In the same issue, Eugene Coan starts an account of the Mollusca of the Santa Barbara County area, by listing the Pelecypoda
and Scaphopoda, with notes and bibliography. A series of excellent plates are given showing the fine structure of the
follicle gland of the freshwater snail, Lumnaea auricularia, found near Concord, California, the work of Richard S. Nishioka,
Leonard Simpson, and Howard A. Bern. The gastropod known as Murex rhyssa Dall is renamed Pteropupurata vokesae by William K.
Emerson. Nettie and George E. MacGinitie describe the habitats and breeding seasons of the shelf limpet, Crepidula
norrisiarum Williamson, with a plate showing it growing on Norrisia norrisi (Sowerby). Franz Alfred Schilder presents a
provisional classification of the genus Notocypraea, a cowry found in Tasmania. Myra Keen and Bruce Campbell describe ten new
species of Typhinae from Japan, Panama, Colombia, Mexico, New Zealand, and Australia. There are also other papers, notes,
news, and reviews. The Editorial Board reads like an impressive 'Who's who' on Pacific Coast Mollusca.
Since joining the H. M. S. about a year ago I have been most interested in reading the H. S. N. and enjoy the accounts of
shelling in Philippines. I wonder if your readers would be interested in hearing about shelling in the Florida Keys. Our
group here in Fort Myers shells regularly at nearby Punta Rassa, Fort Myers Beach and Bonita Beach. But our favorite spot now
is in the Marathon area in the Florida Keys, about 250 miles from Fort Myers.
1. Cypraea lutea Gronovius, 1781 Zooph. Gron., pt. 3, p. V, pl. 19, fig. 17 C. lutea Gmelin, 1791 (Linn. Syst. Nat., ed. 13, 1:3414, no. 78) should replace it, as Gmelin was the first to validate it.
2. Cypraea corrosa Gronovius, 1781 Zooph. Gron.; pt. 3, p. V, pl. 18, fig. 10 The name corrosa had been used in a subspecific sense by the Schilders and other writers for the race of C. caurica Linné,
1758, from India, Ceylon and West Malaysia. The name should be replaced by C. caurica derosa Gmelin, 1791 (Linn. Syst. Nat.,
ed. 13, p. 3416), which has usually been regarded as a synonym to corrosa.
3. Amphiperas Meuschen, 1781 - Index to Zoophl. Gron., p. 293 The genus had Bulla ovum Linné, 1758, as type species; it should be replaced by the well-known Ovula Bruguière, 1789 (Enc.
Méth. Vers., 1:15).
