Lieut. Green having been obliged to pack up his collection and leave homo 

 on professional duty, I was not able to make any criticfil examination of it. 

 Capt. DupoBt also, of Delaware, was one of the " Mexican-war naturalists," 

 and made a large collection of La Paz shells daring his campaign ; but I had 

 no opportunity of seeing them. 



Dr. Gould notes the following corrections in Lieut. Green's list, pp. 231— 

 234:— 

 Scmvle Jlavicans should he Jlavescens. | Donax abrupfus should be obestts. 



50. KeUett and Wood. — The locality-marks, on further study, display still 

 greater inaccuracies. 



Nussa Woodicardii, Fbs., Sandwich Islands [is the adolescent state of a very abun- 

 dant Vancou%'er and Californian shell, = A". mcmUcii, (ild.]. 



2\ii>^a Cooperi, Fbs., Sandwich Islands. [The type is immature and in poor con- 

 dition ; but it is a rare Californian species, since found by Ur. Cooper.] 



Trochifa spirata [has not been conttrmed from Gulf Cal., but appears in Brit. M is. 

 from St. Vincent, Cape Verdls., on the excellent authority of Macgillivray, who 

 did not visit the Wt st Coast. The Cumingian specimens were from K. and W. ; 

 but the " spirata, var.," from Magellan and Peru, are simply turrited forms of T, 

 radians]. 



Chlorostnmn aureotinda [=C nigerrima (Gmel.), Mua. Cum.; but it is unlikely 

 that (imelin knew the species. It is not quoted by Desh. (Lam. ix. 157) : but 

 tlie Trochus infuuce nigirrimus, Chemn. f. 1520, = T. melanostoinus, Gmel., is a 

 liise/la.] 



Mdr/pirifa ptirpurata et HUlii [are South American shells]. 



Purpura amdoga [is the rough in-egular form of P. cana1icitlafa=decemcnstata'^,. 

 „ fuscata, Fbs. [of which one brown and one whitish specimen (immature) 

 are preserved in the lirit. Mus. as tj-jies, is the large, smooth, rather elevated var. 

 of saxicula. It belongs to the Vancouver district]. 



Pirpura, like dfcem-costatus and Fregriiu'tii [is the normal state of sn.ricohi. The 

 banded smooth var. is named in Brit. !Mus. " ? Jiuc. st.iatum, Martyn, Un. 

 Conch, no. 7,"' but does not agree with the figure]. 



Tiifits Kellvttii. [This Sipfionalia, after long remaining unique in the Brit. Mus. 

 Col., has been twice condrmed from the San Dierran district by the Smitlisonian 

 collectors. Dr. Cooper's living specimen is ('y2') in. long ; and one specimen 

 was dredged by A. Ad. in the seas of South Japan.] 



51. Jteif/en. — The type collection, presented to the Brit. Mus., contains 

 nbout 890U specimens. The first duplicate series, containing about 6000 

 shells, was presented to the State of New York at the urgent request of 

 Dr. Xewcomb (well known for his researches in Achatinelht, made during his 

 professional residence in the Sandwich Islands), and is arranged in the Albany 

 jMuseum. Three other typical series were prepared for the Museums of 

 Paris, Berlin, and St. Petersburg, and offered on the same terms, viz. that 

 they should be arranged bj' the author, and preserved intact for the free use
