Attard, 18 Rue du Rieth, 67200 Strasbourg, France, and Mme. Ch. 
Adler, 14 Rue Adler, 67 Strasbourg, Robertson, France. Their letter 
said that they would like to establish contacts with American col- 
lectors in view of future trades. M. Attard is most interested in 
land shells, and Mme. Adler in marine and freshwater species.
