GENERAL NOTES. 
STATION OF LiMN#&aA GRACcILIS —By a curious blunder. Reed's 
Lake was said to be near Detroit instead of Grand Rapids, Mich., 
in the February NavtiLus, page 1109. i 
Canon A. M. Norman, in the ‘‘Annals and Magazine of 
Natural History,’’ for January, 1899 (page 79), gives an interest- 
ing account of two recent specimens of the gigantic Madeiran 
Helix Lowei Fer. This species, which attains a diameter of up- 
wards of 2 inches, is not uncommon in the calcareous beds of Porto 
Santo, but only two recent specimens are known: one collected by 
Sr. J. M. Moniz some years ago, the other recently acquired by 
Canon Norman, formerly in the collection of the late Baron von 
Maltzan. 
_CONULUS CHERSINUS var. DENTATUS.—The toothed form of 
Conulus was first noticed by Mr. W. G. Binney (Man. Amer. Land 
Shells, p. 69). A note on the dentition of Conulus by Dr. V. 
Sterki will be found in Nautitus VI, p. 10v.
