PREFACE. 



The compiler takes pleasure in placing before students of 

 American Conchology, a complete list of the scientific writings of 

 Mr. Thomas Bland, who has so thoroughly studied the mollusks 

 of North America and the West Indies. His contributions to 

 Geographical Distribution of the Terrestrial Mollusks, his notes 

 on Classification, Dentition, Anatomy, etc., have been most val- 

 uable ; and it is with the hope that the list may render these 

 papers more accessible that their titles are now brought together 

 in chronological order. 



Many of the papers have been published jointly with Mr. Wm. 

 G. Binney ; such joint publications are indicated by an asterisk 

 (*) which is prefixed to their respective titles. 



The papers published in the " Journal de CQncJiyliologie" were 

 translated into French by M. H. Crosse from Mr. Bland's original 

 manuscripts. 



The compiler here acknowledges the kindly aid of Mr. Bland 

 who has most materially aided him in the preparation of the list. 



Arthur F. Gray.
