60 THE NAUTILUS. 
MARYLAND SHELLS.—In the Nauriius, Vol. X, p. 23, you men- 
tion some shells not before recorded from Maryland, inter alia, H. 
intertexta Binn. I find, however, this is recorded from that State by 
Binney in his Terr. Moll. U.S., I, p. 207—G. K. Gude. 
Messrs SimpsoN AND WALKER have been making a vacation 
journey in North Carolina and Georgia. They report the rivers too 
high for successful clamming. 
Me. E. G. Vanatta is spending the summer at Chestertown, Md. 
NEW PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 
Mr. G. K. Gupe describes a new Corasia from Luzon, C. laure, 
in Science Gossip for August. It is a pale-blue shell, another of the 
beautiful H.regine group. The following Philippine and Marianne 
Island Helices are figured: Ganesella catocyrta, G. apex with var. 
apiculata, Endodonta quadrasi, Charopa fusca and Trochomorpha 
boettgeri Mildff. & Quadras; also Pyramidula omalisma “ Bgt.” 
Fagot, from near Barcelona, Spain. These species have not hitherto 
been figured. 
I. A Revision AND SyNONYMY OF THE PARvus GROUP OF 
Untonrp®. II. Seconp ContrrisuTion 1o A KNOWLEDGE OF 
Inprana Motuusca. IIL. Inprana Univ. Brow. Sra. Report on 
Mo.uusca (From Proc. Indiana Acad. Science for 1895). By R. 
Ellsworth Call. In the Unio parvus group, Professor Call recog- 
nizes four species: U. parvus, U. texasensis, U. glans, U. amygdalum. 
Alleged synonyms of U. parvus are: U. paulus, minor, marginis, 
corvinus, vesicularis of Lea and U. singleyanus Marsh. From this 
extraordinary synonymy it will be seen that our author belongs to 
the extreme “lumper” class. Some other points in the paper are 
equally ill-taken, but it is not worth while to criticise in detail where 
nearly everything is wrong. Six plates of characteristic, though 
rather crude figures, illustrate the forms. 
The second and third papers continue Prof. Call’s very praise- 
worthy efforts to record the distribution and variations of Indiana 
Mollusks, and do not admit of abstract here; but those interested in 
the detailed mapping of the areas of our species will be grateful for 
Call’s good work in this field, as well as for the similar service he 
did in cataloguing Kansas shells.
