The circular contains a prospectus of a Flora and Fauna of N. 
America, in which he proposes to figure every animal and plant 
on wood, and that every one may have such a portion as he may 
require, partial sets are indicated as a fauna and flora ornata, eco- 
nomica, dietetica, Virginica, &c. &c., amounting to no Jess than 
one hundred and fifteen varieties of flora, and nearly as many of 
fauna. 
1817-18. American Monthly Magazine. This periodical con- “Gates 
tains many descriptions of bats, reptiles, fish, crustacea, &c. and 
Notrema, a curious genus of shell from the Ohio, which resembles 
Fissnrella. 'The name is changed to Tremesia iu the Monograph 
of Qhio shells. This animal is said to have been discovered by 
Audubon, and communicated to Rafinesque, who described and 
figured, without having seen it. It certainly cannot be admitted 
into the systems of malacology without further investigation. 
His Mazama (Ovis montana, Ord.) is identical with Aplocerus of 
Smith, and was probably first published.t If this is the case, 
Smith’s genus Mazama is left without a name. Many new spe- 
cies of Aphis, (and two new genera,) are described in this period- 
ical; and, in the extended article “on water snakes, several spe- 
cies of Sea-serpent are named, principally from newspaper para- 
graphs. See a list of these papers, appended to the Florula Lu- 
doviciana. 
1819. Seventy new genera of animals in the Journal de Phy- 
sique, Vol. 88. This paper is too long for analysis... Two Chei- 
roptera are noticed, and some “genera” of Helix proposed. The 
fishes described are reproduced in his Ohio fishes ; and many of 
the genera, especially among the zoophytes, are fossil. 
Several genera and species of fish are described in the Jour. 
Acad. Nat. Sci. Vol. I, and in the first volume of the American 
he greater part of his fossils resembled his plants, as any stone which was 
marked with the slightest ridge or furrow, or bore any vestige of organic remain, 
was carefu ully preserved, together with strange looking pebbles and waterworn frag- 
ments. Bushels of such trash were sold at the sale of bis effects, for trifling sums, 
but the seis pee absolutely worthless; the localities even being unknown.
