Florida to Dr. Dall ; those from the New England localities 

 were given an initial letter, as it was not considered advisable 

 to give out manuscript names. In one instance, as a report on 

 a collection from Coldspring Harbor, L. L, by Mr. Balch* of 

 Boston, these initial letters were published and full credit 

 given me. 



Among the most frequent visitors at the Museum was Rev. 

 Henry W. Winkley, then of Branford, Connecticut, who is a 

 most enthusiastic student and collector of New England mol- 

 lusks ; principally at Prince Edward Island, N. S., Casco 

 Bay, Woods Holl, Mass. and Branford, Conn. His collection 

 is unique in having numerous perfect specimens of the vari- 

 ous species, and was of inestimable value in enabling me to 

 decide many difficult questions of the correct identification in 

 this puzzling group. To Mr. Winkley I also refused to give 

 my new unpublished names, but used the same initial letters 

 as for Mr. Balch. There were in his collection representatives 

 of many of the new forms found in that of the U. S. F. C. 

 as well as a few unique ones, not among the U. S. F. C. 

 specimens. 



These specimens from Mr. Winkley's collection are cited by 

 Mr. Bartsch (p. 475), but no mention whatever is made of the 

 fact that any student had seen the specimens or determined 

 them. 



Among the thirty-eight (38) species cited and described in 

 his report, and in most cases figured, there are seven (7) which 

 he lias never seen (K ventricosa Y. (not Forbes), T. polita 

 Y., T. cequalis (Say) Y., O. bruneri Y., 0. morseana B. for 

 O. sulcata Y. (not A. Adams). 0. dealbata (St.) Binney- 

 Gonld, 0. eburnea (Stimpson) V.); six (6) from Winkley's 

 collection, as types, with two (2) (P. producta (C. B. Adams) 

 and T. mighelsi B. for T. costidata Y. (not Bisso). Fifteen 

 (15) are represented in the Winkley collection, as well as in 

 that of the U. S. F. C. in the National Museum ; and eight 

 (8) are from the IT. S. F. C. collection alone. Of these, three 

 (3), T. cascoensis, T. verrilli, and 0. bushiana are described as 

 new. The new subspecies or varieties, T. abyssicola, T. bran- 

 fordensis, T. senilis, 0. bedeqvensis, and 0. ovilensis, are not 

 included in this enumeration. 



The two specimens identified as Eulimella ventricosa Yer- 

 rill, 1880 (not Forbes, 1843), have proved to be two distinct 

 species. The worn one from Eastport, Me., is now considered 

 identical with Eulimclla polita, Ye mil, 1872, and the one 

 from Station 873 is an Aclis tenuis Yerrill, 1882. Therefore 

 the name Pyramidella (Etdimella) ventricosa Bartsch (p. 70) 

 is superfluous.
