were found to be recent shells from the kitchen-middens that overlie all of the San 

 Pedro fossil deposits. The mistake of reporting kitchen-midden shells as " Pleisto- 

 cene " and "Pliocene" has been made by a number of collectors, who have mis- 

 taken these accumulations for fossil deposits. The two species of Haliotia above 

 referred to, besides H. fulgens, are common in many of the kitchen-middens along 

 the coast, and especially so in those around San Pedro.
