  A 
  list 
  of 
  the 
  Mollusca 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  of 
  New 
  York 
  (land, 
  fresh 
  water 
  

   and 
  marine), 
  drawn 
  from 
  our 
  collections, 
  from 
  the 
  lists 
  of 
  Dr. 
  Lewis, 
  

   and 
  from 
  other 
  reliable 
  sources, 
  has 
  been 
  nearly 
  completed. 
  This 
  

   was 
  intended 
  for 
  presentation 
  with 
  the 
  present 
  report, 
  in 
  order 
  that, 
  

   through 
  its 
  indication 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  in 
  the 
  possession 
  of 
  the 
  Museum, 
  

   it 
  might 
  serve 
  as 
  an 
  aid 
  in 
  supplying 
  our 
  numerous 
  deficiencies. 
  

   It 
  is 
  temporarily

  The 
  labeling 
  of 
  the 
  Palseontological 
  collection 
  has 
  been 
  continued. 
  

   A 
  large 
  portion 
  (the 
  entire 
  series 
  from 
  the 
  Potsdam 
  Sandstone 
  to 
  the 
  

   Chemung 
  group), 
  has 
  been 
  reviewed 
  and 
  relabeled 
  in 
  accordance 
  

   with 
  the 
  present 
  nomenclature. 
  This 
  work 
  had 
  become 
  necessary 
  by 
  

   the 
  generic 
  changes 
  made 
  since 
  the 
  original 
  descriptions. 
  The 
  origi- 
  

   nal 
  name 
  is 
  retained 
  on 
  the 
  label 
  as 
  a 
  synonym, 
  together 
  with 
  refer- 
  

   ence 
  to 
  the 
  original 
  description. 
  

  

  A 
  considerable 
  number 
  of 
  specimens 
  have 
  been 
  added 
  to 
  the 
  col- 
  

   lections, 
  especially 
  in 
  the 
  Corals 
  of 
  the 
  Upper 
  Helderberg 
  Limestone, 
  

   and 
  in 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  Coralline 
  Limestone 
  ; 
  while 
  a 
  large 
  number 
  of 
  

   specimens 
  are 
  ready 
  for 
  arrangement. 
  

  

  Several 
  improvements 
  in 
  the 
  condition 
  of 
  the 
  cases 
  have 
  been 
  

   authorized 
  by 
  the 
  Commissioners 
  of 
  the 
  Land 
  Office, 
  affording 
  facili- 
  

   ties 
  for 
  the 
  better 
  arrangement 
  of 
  the 
  specimens. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  Twenty-fourth 
  report 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  Museum, 
  a 
  list 
  is 
  given 
  

   of 
  specimens 
  from 
  the 
  Lower 
  Carboniferous 
  Limestone 
  of 
  Burlington, 
  

   Iowa, 
  and 
  from 
  the 
  Waverly 
  Sandstone 
  of 
  Ohio, 
  which 
  were 
  tem- 
  

   porarily 
  arranged 
  in 
  the 
  cases. 
  These 
  specimens 
  have 
  been 
  with- 
  

   drawn 
  and 
  will 
  be 
  replaced 
  by 
  others 
  of 
  similar 
  character 
  belong- 
  

   ing
