  Oldroyd 
  gave 
  a 
  copy'^ 
  of 
  Carpenter's 
  description 
  (1864b, 
  Dec), 
  and 
  it 
  will 
  therefore 
  not 
  

   be 
  repeated 
  here. 
  To 
  her 
  copy 
  should 
  be 
  added 
  : 
  

  

  "Hab. 
  Neeah 
  Bay 
  (Szvan) 
  ; 
  Monterey 
  and 
  Catalina 
  Island, 
  20-60 
  fathoms, 
  rare 
  (Cooper)."

  The 
  type 
  material 
  in 
  the 
  U. 
  S. 
  National 
  Museum 
  consists 
  of 
  one 
  double 
  and 
  one 
  single 
  

   valve 
  with 
  the 
  label 
  bearing 
  both 
  Catalina 
  Island 
  and 
  Neah 
  Bay, 
  with 
  no 
  means 
  of 
  co-ordin- 
  

   ating 
  either 
  specimen 
  with 
  its 
  proper 
  locality. 
  Since 
  the 
  two 
  localities 
  arc 
  w^idely 
  separated, 
  a 
  

   decision 
  based 
  on 
  choosing 
  a 
  lectotype 
  from 
  the 
  syntypes 
  and 
  identifying 
  the 
  locality 
  as 
  near 
  

   as 
  possible 
  with 
  topotypes 
  from 
  either 
  of 
  the 
  two 
  localities 
  would 
  seem 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  means 
  of 
  

   solving 
  a 
  technical 
  dilemma. 
  The 
  decision 
  may 
  have 
  to 
  be 
  arbitrary, 
  but 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  necessary 
  

   to 
  furnish 
  a 
  definite 
  type 
  locality. 
  The 
  lack 
  of 
  topotypes 
  prevents 
  such 
  a 
  selection 
  in 
  the 
  

   present 
  study.
