THE NAUTILUS. 35 
The Mesodon albolabris, from Eureka Springs, are pronounced by 
Wetherby to be a very distinct variety. He has also described the 
two other varieties from the same place, and the exoletus minor 
from there are said by Mr. Binney to be “ very curious.” 
The kiowaensis variety, arkansensis, lately described in the NAv- 
TILUs, were collected by Mr. R. A. Blair, near Hot Springs. 
The Goniobases were generally very plenty where found at all, 
and in other streams near by there were none. I have them from 
many streams. The G. crandalli was collected at Mammoth 
Spring, and described in the Proceedings of the Philadelphia Acad- 
emy of Sciences. 
NOTE ON ENDODONTA (Flammulina) INFUNDIBULUM Hombr. & Jacq. 
BY CHARLES HEDLEY, AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM, SIDNEY, N. 8S. WALES. 
In the “ Reference List of the Land and Fresh-water Mollusca of 
New Zealand” by Mr. H. Suter and myself, the species named above 
was placed under Flammulina crebriflammis Pfr. as a synonym. 
Tryon and Pfeiffer, whom we followed in this course, were certainly 
wrong in connecting infundibulum with crebriflammis (Mon. Hel. 
Viv. iii, p. 148, etc.). H. infundibulum was described from Vavas, 
Tonga Is., and appears to be a small variety of Gradata Gould. It 
was omitted from Mousson’s Tongan list. 
NOTES AND NEWS. 
Rey. Dr. A. Dean has removed from Muncy, Pa., to Fort Lee, 
N. J., on the Hudson, above New York City. The best wishes of 
many brother Conchologists go with him to his new home on the 
Palisades. 
AN interesting paper on the shells collected by the Death Valley 
Expedition, by Dr. R. E. C. Stearns, has appeared in the “ North 
American Fauna” series, published by the U.S. Dept. of Agricul- 
ture. Some pages are given to the discussion of the Tryonias, which 
were collected alive by Dr. Merriam in a hot spring in Pahranagat 
Valley, Nevada. The “Tryonia” protea is shown to intergrade per- 
fectly with the smooth form which Frauenfeld called Hydrobia see- 
mani. Itis a species of Bythinella. Stearns retains Tryonia clath- 
rata distinct, as he has seen no examples connecting with protea. 
Several species of Amnicolids are described and figured, and valu-
