TJVANILLA REGINA, A NEW LOCALITY. 



BY EOBT. E. C. STEARNS. 



A few days since, Mr. Charles H. Lawrence, who resides on Boyle 

 Heights in this city, submitted to me for identification a specimen 

 of this fine species which he collected about Christmas, 1895, on 

 San Clemente Island, latitude 32 55' N., longitude 118 30' W. 

 This find of Mr. Lawrence's carries the species so far to the north as 

 to include it in the faunal list of California proper. The prelimi- 

 nary description of U. regina was published in the THE NAUTILUS 

 for December, 1892, and was subsequently described more fully in 

 theProc. U. S. Nat. Museum, Vol. XVI, 1893, pp. 350-51, from a 

 specimen collected by Capt. 3. D. Porter, of San Diego, Cal., on 

 Guadaloupe Island off the coast of Lower California in latitude 29 

 N., longitude 118 W. 



As this easily recognizable species is exceedingly rare at this date, 

 it may be well to note that examples are contained in the collec- 

 tions of the National Museum (No. 125314), of Henry Hemphill 

 and Miss Cooke, San Diego, and of Mr. Lawrence, above-named. 

 The Hemphill and Cooke sp'ecimens are part of the lot collected by 

 Capt. Porter. 



In my paper on " The Shells of the Tres Marias and Other Lo- 

 calities along the Shores of Lower California and the Gulf of Cali- 

 fornia," this form is listed, as the island of Guadaloupe belongs to 

 Mexico.
