  not 
  report 
  tlie 
  species 
  from 
  the 
  coast 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  of 
  California. 
  The 
  type 
  is 
  

   figured 
  in 
  this 
  report 
  because 
  of 
  the 
  possible 
  extension 
  into 
  the 
  California 
  fauna.

  This 
  species 
  was 
  described 
  from 
  Mazatlan 
  by 
  Carpenter. 
  The 
  type 
  should 
  be, 
  therefore, 
  

   in 
  the 
  Mazatlan 
  Collection 
  at 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  (Natural 
  History). 
  The 
  illustration 
  of 
  the 
  

   type 
  would 
  be 
  properly 
  with 
  the 
  figuring 
  of 
  that 
  collection. 
  The 
  species 
  is 
  included 
  herein 
  

   because 
  the 
  range 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  has 
  been 
  described 
  as 
  extending 
  north 
  to 
  the 
  Santa 
  Barbara 
  

   region 
  (Keen, 
  1937). 
  Burch 
  (1945, 
  no. 
  43, 
  p. 
  23) 
  enumerated 
  the 
  problems 
  involved 
  in 
  the 
  

   questionable 
  identifications 
  of 
  the 
  species.

  (1893,

  pointed 
  out 
  that 
  the 
  

   Solen 
  vagina 
  of 
  Linnaeus 
  was 
  a 
  mixture 
  of 
  a 
  European 
  species 
  (later 
  named 
  5". 
  marginatiis 
  

   Pennant, 
  1774) 
  and 
  an 
  Indian 
  species. 
  The 
  Linnaean 
  reference 
  in 
  Rumphius 
  is 
  to 
  a 
  shell 
  

   abruptly 
  truncated 
  anteriorly

  The 
  reference 
  to 
  Schumacher 
  given 
  by 
  authors 
  as 
  type 
  designator 
  is 
  not 
  valid. 
  Although 
  

   no 
  designation 
  was 
  made, 
  a 
  single 
  species, 
  .S". 
  ragi)ui

  was 
  listed, 
  so 
  that 
  the

   status

  the 
  same 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  the
