List of specimens received from the United States and Canada from 

 the last report, June, 1907, up to the first day of September. 



We list these specimens as they may be known to us, though we claim 

 no critical knowledge of the subject other than concerning the Gastromy-

 continue to solicit specimens suitable for museum specimens, as per circular
