Dr. C. M. Cooke, Jr., Curator of Pulmonata, reports as follows: 
‘For the year 1914 your Curator can report progress. ‘This 
has been an exceedingly profitable and busy year, and more speci- 
mens have been catalogued than in any previous year. 
“Sixty-eight thousand nine hundred and fifteen (68,915) 
specimens were catalogued, distributed over two thousand nine 
hundred and ninety-four (2994) catalogue numbers. ‘There are 
at present in the Museum five collections (acquired either by gift 
or purchase) which are uncatalogued containing between fifty and 
seventy-five thousand shells belonging for the greater part to the 
genera Achatinella and Amastra. 
‘Two trips to Molokai and one to Kauai were taken during 
the year and a great deal of valuable material was collected. On 
both of these islands particular attention was paid to fossil beds. 
Eight new beds were discovered on Kauai, two of which were in 
districts from which no material had previously been reported. 
A portion of the large collections of fossils made by Mr. Stokes at 
Koloa, Kauai, and on Niihau were catalogued during the year. 
The fossils from Niihau were especially interesting and show a 
very close relationship to those on Kauai. ‘The fossils collected 
on Kahoolawe by Dr. Pilsbry, Messrs. Stokes and Forbes and your 
Curator were also catalogued, and a number of new species found 
among them, especially in the genus Leptachatina. ‘There are in 
the Museum at present between twenty and thirty lots of material, 
from as many different fossil beds, which are uncatalogued. Some
