year or two later. He was engaged upon a new Catalogue for pub- 

 lication when I visited him two years ago, which owing to poor 

 health was never completed. Dr. Taylor was a Fellow of the 

 Zoological Society and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. 

 He also published lists of the land and fresh-water shells of Van- 

 couver Island and of British Columbia. — A. W. Hanham. 



NOTES. 



Land Shells of Carthagena, Colombia — During a brief 

 stop at this port Dr. A. P. Brown collected the following snails on 

 the hiil La Fopa, about a mile from Carthagena : Euglandina 

 cumingi (Beck), Oxystyla maracaihensis (Pfr.) and Bulimidus kreh- 

 sianus Pils. The hill is chiefly composed of recent corals and sea 

 shells. H. A. P. 



ViVIPARUS CONTECTOIDES IN PHILADELPHIA Mr. J. Baily, 



Jr., discovered F- contectoides Binn. in a lily pond near Memorial 

 Hall, Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, in June, 1909 ; Mr. S. Jacobs 

 collected some at the same place in 1910, and Mr. H. L. Mather 

 found it again on April 20, 1912, showing that the species is well 

 established there. E. G. Vanatta. 



Lymnaea (Radix) auricularia Linn, in Colorado. — Mr. F. 

 R. Warren, the well-known mammalogist, has transmitted to me 

 for examination five specimens of this species, which were collected 

 alive in a pond on Monument Creek, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, 

 by C. F. Fraker. I wrote to Dr. F. C. Schneider, of Colorado Col- 

 lege, which is located in that city, and asked him to look for more. 

 He replied : " AVe went to the pond in Monument Park for them, 

 only to find it recently cleaned. As a result we took only one spe- 

 cimen." There is no reason to doubt that the species has been acci- 

 dentally introduced there, and it will be interesting to note how it 

 withstands the climatic conditions of Colorado, at an altitude of 

 nearly 6,000 feet.
