94 THE NAUTILUS. 
ConcHOLOGY IN THE KLonpdYKE.—The following extract from a 
. letter just receivéd from Mr. P. B. Randolph, of Seattle, Wash., 
who is now in the Klondyke, may be of interest to readers of the 
Navtitus. Mr. Randolph left Seattle on July 31st of last year, 
and was 28 days in reaching Dawson City. He writes: “On my 
way in I collected a number of the smaller land and fresh water 
shells of the coast region at Dyea, on the ocean’side of the mount- 
ains, and at Lake Linderman on the Yukon water shed. They 
consisted, on the Dyea side, of Patula pauper, Conulus fulvus, Ver- 
tigo ovata (?) ; on Lake Linderman of the same with Vitrina sp., 
Limnea two speciesand Valvata sincera (?). 
“ At Duncan’s Island, on the trip up, I collected a number of 
Selenites vancouverensis and Mesodon townsendiana. I found two 
dead shells here (Dawson City) of Succinea sp., and hope to find 
specimens when the snow melts, though the fires ran through this 
country last year completely destroying the undergrowth and moss.” 
—Geo. H. Clapp. 
Sometime ago Mrs. Mary P. Olney of Spokane, Washington, sent 
to me a small lot of Pyramidula strigosa Gld. and young taken from 
the oviducts of some found in Rathdrum, Idaho. In reply to my 
inquiry about them she writes: “I had cleaned several hundred 
strigosa and never found but one specimen with young, until a lot 
of fifty from which these came, and which contained from 6 to 15 
each.—S. Raymond Roberts. 
A specimen of Unio complanatus Sol. (dead shell, but good and 
rather large), has recently been found at New Philadelphia, Ohio, 
in a mill race on the Tuscarawas River, Obio River drainage. 
Probably the species has spread from Lake Erie by way of the Ohio 
Canal over the divide.—Dr. V. Sterki. 
List oF A COLLECTION OF SHELLS FROM THE GULF OF ADEN, 
by W. H. Dall (Field Columbian Museum Pub., No. 26). A brief 
list of shells collected by the well known ornithologist D. G. Elliot. 
There are numerous typographical errors such as Nerita “ albicola,” 
Trochus “ saya,” Turritella ‘‘torutosa,” etc., ete., and two Olivas are 
put in the Trochide. The value of the list hardly warrants the pre- 
tentious style of publication, but as it was published, it would have 
been better had the proof been submitted to the author for cor- 
rection, for, of course, the blunders are not Dall’s.
