Types seeu, but of which we did not have specimens, were: 

 Endodonta capillata Pse., E. paucicostata Pse., Nesopupa striatula 

 Pse., and Carelia variabilis Pse. 



The types of some of Pease's species could not be found. It is 

 possible that a number of the following are lost : Endodonta dis- 

 tans Pse., Pterodiscus depressiformis Pse., P. prostrata Pse., Neso- 

 pupa bacca Pse., N. costata Pse., Eeptachatina antiqua Pse., E. 

 brevicula Pse., L. compacta Pse., L. costulosa Pse., E. extensa 

 Pse., E. lucida Pse., E. tenuicostata Pse., Carelia adusta var. an- 

 gulata Pse., Auriculella uniplicata Pse., Succinea rubella Pse., 

 S. rubida Pse., Einmaea ambigua Pse., E. compacta Pse., E. tur- 

 gidula Pse., Melania contigua Pse., M. kauaiensis Pse., and Neri- 

 tiua ueglecta Pse. Fortunately authentic specimens of a number 

 of these were found in the collections of other museums. 



Of Gulick's species we had the following : Eeptachatina 

 fumida GuL, E. fuscula Gul., E. gummea GuL, E. lachrima GuE, 

 E. lagena Gul., E. leucochlia GuL, E. petila Gul., E. stiria GuE, 

 E. vitreola Gul., and Auriculella perpusilla Smith (the type and 

 onl}- specimen in the colledlion being unfortunately broken). 



The species not represented in our collection were : Eepta- 

 chatina costulata Gul., E. exilis Gul., E. fragilis Gld., E. margi- 

 nata Gul., E. octogyrata Gul., E. parvula Gul., E. resinula Gul., 

 E. saxatilis Gul., E. striatella Gul., E. subula Gul., E. terebralis 

 Gul., E. triticea Gul., and E- turrita Gul. 



The next trip was to Ithaca to see the colle(5lion of Newcomb 

 in the museum of Cornell University. The shells in this collection 

 agree closely with his types in the British Museum. Unfortunately 

 a few of Newcomb 's own species are not in his colledtion. Eepta- 

 chatina striata Newc. could not be found. The type of this species 

 was probably in the California Academy, and, if so, is lost. 



Albany was next visited to study Gould's collection in the 

 New York State Museum of Natural Hi.story. The following spe-
