   [Carpenter,

  The 
  type 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  has 
  not 
  been 
  recovered. 
  Carpenter 
  wrote 
  (1856c) 
  that 
  the 
  two 
  

   original 
  specimens 
  were 
  broken 
  before 
  they 
  reached 
  him 
  in 
  England. 
  This 
  suggests 
  that 
  the 
  

   specimens 
  became 
  further 
  damaged 
  or 
  lost 
  and 
  were 
  not 
  returned 
  to 
  America. 
  They 
  are 
  not 
  

   in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  (Natural 
  History) 
  (G. 
  L. 
  Wilkins, 
  personal 
  communication). 
  

  

  The 
  original 
  description, 
  following 
  Jewett's 
  label, 
  stipulated 
  Panama 
  as 
  the 
  type 
  locality. 
  

   But 
  Carpenter 
  later 
  corrected 
  that 
  statement 
  and 
  confirmed 
  his 
  idea 
  that 
  the 
  shells 
  came 
  

   from 
  California. 
  However, 
  no 
  definite 
  California 
  locality 
  could 
  be 
  given. 
  Oldroyd 
  apparently 
  

   was 
  not 
  aware 
  of 
  Carpenter's 
  correction 
  of 
  Jewett's 
  Panama 
  label, 
  for 
  she 
  quoted 
  "Panama" 
  

   as 
  the 
  type 
  locality. 
  This 
  was 
  repeated 
  by 
  Grant 
  and 
  Gale. 
  

  

  The 
  acceptance 
  of 
  Panama 
  as 
  the 
  type 
  locality 
  probably 
  accounts 
  for 
  the 
  error 
  of 
  extend- 
  

   ing 
  the 
  distribution 
  to 
  Panama 
  (Grant 
  and 
  Gale, 
  1931, 
  p. 
  328). 
  

  

  Cooper 
  (1867) 
  corrected 
  the 
  locality 
  from 
  "Panama", 
  to 
  "Str. 
  Fuca 
  to 
  San 
  Diego". 
  

  

  The 
  types 
  are 
  not
