Lieut. Green having been obliged to pack up his collection and leave home 
on professional duty, I was not able to make any critical examination of it, 
Capt. Dupont also, of Delaware, was one of the “‘ Mexican-war naturalists,’ 
and made a large collection of La Paz shells during his campaign ; but I had 
no opportunity of seeing them. 
Dr. Gould notes the following corrections in Lieut. Green’s list, pp. 231- 
234 :— 
Semele flavicans should be flavescens. | Donax abruptus should he obesus, 
50. Kellett and Wood.—The locality-marks, on further study, display still 
greater inaccuracies. 
Nassa Woodwardii, Fbs., Sandwich Islands [is the adolescent state of a very abun- 
dant Vancouver and Californian shell,=N. mendica, Gld.}. 
Nassa Cooperi, Fbs., Sandwich Islands. [The type is immature and in poor con- 
dition; but it is a rare Californian species, since found by Dr. Cooper) 
Trochita spirata [has not been confirmed from Gulf Cal., but appears in Brit. Mus. 
from St. Vincent, Cape Verd Is., on the excellent authority of Macgillivray, who 
did not visit the West Coast. The Cumingian specimens were from K. and W.; 
but the “ spirata, var.,” from Magellan and Peru, are simply turrited forms of 7. 
radians |. 
ee ae aureotincta [=C. nigerrima (Gmel.), Mus. Cum. ; but it is unlikely 
that Gmelin knew the species. It is not quoted by Desh. (Lam. ix. 157): but 
the Trochus in fauce nigerrimus, Chemn. f. 1526, = 7. melanostomus, Gmel., is a 
Risella. 
Margarit purpurata et Hillii [are South American shells}. 
Purpura anadloga [is the rough irregular form of P. canaliculata=decemeostata]. 
»  fuscata, Fbs. [of which one brown and one whitish specimen (immature) 
are preserved in the Brit. Mus. as types, is the large, smooth, rather elevated var. 
of saaicola. It belongs to the Vancouver district. 
Purpura, like decem-costatus and Freycinetii [is the normal state of saxicola, The 
banded smooth var. is named in Brit. Mus. “? Bue. striatum, Martyn, Un. 
Conch. no. 7,” but does not agree with the figure]. 
Fusus Kellettit. [This Stphonalia, after long remaining unique in the Brit. Mus. 
Col., has been twice confirmed from the San Diegan district by the Smithsonian 
collectors. Dr. Cooper’s living specimen is 6:25 in. long; and one specimen 
was dredged by A. Ad. in the seas of South Japan. | 
51. Reigen.—The type collection, presented to the Brit. Mus., contains 
about 8900 specimens. The first duplicate series, containing about 6000 
shells, was presented to the State of New York at the urgent request of 
Dr. Newcomb (well known for his researches in Achatinella, made during his 
professional residence in the Sandwich Islands), and is arranged in the Albany 
Museum. Three other typical series were prepared for the Museums of 
Paris, Berlin, and St. Petersburg, and offered on the same terms, viz. that 
they should be arranged by the author, and preserved intact for the free use 
{ Dead shells at La Paz; two fresh specimens in deep water from San Jose; ditto, 
Lieut. Green.
