remarks on their synonyms and geographical 
range,’ and several other papers. 
In conclusion I would state that I am glad to 
have known Mr. Garrett, and to have had him 
for a neighbor for nearly seven years. The 
man was an interesting study in himself. He 
was self-taught in every sense of the word, and 
his ability and achievements were wonderful 
and most striking. Outside his own special 
study, Conchology, he was deeply read in kin- 
dred subjects, and no branch of natural history 
seems to have been overlooked |. He was very 
unpretentious, and no one from casual observa- 
tion would imagine him to be a savazit.

Notes on the Strepomatidz of Mlinois. 
HINKLEY, DU BOIS, ILL. 
Having collected shells of this family in 
different parts of the State, a few notes of those 
that have come under my observation may be 
of interest to some of the readers of THe 
CoNncHoLocists’ EXCHANGE. Although this 
is an extensive family, and offers a wide field 
for research and observation, comparatively 
few collectors take much interest in them. 
Probably this is owing to the want of good 
works on the subject, and the difficulty of ob- 
taining the Southern forms. 
Considering species found in the Wabash 
river, White Co., Ill. as belonging to the 
State, I have of the family four genera and 
fourteen species. 
Genus Angitrema, Haldeman. 
A. arvniigera, Say. 
Shell with a prominent row of knobs encir- 
cling the body-whorl, plain or banded; habi- 
tat, Wabash river. [ found this species rather 
unexpectedly in a still pool formed by a log 
which had drifted so as to turn the current, 
associated with A. verrucosa, and attached to 
small pieces of drift-wood, or crawling about 
on the mud. But few specimens were found 
of each. I have since been intormed that 
they are plentiful lower down the stream near 
Wabash Station, on the L. & N. R.R. 
A. verrucosa, laf. 
Shell with several rows of small tubercles. 
Most of the specimens taken were young, and 
do not exhibit the tubercles as plain as the full 
grown ones; some are inclined to be purple 
within the aperture and on the columella. 
Subgenus Lithasia, Haldeman, 
Ihe obovata, Say. 
Sheil plain, some faintly banded, all are 
truncate, two to four whorls remaining, Habi- 
tat, Saline and Little Wabash rivers. The 
young or half-grown shells answer very well to 
Mr. Say’s description, but the mature ones pre- 
sent considerable difference. I cannot see that
