verifying references, in 
preparing the manuscript for the press, and in correcting proof.
