Bcrnicc P. Bishof' Museum — HuUctin 



"A trip to the eastern end of the Waianae Mountains by Miss N'eal and myself, 

 made possible by the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Von Holt, yielded quite a large 

 number of shells. We were fortunate in finding specimens of Lcptachaliiia oml>ha- 

 lodcs. Only four specimens of this species had even been taken, two of which are 

 unfortunately lost, the remaining two coming to our Museutai in the Ancey col- 

 lection. About 60 specimens of this extremely interesting and rare species were 

 collected, all of thetn dead ; but with the clue to their habitat living specimens may 

 l)e expected to be found." 



On Kauai several new fossil beds were found, and pro!)abIy one of the most 

 important results of the trip was the rediscovery of Carelia cochlea. 



Mr. A. Gouveia has found on the island of Hawaii living examples of Amastra 

 pagodula, a species which had formerly been known only as a fossil. 



Among the uncatalogued material in the Museum is a very sttiall but important 

 collection from the Austral Islands, received through John F. G. Stokes of the 

 Bayard Dominick Expedition. Among the specimens is what is probably a type 

 species of the genus Microcystis. As a number of our Hawaiian Zonitidae were 

 formerly placed in this genus and later separated by Skyes into tlie genus Philonesia, 

 the relationship of our Hawaiian forms to the central Pacific genus can now be 

 accurately determined. Interesting specimens of Tornatellinidac were also collected 

 on Rapa. 



The most valuable uncatalogued acquisition is the Baldwin collection obtained 

 by purchase. For a number of years Mr. D. D. Baldwin was an authority on Ha- 

 waiian shells and contributed a few papers describing a number of species. His 

 collection contains paratypes of nearly all his species and his identification of the 

 species of other authors. 



Other uncatalogued material has been received from Miss A. M. Alexander 

 (Maui), Stanley C. Ball and Charles H. Edmondson (Molokai, Fanning Islands).
