of marine shells. Professor Bryan, who had before been chiefly 

 known for his work on birds, added the mollusks to his other 

 interests, and together, on many an island collecting trip, they 

 amassed the largest collection of Hawaiian marine shells yet 

 brought together. 



For several years she had served as librarian of the College 

 of Hawaii, a congenial task bringing many young people under 

 her influence. 



In 1917-18 Professor and Mrs. Bryan traveled in California 

 and the East, spending several months at the Academy of 

 Natural Sciences in studying Hawaiian shells. For the same 

 purpose the museums of Cambridge and Washington were also 

 visited. 



Mrs. Bryan's gracious personality and sunny outlook, no 

 less than the genuine love of nature which determined the 

 course of her life, made her many warm friends who mourn her 

 untimely death. H. A. P. 



Dr. Herbert Huntington Smith, Curator at the Museum of 

 the University of Alabama, was killed by a train on March 22. 

 A notice of his life and work will appear later. 



NOTES. 



The Introduction of Acanthinula harpa (Say) and Circi- 



NARIA VANCOUVERENSIS (Lea) INTO St. PaUL IsLAND, AlASKA. 



— In order that there may be a definite record of the introduc- 

 tion of these two species by man into St. Paul Island, I wish to 

 state that I placed about ten specimens of each of these species 

 behind the laboratories on St. Paul Island, of the Pribiloff 

 Group, in June, 1916. It may also be well to note that I was 

 unable to find any trace of these in 1918. This, of course, 

 does not mean that they may not still be in existence there. —
