本书主要介绍Hydrobiin 6 e和PomatiopMnce两个亚科。在属于前者的属中，详细的描述和出色的轮廓切割说明了贝壳，动物，齿系等，并给出了典型种Amnieola、Bythinella和新属Fluminicola。本文还对模式种（Lmnieola lapidaria，Say）作了相似的描述和图解，并据此建立了Pomatiopsis属和Pomatiopsin~ e亚科。后一种类型，虽然是一种真正的呼吸空气的软体动物，习惯性地生活在水中，但显示出用鳃呼吸，而不是像自然预期的那样，用肺呼吸。然而，他评论说：”可以说它是两栖的，但只是在琥珀和其他一些陆生软体动物的意义上;也就是说，它能够在水下生活很长时间。“这种类型的足也被证明是适应的，通过一种特殊的构造，在水中以滑行的方式前进，在陆地上时，在喙的帮助下，以步进的方式前进。进一步，他对Hydrobiince亚科进行了扩展描述，对所包括的每个属进行了准确的诊断，完整的参考文献，同义词，模式的引用，等等。在这些属中，以下是新的：--Tryonia，Stim.，发现一个新种; T.来自科罗拉多沙漠的elathrata（可能灭绝）;波塔-
The memoir is mainly devoted to the subfamilies Hydrobiin6e and PomatiopMnce. Of the genera belonging to the former, extended descriptions, and excellent outline cuts illustrating the shell, anima}, dentition, &c., are given of the typical species ofAmnieola, Bythinella, and the new genus Fluminicola. Similar illustrations and a good description are given of the type (¢ lmnieola lapidaria, Say) upon which the genus Pomatiopsis and the subfamily Pomatiopsin~ e were founded. The latter type, although a true air-breathing mollusk, living habitually out of water, is shown to breathe by gills, and not, as would naturally be expected, by lungs. He remarks, however, that" it may be said to be amphibious, but only in the sense that Succinea and some other terrestrial mollusca are so; that is, it is capable of living for a long time under water." The foot of this type is also shown to be adapted, by a peculiar construction, to a gliding mode of progression in water, and to a stepping motion, aided by the rostrum, when on land.Further on, he gives an extended description of the subfamily Hydrobiince, with accurate diagnoses of each of the included genera, full references, synonymy, citations of types, &c. Of these genera, the following are new:--Tryonia, Stim., tbunded upon a new species; T. elathrata (probably extinct) from the Colorado desert; Pota-
