JJnio {Lampsilis) suUortus and U. {Dysnomia) lampreyamis, spp. nn., Baird 
and Adams, Proc. Zool. Soc. p. 491, pi. 26. ligs. 1 & 2, Shanghai. Some 
particulars concerning the synonymy of other Chinese species of Unio are 
given in the same paper. [To the synonyms of U. douglasice given here 
maybe added Unio osbecJcii of Philippi, Zeitschr. f. Mai. 1844; U. lam- 
preyanus appears to bo very similar to U. diveryens, Cantor, which the Re- 
corder knows from Cantor’s description only.] 
Unio cambojensis (Sow.) and U. sivinhoei (Reeve), apparently new species 
in Reeve’s ‘ Conchologia Iconica,’ parts 256, 257, both from Cambodja. 
Unio caudiczdatus, sp. n.. Martens, Mai. Bliitt. xiv. p. 16, Borneo. — U. pli- 
catulus (Lea) inhabits Borneo, not Southern Africa, as erroneously stated by 
Reeve. Id. ibid. — U. abyssinicus (Martens, see Zool. Record, iii. p. 210) rede- 
scribed, and U. tricolor (Kiist.), Lake Tzana, Abyssinia. Id. ibid. pp. 17-19. 
Unio zekbori (Bunker), Reis. Novar. Moll. pi. 2. fig. 28, New Zealand. 
Unio. Thirty-seven North -American species, described some years ago by 
Lea, are figured in the Journal of the Acad, of Nat. Sciences of Philadelphia, 
second series, vol. vi. part 1, together with the following from other 
countries: — U. rasus, diynatuf^, mosulensis, orontesensis, bouryuiynaticmuSj 
damascensiSf syriacus, and delicatus, from Asia Minor ; tripartitus^ from India ; 
pazii and laosensis, from Siam ; kirJcii, nyassaensis, afendus, and natalensisj 
from Eastern Africa; paraiiiattensis, from New South Wales. 
[^Maryaritand] Unio (Mat'y.) maryaritifer (L.), in the Ussuri River, in 
Mantchouria, and in a little river of the island of Sachalin, rare. The fresh- 
water shells yielding pearls in Eastern Siberia and Mantchouria, are probably 
not this species, but Anodonta pUcata. Schrenck, I, c. pp. 700-704. 
Monocondylcea compressa and mouhotiana (Lea), from Siam, figured in 
Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philad. vol. vi. part 2. 
Alasmodonta (subgenus Pseudodon, Conrad) vandembuschiana (Lea) = 
zoilinyeri (Mouss.) = c<wjm^i (Lea), Borneo, Sumatra, and Java; A. crispata 
(pio\xQS.)—planulata (Lea) =/rcf^i/w (Kiist.), Java, nearly allied to the former. 
Martens, Mai. Blatt. xiv. p. 13. 
[Barbal(i\ Anodonta plicata (Solander), with which is to be united as a 
variety A. herculea (Midd.), is common in the Amur river and its tributaries 
from the streamlets of Bauria to its mouth in the Gulf of Tartary. . Schrenck, 
1. c. pp. 404-718, pi. 27. fig. 4. — A. maynifica (Lea), in the southern tribu- 
taries of the same river, pi. 28. figs. 1, 2. — A. anatina (L.), a rather large 
variety, corresponding to Rossmiissler’s fig. 420 ; and A. cellemis (Gmel.), 
Amur at Nikolajewsk. Schrenck, 1. c. pp. 718-723. 
Anodonta. Mr. Sowerby treats of this genus in the late Mr. Reeve’s Con- 
chologia Iconica, parts 262-265. Critical remarks concerning several species 
[probably by Lea] in Am. Journ. Conch, iii. p. 247. 
Anodonta cygnea (L.), vcntricosa (Pfr.), cellensis (Gmel.), anatina (L.), 
pictetiana (Mortillet), and piscinalis (Nilss.) are described and figured, most 
of them in difterent stages of age, with critical remarks, by A. Brot, Etudes 
sur les coquilles de la famille des Nayades qui habitent le bassin du L5man : 
Bale et Geneve, 1867, 8vo, with 9 plates. 
Anodonta elaclmta^ sp. n., Bourguignat, Moll. Nouv. fasc. vi. 1806, p. 197, 
pi. 31. figs. 12-14, Arles, Southern France.
