Mr. Linsley detected many animals in Connecticut belonging 

 to the classes Crustacea and Annelida, of which, to our regret, 

 he has left no catalogue, but merely pencilings among his records. 

 Some few species of Helices, found by Dr. Skilton in Troy, 

 N. Y., he also considered inhabitants of our state ; but as there 

 appeared to be uncertain data, they are omitted in the preceding 

 list. E. L. L. 



Elmwood Place, Stratford, October 5, 1844. 



*283. This beautiful little shell I have in my cabinet. It seems 

 to be the first specimen of its genus or its family found on our 

 shores. Dr. Gould in his Report, p. 317, remarks, " of the very 

 curious and minute .Nautilacea, so many of which have been 

 found about the British islands, there are doubtless many among 

 the sands of our shores ; but none have as yet been detected." 

 My specimen is about -^jj of an inch in length ; found at Stonington on the roots 

 of kelp. 



*288. I sent a specimen of this species, found in Stratford, to Dr. Storer, who 

 forwarded it to Philadelphia, a description of which subsequently appeared in the 

 Journal of the Academy of Natural Sciences.
