120 THE NAUTILUS. 



pi. 26, fig. 7, 8 ; 1870). This is evidently identical with C. 

 consobrina veracruzensis (Crosse & Fischer), 1877. As the name 

 is prior, the eastern Mexican race will be called Ceecilioides con- 

 sobrina prima (De Folin) ; and the subgenus Ccecilianopsis will 

 be replaced by Karolus De Folin. So far as I know, Karolus 

 has not been noticed by any author since its publication. In 

 Scudder's Nomenclator and the Zool. Record Index it is re- 

 ferred to as a genus of Hym [enoptera]. — H. A. Pilsbry. 



PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



Fauna of New England, 13, List or the Mollusca, by 

 Charles W. Johnson (Occ. Pap. Boston Soc. Nat, Hist., Vol. 

 VII). 231 pp., Dec, 1915. The 200-fathom line has been 

 taken as defining the seaward limit of the New England area, as 

 the 100-fathom contour would exclude part of the Gulf of 

 Maine. 710 species and subspecies are listed, of which 450 are 

 marine. Probably about 80 per cent, of these are deep-water 

 species. There are 80 species and subspecies of land shells, 83 

 fresh water gastropods, and 6 AuricuUdae. The Unionidae 

 number 26, Sphaeriidse 65. References are given to the original 

 descriptions, and to New England records. Type-locality is 

 given, and the New England distribution in detail. The nomen- 

 clature has been brought up to date, a valuable feature, which 

 will be appreciated by many naturalists beyond the limits of 

 New England, since the information could only be obtained 

 elsewhere by consulting a great number of books and papers, 

 abounding in conflicting use of names. The localities given 

 include all published records, and many not before in print, 

 from the collections of the author and his associates. 



Mr. Johnson's List is a valuable addition to the catalogues of 

 New England animals which the Boston Society is publishing. 

 It should be in the library of every working conchologist. It 

 may be obtained from the Society, price $1.00. — H. A. P.
