It remains for me to add, which I do with great pleasure, that 

 I am indebted for this second series of Egyptian crania to Mr. 

 Wm. A. Gliddon, of Cairo, who, prompted by that extraordinary 

 interest in Egyptian questions which seems inherent in his family, 

 has availed himself of every opportunity for extending our know- 

 ledge of the people and the monuments of the valley of the Nile. 



Art. VI. — Catalogue of the Shells of Connecticut; by the late 



James H. Linslet. 



I 



The following catalogue of the shells of Connecticut, prepared 

 for the Yale Natural History Society by the Rev. James H. 

 Linsley, was left among the papers of the lamented compiler. 

 The study of the conchology of his native State was his favorite 

 pursuit, and to it he had devoted more time and investigation, 

 than to any and all the other classes of zoology which have 

 claimed his attention, and catalogues of which have successively 

 appeared in the American Journal of Science, including the Mam- 

 malia, Birds, Reptiles, and Fishes of Connecticut. 



He has more than doubled the number of shells supposed by 

 naturalists three years since, to be resident in our State, and has 

 also, it is believed, discovered many species entirely new. 



For these reasons, we have presented this catalogue to the 

 notice of the Society, though we very much regret that the 

 many valuable and interesting notes, which under happier cir- 

 cumstances would have accompanied it, have not been left on 

 record, and are therefore necessarily omitted. 



The many kind attentions in the form of specimens, informa- 

 tion respecting localities, &c, which Mr. Linsley received from
