 observation and study. 



The typography of the volume is particularly agreeable. 

 The work deserves and will doubtless have a wide circulation.

NOTES. 



Colorado Mollusk Notes. — The latest find in Colorado is a 

 fine specimen of Limax maximus L., found out-of-doors by D. 

 M. Andrews, the well-known botanist, in one of his nurseries 

 at Boulder, under a board. As he has imported some plants 

 from France, it is possible that it came from there. 



Several years ago a few Lymnsea auricularia (L. ) were re- 

 ported from Colorado Springs. Lately G. B. Warner sent me 

 about 200 dead shells of that species found by him on the shore 

 of Dotson Reservoir near Fowler, which is in the same drainage 

 basin as Colorado Springs. 



Lymnsea hendersoiii Baker, therefore known only from the 

 type locality west of Fort Collins, has beeii found by Dr. M. M. 

 Ellis in a small pool west of Louisville. Like the one at the 

 type locality, the pool contains water during only a few months 

 each year. — Junius Henderson. 



ViviPARUS CONTECTOIDES LiMi, new name for V. c. compactus 

 Pils. , Nautilus, Vol. 30, p. 42. Dr. Walker has kindly called 

 my attention to the prior use of covipactus in Viviparus (Kobelt, 

 Syst. Conch. Cab., Vivipara, p. 113, 1906), and the name is 

 accordingly changed. — H. A. Pilsbry. 



Commandant Paul Dupuis, of the Belgian Army, and well 

 known to malacologists for his useful papers upon the shells of 

 the Belgian Congo, having been severely wounded, has been 

 transferred to the garrison of Paris, where he is employing 

 leisure time in zoological studies, particularly upon the chitons.
