It has been asserted by earlier writers that Pisidium amnicum Miill. and virginicum Gmel. have two cardinal teeth in the right valve, and mainly on the strength of that character, Clessin has es- tablished the group Fluminina. Some authors have ascribed that feature to other species of Pisidium, or even to all, indiscriminately and without examination. But the whole tiling is based on a misappre- only one cardinal hension ; the fact is that the two Pisidin named have tooth in the right valve (and two in the left, like all others), and con- sequently the feature holds good not only for Pisidium, but for the whole family, Sphceriidce. It might be added that if tho>e species had really two teeth, Fluminina would mean a distinct genus, at least. In young, and even many half-grown specimens, there is plainly a single cardinal tooth, strongly curved. With advancing age there appears an indentation in the middle (above), as the anterior and posterior parts are growing more. They grow also in thickness, even the thinner anterior often becomes grooved, and at the same time the whole tooth becomes more curved, resp. angular, resembling the two in the left valve (inversely). But a careful examination will show that the two shanks are connected. On the other hand, in many specimens of P. compressum Pr., vari- ahile Pr., etc., there is a more or less marked indentation in the middle of the right cardinal. THE NAUTILUS. NEW PI8IDIA FROM ALABAMA. BY V. STERKI. Among the latest sending of Sphceriidx from Alabanaa and Ten- nessee, collected by Mr. H. H. Smith and sent for examination by Mr. Bryant Walker, there were three Pisidia which could not be referred to any of the established species and not to each other.
