HAWAIIAN AND SOUTH SEA SHELLS. 



The following is a list of Marine, F. W. and Land Shells, collected per- 

 sonally in the Hawaiian Islands in 1892, and also a number of species purchased 

 at the Islands from collections made in the South Seas and brought thereto by 

 the Missionary Steamer, Morning Star. 



These Shells are for sale at the affixed prices, or they may be had in exchange 

 for other desirable species not in my collection, particularly for such as have been 

 personally collected by correspondents. 



Postage and other charges to be met by the sender unless otherwise arranged, 

 except for heavy or low-priced shells. 



In making exchanges, the values placed upon such species by dealers is to be 

 considered, rather than exchange of species for species, or shell for shell. 



I have also a printed list of Shells for exchange or sale, collected in Japan at 

 two different visits. It may be had on application. 



A new and complete list of Japanese Marine Shells will be published by me 

 in October, 1894, embodying my own collections, new to science, or not before 

 reported from Japan, since Bunker's work in 1882, with critical notes by Prof. 

 H. A. Pilsbry, and with illustrations of new species.
