Mr. Tryoncalledattention tospecimensof-4mm'c<?Z« ^rawa. Say, 

 from Carter Co., Missouri, presented to the Section by Mr. John 

 Wolf, of Canton, Ills. This very minute species was apparently 

 unknown to Prof. Haldeman, who, in his monograph of %he genus, 

 merely quotes Say's original description and citation of locality, 

 and does not figure it. The species was for years considered a 

 doubtful one, until Mr. Tryon had re-discovered it, some six or 

 eight years since, in considerable numbers in ditches in the 

 southern part of the City of Philadelphia, near League Island.
