"Specimens may be seen in the National Museum (No. 123626) collected at Warm Springs, Pahrana gat Valley, Nevada, by Dr. O. Hart Merriam, May 25, 1891." This form, not previously described, is regarded by Mr. Pilsbry, who is an authority on the shells of this and allied groups, as a new species. It was found associated with Tryonia clathrata, elsewhere noted, the temperature of the water being ri;mii. Fluminicola fusca Hald. var. minor. Ash Meadows, Nye County, Nevada (Mus. No. 123624), F. Stephens, Mivfeh 4. 1891. Numerous (200) living specimens of nearly uniform size in spring. Fluminicola nuttalliana Lea. Shoshone Falls, Idaho (Mus. No. 58396).
