A comparison of these two lists alone indicates that while 

 Long Island possesses a larger number of marine forms, as 

 might be expected from its more extensive coast line, Staten 

 Island is richer by five species in freshwater and terrestrial 

 forms, which is somewhat surprising in view of our more limited 

 area and fewer ponds and streams. This comparison, however, 

 does not set forth the full extent of this interesting fact, inas- 

 much as four other species from our island, included in the 

 " Catalogue of the Binney and Bland Collection, etc." (Bull. 

 Am. Mus. Nat. Hist. 14: 335-403. 1901. Reviewed in Proc. 

 Nat. Sci. Assn. S. I. 9: 7, 8. 1904) are not included in this 

 list. Mr. William T. Davis has reported also the local 

 occurrence of Ancylus rivularis Say (Proc. Nat. Sci. Assn. S. I. 

 5: 19. 1896) which is not listed by Mr. Wheat. The most 

 reasonable explanation of this phenomenon would appear to be, 

 not that Long Island is lacking in these forms, but that we have 

 been able to search our smaller island more thoroughly.
