Bulletin of tlie Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College. Vol. xii, 

 No. 6. Eeport on the Mollusca [of the Blake expeditions]. By W. H. Dall. 

 Part I. Brachiopoda and Pelecypoda. Cambridge, the Museum. 1886. 8'^.

 seum. 1889. 8°. pp. 1^92, pi. x-XL. 

 These two publications incidentally review a large proportion of the marine 

 mollusks of our southeastern coast. For a general index to the literature of 

 mollusks for the same region the student may consult — 



Bulletin of the U. S. Geological Survey No. 24. List of marine moUusks, compris- 

 ing quaternary fossils and recent forms from American localities between 

 Cape Hatteras and Cape Eoque, including the Bermudas. By W. H. Dall, 

 Washington, the Survey. 1885. 8°. 336 pp. 

 This bulletin also includes a bibliography. 



For information in regard to the mollusks of the Pacific coast of the 

 United States the collector is referred to — 



MoUusks of Western North America. By Philip P. Carpenter, B. a., ph. d. Washing- 

 ton. Smithsonian Institution. 1872. 8°. xiv, 325 and 121 pp. 

 This comprises a bibliography to all papers published on this subject by Dr. 

 Carpenter in foreign countries (but not his papers printed in America), a 

 reprint of many of them and a general index to all, including those not re- 

 printed, always excepting his American papers. It forms No. 252 of the 

 Smithsonian list. A later list, which is, however, a mere list of names and 

 localities, was printed by the State Geological Survey of California, as 

 follows : 



Geographical Catalogue of the Mollusca Found West of the Eocky Mountains, be- 

 tween latitudes 33° and 49° north. By J. G. Cooper, m. d. San Francisco. 

 1867. 4°. 40 pp. 



If the student desires a general work in which all the species of mol- 

 lusks are to be found figured, he is referred to the following publication, 

 still in progress : 



Manual of Conchology, Structural and Systematic, with illustrations of the species. 

 By Geo. W. Tryon, jr. Coutinuation by H. A. Pilsbry. Philadelphia. 

 Conchological section, Academy of Natural Sciences. 1882 to 1891 {et seq.). 

 This work is to be comprised in four series, of which the first and second are in 

 progress, as follows : First series, marine univalves ; second series, terres- 

 trial mollusks; third series, marine bivalves; fourth series, fluviatile mol- 

 lusks. 



For reference to the scattered papers of earlier writers on American 

 mollusks the following work will be found convenient, in spite of the 

 want of an index : 



Bibliography of North American Conchology previous to the year 1860. By W. G. 

 Binney. Washington. Smithsonian Institution. 1863-4. 8°. 

 Part 1. American authors. 650 pp. 

 Part II. Foreign authors. 298 pp. 

 These form numbers 142 and 174 of the Smithsonian list. 



In conclusion, it may be added that many of the American recent 

 mollusks, which are also found fossil, and which are not illustrated 

 elsewhere, may be found figured in the Transactions of the Wagner 

 Free Institute of Science, Philadelphia, Pa., Vol. iii.
