 Mr. Conrad remarks that Noetia [Area) ponderosa, Say, 

 occurs abundantly in the Post-Pliocene of the Southern 

 States, and lives on the southern coast of Florida. To this 

 we would add that fossil valves are not at all uncommon both 

 at Cape May and Atlantic City, N. J. At the former locality 

 Mr. Say's fossil Turitella pleheia also occurs on the beach.
