PLEISTOCENE FOSSILS OF MAGDALENA BAY, LOWER CALIFOENIA, 

 COLLECTED BY CHARLES RUSSELL ORCUTT. 



BY WILLIAM HEALEY DALL. 



In a recent visit to Magdalena Bay, Mr. Orcutt obtained a 

 series of Pleistocene fossils from a deposit on Magdalena 

 Island which prove very interesting. A number of the species 

 average larger than the recent forms of the same name, others, 

 like 8 trombus granulatus, are uniformly smaller. Many of 

 the species have not been reported from so far north in the 

 recent state, and on the whole the assembly has a more topical 

 aspect than that of the recent fauna. One or two of the 

 largest forms appear to be new. The list follows : 



Bullaria aspersa A. Adams. Vasum caestus Broderip. 



Terebra annillata Hinds. Oliva incrassata Solander. 



Conus fergusoni Sowerby. Olivella dama Mawe. 



Conus vittatus Hwass. Phyllonotus stearnsii Dall, n.
