  To 
  the 
  republished 
  Carpenter 
  description 
  of 
  1865 
  in 
  Oldroyd 
  (1924, 
  p. 
  176) 
  the 
  following 
  

  

  should 
  be 
  added 
  : 
  

  

  "Hab.

  [Carpenter, 
  1865e, 
  p.

  The 
  "holotype" 
  consists 
  of 
  one 
  left 
  valve 
  labelled, 
  "Type. 
  Neeah 
  Bay, 
  J. 
  G. 
  Swan." 
  On 
  

   the 
  back 
  of 
  the 
  label 
  the 
  inscription 
  "also 
  14842-15587 
  San 
  Pedro, 
  Cooper. 
  (Puget 
  Sound)" 
  

   is 
  given. 
  

  

  Kennerley 
  is 
  stipulated 
  as 
  the 
  collector 
  of 
  the 
  original 
  Puget 
  Sound 
  specimen 
  mentioned 
  

   by 
  Carpenter. 
  Since 
  the 
  present 
  marked 
  type 
  has 
  "J. 
  G. 
  Swan,"*^ 
  it 
  is 
  apparent 
  that 
  the 
  Swan 
  

   specimen 
  is 
  not 
  the 
  individual 
  specified 
  in 
  the 
  original 
  description. 
  

  

  Inasmuch 
  as 
  the 
  present 
  "type" 
  is 
  from 
  the 
  general 
  type 
  locality 
  and 
  no 
  other 
  specimen 
  

   labelled 
  "type" 
  has 
  been 
  preserved, 
  the 
  specimen 
  in 
  the 
  U. 
  S. 
  National 
  Museum 
  would 
  be 
  

   appropriate 
  to 
  be 
  designated 
  as 
  a 
  neotype.
