142 THE NAUTILUS. 
Huntington, L. Isl. (S. Smith). It is locally common in the 
marshes along the New Jersey coast.—C. W. JOHNSON. 
FASCIOLARIA PAPILLOSA SOWERBY. In regard to my reference 
to this species in the October Nautitus, p. 45, Mr. J. R. LeB. 
Tomlin says: ‘‘ J have the Tankerville catalogue before me and 
on p. xvi of its Appendix I find: 1552, Fasciolaria papillosa. 
F. testa fusiformi, apice papillosa, anfractibus transverse stri- 
atis, mediane nodosis; apertura intus laevis; cauda longa, long. 
Sz, lat. 1,2, une. 
‘‘Tt is not figured nor is any locality given.’’ It may possi- 
bly be a young F. gigantea but from the above moe: it 
seems unrecognizable.—C. W. JOHNSON. 
PHYSA SMITHIANA new name for Puysa smirHit.—Dr. Bryant 
Walker has kindly called my attention to the fact that the 
name Physa smithii used in my paper ‘‘ Fresh-water Mollusca 
from Colorado and Alberta’’ (Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 
XLI, p. 585) is preoccupied by Clessin (Conch. Cab., Plan- 
orbis, p. 294) for a Physa smithii from Australia. I therefore 
change the name to Physa smithiana.—FRANK C. Baker, Uni- 
versity of Illinois. 
An AMENDMENT.—In the January number of the NaurtiLus, 
on page 103, I inadvertently omitted from the list of Simpson’s 
catch of Unionide at Lodgepole Creek, Anodontoides ferussacianus 
Lea. The omission makes the next sentence unintelligible or 
misleading, according to the interpretation placed upon it by 
the reader.—JuNIUuS HENDERSON.

(Carnegie Institution of Washington, 1920). It is well known

acters by which we can distinguish its members from those of 
other colonies. The question arises, are the forms in the var-
