Mr. C. A. Whittemore has been elected curator of the museum 

 of the Kent Scientific Institute, one of the oldest scientific societies 

 of Michigan. 



Gould's Types and Ms. That which was burnt at Chicago at 

 the big fire was not Gould's types of North Pacific Exploring Expe- 

 dition but his complete MS. and notes, absolutely ready for publica- 

 tion. As conchological executor of Dr. Gould, his family gave me 

 his MS. I kept this of North Pacific Expedition in my fireproof till 

 Stimpson begged me to send it to him at Chicago, where it was 

 burnt. — TF. G. Binney. 



Eds. Nautilus : I notice in Mr. Simpson's article on the revision 

 of the American Unionidse that he believes that not a soul of those 

 of whom he gives a list as collectors in Lea's time remains living. 

 I can say for one that Moores is still living and has been for the 

 past eighty years and five months. — H. Moores, Columbus, Ohio. 



A new species of Ennea has been dedicated to Kev. A. B, 

 Kendig, of Brooklyn, N. Y. — E. Kendiglana Rolle, described in the

 hlatt. It is from Senegambia. 



A Reprint of the " Conchologists Exchange." Many sub- 

 scribers to The Nautilus desire to obtain the ' Conchologists 

 Exchange,^ but are unable to do so because it is out of jirint. The 

 proprietors of The Nautilus have been requested to reprint the 

 Exchange; and if a sufficient number of orders for the reprint can 

 be obtained to pay the cost of it, they purpose to issue it in the same 

 form as the present journal, indicating the original pagination. The 

 cost of the reprint will be 75 cents for the two volumes. Those who 

 wish to secure them should address the manager of The Nautilus. 



Mr. Hedley wishes it to be noted that he now regards the shell, 

 jointly figured and described (P.L.S.N.S.W. (2), vi, p. 558) by Mr. 

 Musson and himself under the name of Pupa anodonta, as a second 

 species of the genus Heterocyclus, instituted by Crosse (Journ. de 

 Conch., Vol. XX, 1872, p. 156) for the reception of H. perroquini 

 Crosse, from New Caledonia. This genus is considered by Fischer 

 (Manual de Conchyliologie, p. 735) equivalent to Lyogyrus, a 

 member of the Valvatidce. 



Part 1, of Vol. XV, of the Trans. Royal Soc. of South Australia,
