AMERICAN JOURNAL 



In this article it is stated that the author had called the at 

 tention of the California Academy of Sciences to numerous er- 

 rors of locality in the catalogues of shells published by the Con^ 

 chological Section of the Philadelphia Academy. As the author 

 has not, in his communication, specified the instances of supposed 

 error, we are unable to judge whether or not his strictures are 

 correct. 



Mr. Stearns also states that beach-worn specimens of Trivia 

 (Jalifornica are the T. depauperata of Sowerby.

On Shells of the West Slope of North America. By J. G. 

 Cooper, M. D. 



The species remarked upon were collected by Dr. Robert K" 

 Reid, near Salt Lake, and by others in the adjoining regions. 



This is a valuable paper to students of American Conchology, 

 chiefly in reference to the geographical distribution of the land- 

 shells. With regard to the locality of Cochliopa Mowellii, nob., 

 I believe with Dr. Cooper that it is a Panama species. The 

 first specimens received by me were said to have been collected 

 in California, but I have .since obtained Panama specimens 

 through two collectors.

Notes on the genus Pineria, and on the lingual dentition of 

 Pineria Viequensis, Pfeiffer. By Thomas Bland and 

 W. G. Binney. 

 Helix Schrammi, Crosse, and Pineria Viequensis are said to 

 be identical, the latter named having priority. The generic 

 name Pineria is retained for the present, although it is uncer- 

 tain whether the animal is possessed of inferior tentacles or not. 

 The shell resembles Macroceramus, but the dentition resembles 

 that of the typical Cylindrellas.
