a = CATALOGUE OF RECENT MARINE SHELLS, FOUND ON THE COASTS OF NORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA. Yd iD. KURZ: PORTLAND: PRINTED BY DAVID TUCKER. 1860 O14 06 The shells here enumerated were collected during the years 1848 to 1852. Of a few species indicated by a *, I have seen no specimens. The publications referred to, are—Journal of the Academy of Natural Sciences, of Philadelphia ; Report on the Invertebrata of Massachusetts, 1841, by Gould ; Proceedings of the Boston Society of Natural History ; Geology of South Carolina, 1848, Appendix, Catalogue of the Fauna, Gibbes; Shells of New England, Stimpson, 1851; and Say’s American Conchology. It is much to be desired that this region of our coast, so rich in its Invertebrate Zoology, should be thoroughly explored by competent ob- servers. The tertiary marls which fringe the coast, are denuded at va- rious points below tide, and the exposure affords a nidus for many fine species, especially of mollusca and zoophytes. The localities to which I had access were, besides Charleston harbor and its shores, Folly Island to the south and Long Island and Bull’s Bay to the north of Charleston, Oak Island at the mouth of the Cu, Fear River, and Fort Macon, Beaufort, North Carolina.
