  (1857b, 
  p. 
  192-202). 
  By 
  1864 
  he 
  realized 
  that 
  Conrad 
  had 
  not 
  used 
  Nuttall's 
  name 
  in 
  descrip- 
  

   tion. 
  Also 
  in 
  1864 
  Carpenter 
  began 
  to 
  include 
  Puget 
  Sound- 
  Vancouver 
  Island 
  specimens 
  in 
  

   the 
  distribution 
  of 
  the 
  species, 
  for 
  he 
  then 
  identified 
  the 
  species 
  from 
  Dr. 
  Kennerley's 
  and 
  

   J. 
  G. 
  Swan's 
  material. 
  If 
  the 
  meagre 
  lines 
  of 
  description 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  (1864b, 
  p. 
  638) 
  by 
  

   Carpenter 
  should 
  constitute 
  description 
  the 
  type 
  locality 
  could 
  be 
  either 
  in 
  Washington 
  or 
  

   California. 
  

  

  When 
  Carpenter 
  fully 
  described 
  the 
  species 
  (1865e) 
  the 
  material 
  that 
  from 
  his 
  descrip- 
  

   tion 
  would 
  qualify 
  as 
  type 
  material 
  was 
  that 
  of 
  Dr. 
  Kennerley 
  from 
  the 
  Puget 
  Sound 
  region 
  

   (see 
  title 
  of 
  paper). 
  

  

  The 
  above 
  analysis 
  is 
  pertinent 
  to 
  establish 
  a 
  lectotype 
  for 
  the 
  name 
  Carpenter 
  used 
  for 
  

   this 
  species 
  and 
  hence 
  verify 
  its 
  identity 
  with 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  previously 
  named 
  by 
  

   Conrad. 
  

  

  Early 
  material 
  of 
  the 
  Carpenter 
  species 
  so 
  far 
  discovered 
  are 
  two 
  specimens 
  in 
  the 
  

   British 
  Museum 
  (Natural 
  History), 
  Mollusca 
  Section 
  (G. 
  L. 
  Wilkins, 
  June 
  16, 
  and 
  July 
  10, 
  

   1950, 
  personal 
  commvmication) 
  labelled 
  Psammohia 
  ruhroradiata 
  Nuttall 
  from 
  California, 
  in 
  

   the 
  Cuming 
  Collection 
  with 
  an 
  ancient 
  notation 
  "Neiah 
  Bay" 
  on 
  the 
  back 
  of 
  the 
  tablet 
  bearing 
  

   the 
  shells. 
  Mr. 
  Wilkins 
  w-rote, 
  

  

  "I 
  have 
  further 
  examined 
  the 
  two 
  shells 
  labelled 
  ruhroradiata 
  and 
  have 
  come 
  to 
  the 
  con- 
  

   clusion 
  that 
  there 
  are 
  two 
  species 
  on 
  the 
  tablet, 
  the 
  largest 
  of 
  which 
  has 
  pinkish 
  radiations 
  on 
  

   the 
  outside 
  of 
  the 
  shell, 
  inside 
  pure 
  white 
  and 
  came 
  from 
  the 
  Cuming 
  coll. 
  

  

  "There 
  seems 
  little 
  doubt 
  therefore 
  that 
  the 
  shell 
  was 
  sent 
  to 
  Cuming 
  by 
  Nuttall 
  or 
  Jay 
  

   with 
  the 
  manuscript 
  label 
  which 
  is 
  now 
  attached 
  to 
  the 
  back 
  of 
  the 
  tablet, 
  with 
  the 
  locality 
  

   'Neiah 
  Bay.' 
  " 
  

  

  The 
  Neah 
  Bay 
  label 
  might 
  identify 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  specimens 
  from 
  the 
  Swan 
  collection, 
  for 
  that 
  

   is 
  the 
  material 
  Carpenter 
  referred 
  to 
  in 
  1864. 
  Swan 
  and 
  the 
  InSian 
  children 
  were 
  the 
  chief 
  

   collectors 
  of 
  material 
  which 
  Carpenter 
  worked 
  on 
  from 
  Neah 
  Bay, 
  Washington. 
  There 
  

   could 
  be 
  a 
  mixture 
  of 
  labels 
  and 
  specimens, 
  and 
  material 
  from 
  both 
  areas 
  could 
  have 
  been 
  

   grouped 
  together. 
  

  

  G. 
  L. 
  Wilkins 
  wrote 
  (March 
  2, 
  1951 
  and 
  July 
  10, 
  1951 
  personal 
  communication) 
  that 
  cer- 
  

   tain 
  specimens 
  of 
  the 
  Nuttall 
  Collection 
  were 
  available 
  and 
  included 
  "Sangumolaria 
  ruhroradi- 
  

   ata 
  Conrad." 
  This 
  shell 
  was 
  one 
  of 
  a 
  lot 
  purchased 
  by 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  in 
  1861 
  from 
  

   Nuttall's 
  executors. 
  The 
  specimen, 
  of 
  which 
  a 
  photograph 
  is 
  included, 
  has 
  on 
  the 
  front 
  of 
  

   the 
  tablet 
  which 
  bears 
  the 
  specimen, 
  "Sanquinolaria 
  ruhroradiata

  On 
  

   the 
  back 
  is 
  the 
  following, 
  "Sanquinolaria 
  ruhroradiata
