NOTES AND NEWS. 
TROCHOMORPHA FUSCATA Pease. This species was listed in 
Man. Conch. (2), IX, but, so far as I know, no description has ap- 
peared. It is allied to nigritella and contigua, but the umbilicus is 
smaller than either (one-eleventh to one-twelfth diam. of base) ; 
spire slightly-convex conic, the apex much more pointed than in 
contiqgua; base flattened as in contigua. Alt. 83, diam. 113 mm. 
Color uniform blackish-brown, or clear honey-yellow. It is from 
Ponape, or Ascension Island, near the Caroline group. 
CALIFORNIA SiuGs.—Mr. Edw. M. Ehrhorn has lately sent me 
some slugs from California, which may as well be put on record. A 
box from Mountain View contained a number of Amalia gagates 
(syn. hewstoni) and one Agriolimax campestris, both, in my opinion, 
native species. A lot from San Jose, Sta. Clara Co., consisted 
wholly of introduced species, namely, Agriolimax agrestis, heavily 
mottled forms, and Limax maximus, young and old. The three 
adult L. maximus in the box were all different, one being of the 
form marmoratus Ckll., one moquini Ckll., and the other an ill- 
defined form nearest to czernaevii Kal. These forms are like those 
which occur commonly in the southeast of England.

SHELLs or THUNDERHEAD Mr1., N. C.—I went to Thunderhead 
again last June, and I found two more specimens of Gastrodonta 
patuloides Pils., and more of the other new forms I had taken the 
year before [see Nauritus, p. 14]. I found, this time, what I think 
is a banded form of Mesodon andrewsi W.G.B. I have never seen 
this variety before. A few of the long-looked for Mes. christyi were 
found also, but they are very rare. 
—Mrs. Gro. ANDREWS, in letter.
