Large |specimens described b}^ Conrad as O. contracta were 

 from "Oyster Point, near Mier, Tex." Other localities for the 

 same are : Rio Grande at Carrizo, above Roma, 15 mis below 

 Carrizo and at Campbellton, Atascosa Co. ; Oj^ster Bluff, 

 Brazos River, Milam Co., 2 mis above the mouth of Pond Cr. 

 South Fork of Hurricane Cr. 



Louisiana : Sabine River, near Columbus as in nearby K. 

 Tex. ; 3 mis S. E. of Negreet ; in form of cast 2 mis N. of 

 Plaindealing. 



Alabama : Claiborne, Gosport, Eisbon, Hamilton Bluff. 



Georgia : Grovetown, Shell Bluff. 



South Carolina : Rocky Swamp, Orangeburg Dist. 



North Carolina : very abundant on the Neuse and Trent 

 Rivers. See especially exposure near R. R. bridge at Pollocks- 

 ville. 



The localities mentioned above are those from which we 

 have personall}^ identified this form. Various authors, especial- 

 ly Dall, have mentioned this species (under the name of 

 georgiana) as having a wide Oligocene distribution in Florida, as 

 the ''kit fossil" of the Grand Gulf (See Trans. Wag. Free Inst. 

 Sci., vol. 3, p. 685, &c). We cannot speak with authority on 

 the wide geologic range here suggested.
