ALBINISTIC EPIPHRAGMOPHORA FIDELIS.—A few days ago, I had two hours in Gladstone Park. The Park is wooded, and there are large moss-covered rocks. _E. fidelis_ was out freely. I found one light one. The one sent you some years ago was uniform in color. This one shows two distinct dark narrow bands around the lower whorl, but not showing anywhere else. This is the fourth one I have found in the Park in twenty years or more, though I have been there often. —J. G. MALONE, _Portland, Ore._ * * * * * The many friends of DR. HERMANN VON IHERING will hear with deep regret that he has been removed by political intrigue from his position of Director of the MUSEU PAULISTA at Sao Paulo, Brazil. This museum was founded by Dr. von Ihering. His eminence as a zoologist and unceasing activity as an investigator of the South American fauna, had won for it an honorable place among scientific institutions. We understand that his successors are men without knowledge of the biological sciences. As the only scientific assistant, Mr. Rudolph von Ihering has resigned, it appears that the scientific activity of the State Museum of Sao Paulo has come to an end—a real calamity to American zoology and paleontology. Dr. von Ihering is located at present at Hansa de Joinville, State of Santa Catharina. He is in good health, and is engaged in the preparation of his work: “Die biogeographischen Grundgesetze,” several chapters of which will deal with mollusks.—H. A. P. & C. W. J.

Footnote 7: In NAUTILUS, 28, 1914, p. 31, I have described the anatomy of “_Pleurobema fassinans_.” This is a mistake: the shells examined belong to _Pleurobema_ all right, but are the form known as _U. argenteus_ Lea, which belongs to the _oviforme-group_, and should be called: _Pleurobema oviforme argenteum_ (Lea). These will be treated more fully elsewhere. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
