Collecting American Seash ells 69<br />

Among the leading American collections that in the California Academy<br />

of Sciences in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, stands foremost in western<br />

United States. It is a large and well-kept collection, supplemented by an<br />

excellent library. Drs. G. Dallas Hanna and Leo Hertlein have in the main<br />

been responsible for its successful growth. The Paleontology Collection at<br />

Stanford University contains a large series of recent and fossil mollusks. It<br />

is particularly strong in material from the Pacific northwest. Its present cura-<br />

tor. Dr. Myra Keen, is one of our outstanding malacologists who specializes<br />

in marine bivalves. A very large collection of marine mollusks is housed at<br />

the San Diego Natural History Society, Balboa Park, San Diego. The<br />

Museum of Paleontology, University of California, Berkeley, also has a very<br />

large collection.
