It may be noted that the specific name alba is several times preoceu- 
pied in this genus, while neither Mr. Calkins’ figure nor description are 
sufficient to identify the shell by. Indeed, so far as the former indi- 
cates anything, it is that the shell is not an Odostomia, but some form 
of Eulimella or Turbonilla. It is to be hoped Mr. Calkins will give fur- 
ther information in regard to it.

Key West; from which the authors have apparently derived their 
extraordinary specific name. 
Anachis ostreicola Melvill 1. c¢., p. 160. 
Not described but said to be “allied to C. nigricans but smaller”; 
‘‘found on oyster shells at Appalachicola.” Noted in the preceding list. 
Natica campechiensis (Recluz) Melvill l.c., p. 161. 
The author includes under this name Neverita duplicata and Lunatia 
heros. 
Conus melvillii Sow., jr., P. Z.8., p. 795, 1878. 
Key West. Mr. Sowerby identifies among Mr. Melvill’s shells Conus 
japonicus Hvass and C. nebulosus Solander, neither of which has been 
known from this region, and it may fairly be said, in view of some of 
the other identifications, that they still need confirmation by a com- 
petent authority. 
In a note Mr. Melvill adds in regard to— 
“ Melaniade and Unionidw._-At Key West I did not come across a 
single specimen of these families, which is not surprising in the inland 
torrents, but are fond of fresh water. I found several species in my 
North American travels, but very few in South Carolina, and those of 
no particular peculiarity of form” (1. ¢. p. 173). 
Perhaps some of our winter sojourners in Florida will take the hint, 
and more particularly examine the “inland torrents” of Key West for 
the missing shells. 
Mr. Hemphill also collected specimens of Glottidia pyramidata Stimp- 
son, at Cedar Keys; which have been received as this paper was pass- 
ing through the press.
