The collections received at tlie Smithsonian Inst, from Panama consist, in the 

 main, of species already tabulated from that region. The following, however,

115. The Pulraonates of the Pacific slope h^ve not formed a special study 

 ■with the writer of this Rejiort, as thej' were already in the abler hands of 

 Messrs. Binney, Bland, and other eminent Ti ansatlantic naturalists. The 

 opinions of Mr. Binney as to syni lymy, &c., with descriptions of new 

 species and details of those previously known, were given in papers pub- 

 lished in the ' Proc. Ac. Xat. Sc. Phil.' as follows: — " Descriptions of American 

 Land Shells," Feb. 1857 ; " Xotes on American Land Shells," Oct. l^oT, 

 May 1858, Nov. 185S, July Is.jO : and also in the ' Proc. Bost. N. H. S.,' 

 *' Description of two supposed new species of American Land Shells," Apr. 

 1857. These are embodied in ' The Terrestrial Air-Breathing Molluscs of the 

 United States and the adjacent Territories of North America,' vol. iv., by 

 W. G. Binney, Boston, 1851). It was lirst printed in the 'Boston Jouiiial 

 of Natural History,' vol. vii., and is intended as a Supplement to the great 

 treatise by his father, vols, i.- iii., on the same subject. It is impossible to 

 speak in too high terms of commendation of the manner in which this work 

 has been prepared and executed, and of the beautiful figures drawn by Otro 

 I Kohler. The more matured views of the author were embodied in th", 

 ' Check-List of the Terrestrial Gasteropoda of North America,' published by 

 the Smithsonian Inst.. June 1860, of which a second edition was soon issucu. 

 The species were divided iuto three series, — (1) those of the Pacilic coa&t,
