AMERICA. 1896 LIST OF DUPLICATES OF JAPANESE SHELLS MARINE, LAND, AND FRESH WATER, COLLECTED PERSONALLY BY FREDERICK STEARNS h OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN, U. S.

Reference in following lists of DUPLICATES is made to the pages of the new complete cata- logue of the Marine Mollusks of Japan, with descriptions and illustrations of new species, and notes on others— the collections of Frederick Stearns— by Henry A. Pilsbry, Conservator of the Conchologi- cal Section of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, Pa., U. S. A. The above catalogue was published by Frederick Stearns, 1895, pp. 204, plates XI, 140 figures. Price in paper covers, $1.00; bound in cloth, $1.50. If by mail, 12 cents extra must be sent for pre- paying postage. (See advertisement on last page of cover.) I desire and expect to use these duplicates to obtain in exchange from other and original col- lectors, desirable species of shells, echinoderms, crustaceans, star fishes, corals, sponges, etc., etc., not now in my collection. Persons receiving this list and desiring to exchange will send me a list of what they have to offer of the rarer species, not necessarily showy or striking, among which new and undetermined species and varieties will be welcome, so long as they are known to be such, and from the hands of the original collectors. I have no lists of desiderata to send to any one. Postal charges in all cases to be paid by the sender and not by the receiver, unless under special arrangements to the contrary. The charges on large shells, or on large parcels of shells which can not be sent by mail, but which must go by express, or as freight by rail, must be paid by the receiver. Correspondence will be acceptable in Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, as well as English. Persons having rare shells which they prefer to sell for cash only will be treated with. The prices affixed to the shells on this list are believed to be reasonable, and in offering shells for exchange I expect my correspondent will affix a price to each species offered, in order that an exchange or sale may be evenly and promptly adjusted. This list comprises the duplicates of the collections of two visits to Japan, 1889-90 and 1892. The quantity of new material obtained Jm'tfcs la& \£sft fiQl&yJbdJthe issue of this list for reason that two years passed before the new and ccnipfete 'catalogue' of Jt»pan Marine Shells could be written and published. • « « 9* .< * e»c « • « • ",*««*• A list of DUPLICAT/F/'LoJo C£0o,f^a*vatian; ajid SfculVf eji flhella was printed in 1894, but not mailed to conchologists until "now (189&)/when it is enclosed with this list. In ordering, please give the name of the list, whether Japanese, Loo Choo, Hawaiian, or other. Mention page and species, number wanted, and price. Collectors and dealers wishing any of these shells, and not having desirable species to offer in exchange, will please write their wishes. Some species are in considerable numbers, and shell dealers wishing to purchase such may write for particulars. Where two prices are given, it is for varying sizes, quality, or quantity. The largest number of species of shells in the new catalogue are those of rare museum types here and abroad, and of those of which I only found one or few, and hence those are retained as types in my personal general collection now displayed in the rooms of the Detroit Scientific Museum.

LOO CHOO ISLAND SHELLS, The Loo Choo Islands (Lew Chew, Liu Kiu, or Riu Kiu) include the whole series extending in a northeast and southeast direction from Japan proper to the Island of Formosa. Within the northern group lies the intersection of 130° east longitude and 30° north latitude, and in the southern group that of 125° east longitude and 25° north latitude. At the present time they belong to the Jap- anese Empire. In the summer of 1891, I sent Morizo Seto, my Japanese collector, to those islands, where he remained collecting for nearly a year. The results of the trip were somewhat disappointing as to new species, inasmuch as the Loo Choo spe- cies belong more to the better known Indo-Pacific fauna than they do to the fauna of the Japanese seas. A detailed list of the 367 species found forms an appendix to the new and complete catalogue of Japanese marine shells published by me, 1894. In the following are those species of which I have sufficient duplicates to offer correspondents in exchange, or which are for sale for cash at the affixed prices each. Of quite a number on this list I have perhaps less than a dozen specimens each, and with these it will be, of course, first come, first served. Of the rest, specimens are more numerous Persons receiving this list and desiring to exchange, will send me a list of what they have to offer, which must be specimens in good condition, living shells, and preferably in all cases, such as have been collected by the person desiring to exchange. Postage or express charges to be paid by the sender, except for heavy and low-priced shells, or unless otherwise arranged for. As I am absent from home much of the time on long extended tours of travel, correspondence directed as per address below will be forwarded to me if absent, but at such times the delay in arranging exchanges will be considerable. , Address, FREDERICK STEARNS (Personal), 371 Lafayette Avenue, DETROIT, MICH., U.

The following is a list of Marine, F. W. and Land Shells, collected per- sonally in the Hawaiian Islands in 1892, and also a number of species purchased at the Islands from collections made in the South Seas and brought thereto by the Missionary Steamer, Morning Star. These Shells are for sale at the affixed prices, or they may be had in exchange for other desirable species not in my collection, particularly for such as have been personally collected by correspondents. Postage and other charges to be met by the sender unless otherwise arranged, except for heavy or low-priced shells. In making exchanges, the values placed upon such species by dealers is to be considered, rather than exchange of species for species, or shell for shell. I have also a printed list of Shells for exchange or sale, collected in Japan at two different visits. It may be had on application. A new and complete list of Japanese Marine Shells will be published by me in October, 1894, embodying my own collections, new to science, or not before reported from Japan, since Bunker's work in 1882, with critical notes by Prof. H. A. Pilsbry, and with illustrations of new species. Address FREDERICK STEARNS (Personal), 371 Lafayette Avenue, DETROIT, MICH., U. S. A. Nassa (Alectryon) hirta, Kiener ; Oahu.

NEW CATALOGUE OP THE Marine Mollusks of Japan WITH DESCRIPTIONS AND ILLUSTRATIONS OF NEW SPECIES AND NOTES ON OTHERS COLLECTED BY FREDERICK STEARNS. BY HENRY A. PILSBRY, Conservator Conchological Section of the Academy of Natural Sciences, of Philadelphia. This catalogue grew from the research incidental to the identifica- tion of the mollusca procured by Frederick Stearns during two visits ) Japan A portion of the collection made in 1889-'90 having been submitted to Mr. Pilsbry for identification, it was found to contain a number of new and interesting species, some of which were described and figured in the Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia for 1891, and in The Nautilus. A much more extensive collection was secured by Mr. Stearns upon his second visit to Japan (1892), and it was found necessary to review so considerable an amount of conchological literature in its identifica- tion that it seemed desirable to collate all the references to Japanese mollusks subsequent to the date of Bunker's excellent work, Index MoUuscomm Marls Japonic!, as well as those not contained m that catalogue and, together with descriptions and figures of the new forms discovered bv Mr. Stearns, to publish a new catalogue of Japanese marine mollusca. The present volume contains about five hundred species more than Bunker's Index, although a considerable number of forms enumerated by him are herein considered synonyms or are re- iected from the Japanese list. Forty species and eight varieties be- lieved to be new, are described and illustrated, including some of which diagnoses have already appeared in The Nautilus, and the species of certain families, such as Patellidae, Fissurellidae, etc., are somewhat critically revised The work consists of three portions: A list of marine mollusks which have been stated to inhabit Japan from Yezzo to Kiushiu, with references to description or figures of most species, and enumeration of the special localities at which each species has been found by previous naturalists or by Mr. Stearns. This is followed by a eata- lo i o cf y THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARY
