A manual of American land shells, by W. G-. Binney, has just bee-i published by 

 the Smi hso iau Insti utio.i as Bulle in No. 28 of the U. S. National Museum. It 

 iz arranged according to the geographical distribution of t e species rather than ac- 

 cording to the systematic clas iticatio . Seventy-three species are given as belong- 

 ing to the Pacific province, which includes the territory west of the Sierra Nevada 

 and Cascade mountans from Alaska to San Diego. Two species found at San Diego 

 — Say's Vertigo Ovata, and Pupa hordeacea of Gabb — are omitted, which would 

 raise the number to seventy-five.

Dr. V. B. Wittrock, in the second fasciculas of his 'Erythrse exiscata,' issued 

 December 1, 1885, describes a new species of Erytlmea, from Washington Territory, 

 under the name of E. Curvistaminea. The plant was collected by W. N. Suksdorf. 

 It is nearly related to E. Doug'.asii.
