136 THE NAUTILUS. 



The ribs on the right valve of jordani are all divided from near 

 the umbones. 



One fine specimen (the type) living was obtained in July, 

 1919, and one was taken in July, 1918, but is much thicker 

 shell, a little larger than the type. Named in honor of Prof. 

 Trevor Kincaid, of the Univ. of Washington, to whom we owe 

 so much good material. Type is in Oldroyd Coll., Stanford 

 University, No. 89. 



Pecten islandicus pugetensis n. var. Plate IV, figs, 5, 6. 



Shell much smaller than the typical, sculpture coarser in pro-

 Ribs 17 with a very fine one in the interspaces. 



The type is in the Oldroyd Collection, Stanford University. 

 Type locality off San Juan Island, Puget Sound. 12 specimens 

 were obtained, two from the dredge, and ten from rocks on 

 shore.
