A name printed in italics indicates that the species has been included without positive evidence that it inhabits New York. This list has been prepared for distribution among conch- ologists with a view to obtaining data bearing upon the geographical distribution of the Unionidse inhabiting the state of New York. For this reason the names of the species have been arranged alphabetically and a space for notes has been left under the name of each species. Recipients are requested to furnish the undersigned with all information in their possession regarding: 1 The general distribution of each species. 2 The distribution of each species in the state of New York. 3 The causes which tend to restrict or extend the habitat of each species in the state of New York. 4 The reasons why there are numerous species in the waters of the western part of the state and few species in the waters of the eastern part. The general distribution of each species can be given by a list of all localities in which the species is known to occur; or by a list of selected localities which will serve to show the streams inhabited by the species and the extreme points at which it has been found. The distribution of each species in the state of New York can be best shown by a list of all localities in which the species is known to occur. All information placed at the disposal of the undersigned will be thankfully received and duly acknowledged in a sub- sequent list. Contributions of specimens with well-preserved beaks are respectfully solicited for the collection of the New York State Museum. WILLIAM B. MARSHALL New York State Museum n Albany, N.
