“The photographs of Saville Kent show the giant clams in their natural position on the Great Barrier Reef, where they occur free and exposed at low tide, standing on their umbones, and showing their brightly colored mantle and so-called eyes as they gape.” There are many other interesting notes bearing on nomenclature, and the animals of Australian species. Six new species are described and twenty-nine species figured.—C. W. J. * * * * * AN ANNOTATED LIST OF SHELLS FROM NORTHERN MICHIGAN. By Mina L. Winslow (Occasional papers, Mus. Zool., Univ. Mich., No. 42, July 1, 1917) a list of sixty-five species from Schoolcraft, Alger and Chippewa counties, also a list from Isle Royale. NOTES. THE OLDROYD COLLECTION.—Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Oldroyd have given their collection of shells to the Leland Stanford Jr. University, and are now permanently employed in the Museum, Mrs. Oldroyd being the curator. The collection has been placed in the Department of Geology and Mining. The Stanford alumni purchased the collection and library of the late Henry Hemphill, which, with the Law collection and several others, forms an unusually fine working series. Mr. and Mrs. Oldroyd have spent about eight weeks at Friday Harbor, Puget Sound and British Columbia making large collections for the Stanford University, California Academy of Science and University of California. * * * * * NORTH CAROLINA LAND SHELLS.—The following species of land shells were picked from leaf-mold collected at Spruce Pine, Mitchell Co., North Carolina, by Samuel G. Gordon while on a mineralogical excursion. The specimens are in the collection of the Acad. Nat. Sci., Phila., _Gastrocopta contracta_ Say, _G. pentodon_ Say, _Circinaria concava_ Say, _Polita indentata_ Say, _Taxeodonta lamellidens_ Pils., _Gastrodonta elliotti_ Redf., _G. guldaris_ Say, _Euconulus sterkii_ Dall., _Punctum pygmæum_ Drap., _Carychium exile_ Lea.—E. G. VANATTA. * * * * * A CORRECTION.—In my little paper, “Descriptions of New West American Marine Mollusks and Notes on Previously Described Forms,” Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., Vol. 52, pp. 670‒671, plate 46, figure 2, 1917, I published _Cerithiopsis (Cerithiopsis) helena_ from Panama, type Cat. No. 204128, U. S. N. M. Mr. Vignal, of Paris, has been kind enough to call my attention to the fact that the same combination was used by O. Boettger in 1901 for a fossil in his contribution “Zur Kenntnis der Fauna der mittelmiocänen Schichten von Kostej im Krassò-Szörényer Komitat,” in “Verhandlungen und Mitteilungen des siebenbürgischen Vereins für Naturwissenchaften zu Hermannstadt,” p. 128, 1901. It is therefore necessary to bestow a new designation on my shell, and it may be known as _Cerithiopsis (Cerithiopsis) anaitis_.—PAUL BARTSCH. * * * * *
