1. Observations on the Genus Unio, together with descriptions 

 of new genera and species in the Families, Naiades, Conchcc, 

 Colimacea, Lymmeana, Melaniana and Peristomiana, with colored 

 plates; by Isaac Lea. — The present splendid memoir is intended 

 to conclude the series, which, in 1827 began to appear in the 

 Transactions of the American Philosophical Society. Its contents 

 sufficiently evince, that Mr. Lea, to whom American naturalists 

 appear very judiciously to have consigned this extraordinary genus 

 in conchology, did by no means exhaust his subject, when in the 

 last previous contribution, he carried the list of indigenous species 

 to seventy four.* We are now to follow him in the annunciation 

 of the following new species, to v.hicli we shall simply append their 

 habitat.
