After doing so, he reported to me: " Mr. Cuming* says that your shell is certainly A. Californica, ; In future this should be excluded from lists of a. caiifomica pfr. ^or^ American species. As it is little known, I add the figure engraved for the before-mentioned work of W. G. Binney. A. Californica appears to be viviparous; within one of my specimens I found two young shells, each having 2 to 2£ Pupa Rowellii rVewc. Pupa Californica Rowell. The former species, from the vicinity of Oakland, California, was described by Kewcomb in Ann. vii. 143; and the latter, from San Francisco, by Rowell in Ann. vii. 287. I now pre- sent figures of both, from drawings by Morse, with the follow- ing remarks, for which I am indebted to him. * Mr. Cuming died in London on the 10th August last.
