This third volume, dedicated to Isaac Lea, contains eight small contributions on pp. 9-18, and two plates; and one large monograph in four parts, viz. Synonymy of the species of Streptomatidae, a family of fluviatile Mollusca, inhabiting North America. The title thus differs from that given in the general title of the volume.
