with the sinuous lines of growth. The smaller specimen of four (4) 

 whorls is destitute of spiral lines, either raised or incised, but the 

 larger one of five (5) whorls has about fifteen (15) very faint incised 

 spiral lines on the body whorl commencing well below the shoulder 

 and are so shallow as to scarcely interrupt the otherwise smooth 

 surface; there are also occasional faint indications of one or two 

 spirals just above the suture on the preceding whorl. The one and 

 one-half (l.S) nuclear whorls are well rounded and apparently 

 smooth (this may be due to erosion) and regularly coiled. The 

 epidermal layer has a delicate yellow tint. 



The larger specimen measures 7 mm. in length by 3.5 mm. in 

 width. The smaller, 5.5 mm. in length by 3 mm. in width. 



I take much pleasure in naming the species in the honor of Mr. 

 and Mrs. Dwight Blaney, of Boston, Mass., and Ironbound Island, 

 Maine who have long been enthusiastic collectors and students of 

 New England moUusks and have added much to our knowledge 

 of tlie fauna.

LIST OF SHELLS FROM FRENCHMAN'S BAY, MAINE. 



BY DWIGHT BLANEY. 



The following list of additions to the shell-bearing MoUusks of 

 Frenchman's Bay, is supplementary to the lists published in 1904 

 and 1906. (Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., Vol. 32, No. 2, pp. 23-41, 

 and Nautilus, Vol. XIX, No. 10, p. 110). The writer is in- 

 debted to Dr. K. J. Bush and Mr. C. W. Johnson for the identifi- 

 cation of the various species. 



Leda caudata, Loven. One fine specimen. 



Odostomia sulcosn (Mighels)= O. sulcata Verrill. (See K. J. 

 Bush, Am. Journal Sci., Vol. XXVII, p. 475, 1909.) 



We have dredged 20 specimens of this interesting species, the 

 largest being 4 mm. long. Some with the distinct upturned nucleus 

 most perfect. 



Odostomia dealhata (Stimp.) Six specimens.
