(ie THE NAUTILUS. 
Besides dredging comes the collecting of fine Lunatia lewisi, 
Fissuridea aspersa, Acme pelta var. hybrida, Acmea pelta var. nacel- 
loides, Diplodonta orbella and nests; Lacuna carinata and two finds 
of over 150 Terebratella transversa. Then dead specimens, in good 
condition, of Oadulus fusiformis, Parthenia armata, Rissoina in- 
frequens, Felania sericata, with quantities of rich drift, not yet 
sorted, which doubtless contains many rare specimens new to my 
cabinet. 
GENERAL NOTES. 
Mr. Cuarves W. Jonnsron left Philadelphia, September 24, for 
an extended geological trip in the Eocene regions of Louisiana and 
Texas. 
Dr. Wo. H. Datu has published a resumé of the results of his 
systematic studies on Mactride and Mesodesmatide in the last num- 
ber of the Proc. Malacological Society of London. 
Pror. Girperrt D. Harris has been spending some time in 
Philadelphia studying and remounting Lea’s type collection of 
Claiborne Eocene fossils. 
ACANTHOCHITES MATTHEWS! Bednall & Pilsbry, described in THE 
Navutiuus for February, 1894, from “South Australia,” was found 
by me in St. Vincent’s Gulf at Giles’ Point, south Yorke’s Penin- 
sula, at an unusually low tide-—E. H. Matthews. 
EPIPHRAGMOPHORA CALIFORNIENSIS VAR. CONTRACOSTA:. — 
Smaller than var. diabloensis, but of the same depressed form ; light 
yellowish straw-colored, with or without a dark band; surface 
rudely striate and cut by irregular spirals into small granules ; not 
malleated or slightly so. Whorls 53; outer lip thickened, hardly 
expanded, white, basal lip expanded and a trifle impinging on um- 
bilicus, which is deep and rather widely open, somewhat as in Poly- 
gyra kiawaensis. Locality, Byron Hot Springs, Contra Costa Co., 
California.— Pilsbry. 
ErrepHRAGMOPHORA REMONDI Tryon.—This species is, as Cooper 
and von Martens have lately recognized, quite distinct from carpen- 
teri. Ancey’s H. verrilli (Conch. Exch.) is a synonyn of Tryon’s 
species, Ancey having been misled by the misidentification of 
Rémondi, which has prevailed since the publication by Gabb of his 
Lower California finds.—Pilsbry.
