THE NAUTILUS. 101 
“half and half” for convenience. The lower half of the body whorl 
was light colored, the upper dark. 
Upon Clingman the habits seem to change. The mountain is coy- 
ered with balsam and the moss is very deep, and as this mountain is 
the highest of the group the clouds hang about the peak continually. 
Here the red Andrews was active, sometimes in the grass, which 
erows as high as one’s head, and sometimes two or more were upon the 
roof of large rocks, in company with a light colored form and Ferrissi’. 
But only one Ferrissié was found under a rock at a time, and the last 
whorl was much larger than those upon Mirey Ridge. 
The next trip I went alone with some deer hunters about forty 
miles to the south into the Unaka range. Tarrying at the Little Ten- 
nessee [ found Poly. pustuloides Bld., Gastro. significans and a beauti- 
ful form of depressed Omphalina Zevigata. In color the latter had 
that peculiar blue of the Campelomas, and it was 25 mm. in width. I 
also found Unio regularis, Lea, in the river, and of ferns I found the 
incisum form of Asplenium trichomanes heretofore found only in San 
Diego, Cal., and Vermont. 
Upon the deer hunt we left our tent, coats and blankets behind and 
carried cooking utensils, corn meal and bacon upon our own backs. We 
slept under sheds large enough for a fire made of hemlock bark on the 
spot. The fire was needed every night. We slept on bark, good bark. 
Alone and so far away, among bears, rattlesnakes and strangers, I felt 
timid and did not get many snails, but L know it will be good ground ° 
for next year. The snail hulls, as they cail them in Tennessee, were 
very large. One of my Chi/howeensis measured 40 win.; a Poly. An- 
drewsx, 39; Wheatley’, 24; Palliata and an Omphalina subplana, 
25 each. I also found the rose-colored variety of albolabris upon the 
hillsides, colored through and through and shining like a piece of 
china. It measured about 20 mm. 
When Mr. Pilsbry’s report comes in I may send THE NAUTILUS a 
list of the snails found upon the Smokies by Mrs. Andrews, Mr. Clapp 
and myself.

Vitrea rhoadsi,n, sp. Similar to V.indentata, but differing from that 
species in the distinct umbilicus, about one-half mm. wide, showing the 
penultimate whorl within ; radial grooves more numerous, and there- 
fore closer. The same characters, and the smaller size, separate
