LIST OF SHELLS FROM GULF OF ADEN.

The present collection of shells was obtained in the Gulf of Aden.
No special effort was made to secure one that was representative, as
we had no time to devote to such purposes, and the following species
cannot in any way be considered as illustrating the Conchology of
this region, but only a few specimens gathered by the way.

The species have been determined by Dr. W. H. Dall of the
National Museum, Washington, who very kindly consented to name
them.
