I have seen an authentic speci- men, given by Mr. Call to the National Museum. It is figured here. Mesodon Romeri, Pfeiffer. divestus, Gould. The tvpical form has few separated, very stout ribs ; a va- Triodopsis Cragini, riety from Eufala, Indian Territorj7-, sent me by Mr. C. T. Simpson, has numerous fine ribs and revolving microscopic lines. One in- dividual is 24 mm. in greater diameter. Mesodon jejunus, Say. See Manual of American Land Shells, p. 390. Mesodon Kiowaensis, Simpson. Shell umbilicated, orbicularly depressed, solid, dark brown in color ; whorls 5, with rather coarse strise, and fine revolving impressed lines, which are much more conspicuous on the last whorl. Suture deeply impressed, leaving the whorls well rounded ; aperture oblique, somewhat transversely rounded, forming fully three fourths of a circle ; peristome thick and solid, whitish or pur- plish, evenly reflected, with a slight constriction behind it; umbilicus moderate, deep, exhibiting but little more than one of the whorls. Greater diam. 15, lesser 13, height 7 mm. Kiowa Station, about thirty specimens, mostly dead. Lime- stone Gap, two dead specimens. Another badly bleached shell was obtained jiot far from Eufaula (Indian Territory). Jaw with 9 ribs; teeth with fewer laterals than Sayii, and the inner cusp is bifid on the marginals, w
