thin; iiHiTior rctldish brown (shows in d\\ Pleistocene specimens examined), except for border equal 

 in wiiith to the space between the deck and the rim, which is light colored; deck thin, with nearly 

 straight edge; slight de[iression where deck joins shell on rii'ht side; deck curves upward at margin 

 where it joins shell, making the line of contact indistinct in most specimens, the deck merging 

 into the shell. 



Dimensions. — Long. 32 mm.; hit. 25 mm.; alt. 10 mm. 



This sliell may bo ili.stiiigiiislied fi'oin V. rugosa by its larger si/.e, depressed 

 t'nrm, interior coloration, and by tiie indi.stiiictness of the line of contact between the 

 dvck ;iiul the shell. The deck of V. onijx is also joineil to the shell nearer the rini 

 than is the deck of either G. 7-uf/osa or C. adunca. 



This specimen was identified by Dr. Dall.

 in upper San Pedro series of Deadman Island, Los Cerritos, and San Pedro. Found

 Crepidula onyx Sby. var. rugosa Nutt., Willi.vmson, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., Vol. X\', 1892, p. 203. 



Shape of shell similar to C. onyx, but more arched; ape.x prominent, submarginal, sharp, 

 hooked, smooth, turned only slightly to one side; lines of growth irregular; surface rugose, and 

 quite glossy in some specimens; aperture oval; margin thin; deck deeply sunken in shell, and line 

 of contact with shell very distinct; edge of deck straight. 



Dimensions. — Long. 20 mm.; lat. 12 mm.; alt. 10 mm.; aperture 15.5 mm. x 12 mm. 



Distinguishable from C. onij.c by more prominent apex, which is further from 

 the niaigin than in the latter; by the deeper set deck and by the less prominent 

 lines of growth. Smaller than (\ onyx. This specimen was identified by Dr. Dall. 



Found in lower San Pedro series of Deadman Island and San Pedro; and in 

 the u|)per San Pedro series of Crawfish George's, Deadman Lsland, San Pedro, Los 

 Cerritos, and Long Beach.
