Ca.'isis cameo Stimp. One sea-worn specimen on the ocean beach. 



Semicassis sidcosus Briig. var. infiata Shaw. Rare. 



Doliiiin galea Linn. Several broken shells. D. perdix is not 

 found here. 



Pyrula papyratia Say. A few sea- worn specimens. 



Natlca piDiilla Say. Common. 



Nutica dupllcata Say. Common. 



Sigaretus pei'spectivus Say. Not common. 



Sigaretus maeulata Say. Rare. I believe that this is identical with 

 S. Martiniaiius Phill., of the West Indies. The only apparent 

 difference is that the revolving brown bands of S. martinlanus are 

 irregularly divided into maculations by broad longitudinal lines 

 which usually represent rest periods in the growth of the shell and 

 are frequently on S. martinianus. 



Pyramidella conica C. B. Ad. Several specimens. 



Littorina irrorata Say. Common. 



Littoria scabra L. var. lineata Gmel. Common on the sea wall 

 but much smaller than those from the southern part of the State. 



Cerithium atratum Born. Common around Marsh Island. 



Cerlthidea scalar ifor mis Say. Common along the marshes west of 

 the city. 



Cerithiopsis greenii C. B. Ad. Common. 



Cerithiopsis terebralis C. B. Ad. Common.

A WORD TO YOUNG COLLECTORS. 



BY JOSIAH KEEP. 



We ought to feel a great veneration for the men who have gone 

 before us, and who spent so much time and strength in preparing 

 the way for those who were to follow. Whenever we take up the 

 label of a shell and see the abbreviation " Linn." followingthe specific 

 name, how it carries our thoughts back to the great Swedish natu- 

 ralist who did so much to simplify the nomenclature and enlarge the 

 domain of science.
