 This memoir comprises a mono- 

 graph of the deep sea Mollusca 

 and Brachiopoda, hitherto col- 

 lected on the western coast of 

 South America between Panama 

 and the Magellan Straits, together 

 with a few species collected by 

 the Albatross from shallower wa- 

 ter during the same series of ex- 

 plorations. The relation to each 

 other of the two faunas, Carib- 

 bean and Pacific, is discussed ; 

 lists of the shore shells at Cocos, 

 Easter, Manga Reva, and Flint 

 Islands are given ; the species of 

 the genus Argonauta are revised ; 

 and the characteristics of the 

 Eastern Pacific fauna are dis- 

 cussed. A very large number of 

 new species are described and fig- 

 ured, and a few new genera, sub- 

 genera, or sections are proposed, 

 of which the following list con- 

 tains a census. Various anatom- 

 ical notes accompany the de- 

 scriptions. 



The following group names are 

 proposed in this work : Section 

 Archivesica of the genus Yesi- 

 comya; genus Basiliola of the 

 BhynchonelUdce ; subgenera Bor- 

 sonella, Phymorhynchus, Ireno-

 subgenus Cylichnlum of Cylich- 

 nella Gabb ; section EmpJcconia of

 Yoldia; Lcucophysema, section of 

 Bullrtria; Minormalletia, section
