costata in one of the cafions—represented by one example. In the 
same bulletin Dr. Cooper adds additional notes, and he lists V. pul- 
chella at Donner Lake and near Truckee, both in Navada County, 
California. Of the presence of this species in Oakland, probably 
Mr. Button could supply more data—M. Burton WILLIAMSON. 
NOMENCLATURE OF SOME AFRICAN LAND SHELLs.— When study- 
ing the African mollusks, I remarked that the name Ennea micro- 
stoma Smith, proposed for an African species, already is preoccupied 
by Mollendorff for a Chinese species. Hence I should propose to 
eall the former E. strictilabris; also Vertigo thaumasta Melvill & 
Ponsonby is the same as JV. sinistrorsa Craven ; also Hapalus is pre- 
occupied in entomology, and must be called Curvel/a Chaper ; also 
Faula preoccupied in Coleoptera, must be relegated to the synonymy 
of Faurulus, Schaufuss.—C. F. ANCEY. 
IscHNOCHITON ONISCcUS.—The words “ lateral” and ‘ median ” 
were transposed in line 2, p. 42 of the August number, in describing 
this species.

REVISION OF THE MARINE GASTROPODS REFERRED TO CyCLos- 
TREMA, ADEORBIS, VITRINELLA and related genera, with descrip- 
tions of some new genera and species belonging to the Atlantic, 
Fauna of America, by Katharine Jeannette Bush (Trans. Con- 
necticut Academy, x). An attempt to define and limit these difficult 
groups by determining their type species, which are mostly figured, 
and enumerating the Atlantic coast species. Several described 
groups, such as Callomphalus Ad. & Ang. are omitted, and the 
details of dentition are rather scanty and insufficiently illustrated, but 
the paper is sufficiently complete to be of very great assistance to 
those who in future work upon these genera. The new genera 
Lissospira Leptogyra, Mélleriopsis, Choristella, Cyclostremella are 
established.
