Copreetion. 



In the April number of the Journal an unfortunate error crept into Mr. 

 G. K. Gude's paper. On page 13, under Charopa ochracea, n. sp., the 

 eighth line should read 



Diani. 2.5 millim. ; alt i. 

 and not alt. 8 as printed.

 Philadelphia : Academy of Natural Sciences. 

 The present part continues the account of the AchatUiidac. Under Archadiatitia 

 a new variety of A. rhodostonia (Phil.), v. spleiidida is descrilied and v. adelinac, nov. 

 of A. papyracea (Pfr.), both from West Africa. The following genera are then 

 dealt with : Coliiinua, Perry, CaUistopIcpa, Ancey, Homoriis, Albers, under the sub-genus 

 Siibiiloiia, Marts^ of the last-mentioned genus H. pattalus is a new species from Cape 

 Palmas, Liberia, also H. opcas. Then follow accounts of the genera Ceras, Dup. and 

 Putz., Pscitdoglcssiila, Boettg., Cliilonopsis, F. de Waldh. (and the sub-genus Clcoslyln, 

 Dall), Trichodina, Ancey, with T. aratispira a new species from Liberia (?), the p.nt

The actual number of specimens identified in this collection is thirteen, of which 



the prize is undoubtedly a specimen of A ncisirochints lesticiiri, which was found floating 



on the surface. One new species is described. Polypus gardineri. 



Bloomer, H. H.— On the Anatomy of certain species of Siliqua and Ensis. Proc. 

 Malac. Soc. Lond., 1905, vol, vi, pp. 173 — 196, pi. xii. 

 Mr. Bloomer describes the anatomy of Siliqua pcxiula (Dixon), from which S.costata 

 (.Say) differs only in certain points in the shell. Ensis dtrcctus (Conrad), he finds 

 closely resembles E. ensis, as does also E. iiiinor, Dall.

 From St. Andrews, N.B., the author has received specimens of a well marked 

 \:uiety (arborescciis, n. var.) of Hero formosa, which possibly may merit specific rank. 

 The other species, Siaiiroihris iiiacidata (Garst.l, is from Plymouth. Possibly this is 

 von Ihering's St. pseiido7'crriicosa, from Naples, and the Doris cnbalia of Fischer, from 

 .■\rcachon, the young of this species.
