This Collecticn is certainly one of deep scien- tific interest and furnishes one of the best examples of evolution that we have evermet with, for it closely unites what has been considered heretofore,as five zood and distinct specie, For the purpose of showing their close relation- ship I have arranged them in suites to show their full range of variation, in form, size, sculpture and color. I offer the following testimonials from our highest conchologica! authorities as evidence of their scientific value. Without exception your Utah suite is the most interesting I ever studied, and the most in structive. W.G. Binney. Your suite of Utuh Helices is deeply interest- ing. The forms we know as strigosa, Cooperi, Idaho- enusis, Hemphilli and Hiydeni, are shown by num- crous varieties to be intimately connected. Tho’s. Bland. I have examined with care the magnificent suite of land shells coilected by youin Utah, and do not hesitate in pronouncing them the most in- teresting and instructive of any groupe of Helices that I have ever been priviliged to study.
