  Pilsbry 
  renamed 
  the 
  Pacific 
  Coast 
  shells 
  which 
  Carpenter 
  had 
  identified 
  as 
  the 
  Linnaean 
  

   species 
  from 
  the 
  Mediterranean. 
  Tiie 
  original 
  description 
  dates 
  from 
  Pilsbry. 
  Unfortunately 
  

   Pilsbry 
  did 
  not 
  specify 
  the 
  locality 
  of 
  the 
  specimens 
  figured 
  ; 
  the 
  type 
  has 
  not 
  been 
  separated. 
  

   The 
  type 
  is 
  not 
  at 
  the 
  Academy 
  of 
  Natural 
  Sciences 
  at 
  Philadelphia, 
  as 
  stated 
  by 
  Oldroyd 
  and 
  

   followed 
  by 
  Grant 
  and 
  Gale. 
  The 
  specimens 
  from 
  which 
  a 
  lectotype 
  could 
  properly 
  be 
  chosen 
  

   is 
  the 
  material 
  in 
  the 
  U. 
  S. 
  National 
  Museum 
  identified 
  by 
  Carpenter 
  and 
  studied 
  by 
  Pilsbry. 
  

   There 
  are 
  many 
  lots 
  including 
  hundreds 
  of 
  shells 
  in 
  the 
  U. 
  S. 
  National 
  Museum 
  collections 
  

   made 
  by 
  individuals 
  since 
  Carpenter's 
  and 
  Pilsbry's 
  time. 
  Those 
  lots 
  would 
  not 
  qualify 
  for 
  

   lectotype 
  material. 
  There 
  are 
  five 
  specimens, 
  U. 
  S. 
  National 
  Museum 
  no. 
  15536, 
  possibly 
  a 
  

   type 
  lot, 
  labelled 
  "Neeah 
  Bay, 
  W. 
  T. 
  J. 
  G. 
  Swan." 
  The 
  specimens 
  are 
  large 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  meas- 
  

   urements 
  provided 
  by 
  Pilsbry 
  (8 
  mm. 
  X 
  8.9 
  mm.). 
  No. 
  14813b 
  is 
  a 
  dark 
  form, 
  measuring 
  

   5mm. 
  X 
  5 
  mm., 
  which 
  could 
  be 
  the 
  specimen 
  mentioned 
  by 
  Pilsbry. 
  There 
  is 
  also 
  one 
  speci- 
  

   men, 
  U. 
  S. 
  National 
  Museum, 
  no. 
  6186, 
  labelled 
  "Monterey, 
  Cooper, 
  Taylor." 
  These 
  speci- 
  

   mens 
  definitely 
  meet 
  the 
  required 
  labels 
  of 
  Carpenter's 
  description.

  By 
  choosing 
  a 
  lectotype 
  from 
  lot 
  no. 
  15536, 
  the 
  problem 
  of 
  the 
  type 
  locality 
  would 
  

   also 
  be 
  settled. 
  Until 
  a 
  lectotype 
  is 
  chosen 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  basis 
  for 
  the 
  statement 
  that 
  the 
  type 
  

   locality 
  is 
  "California." 
  Carpenter's 
  material 
  came 
  from 
  Monterey, 
  California, 
  and 
  Neah 
  

   Bay, 
  Washington. 
  Pilsbry's 
  remarks 
  stipulated 
  only 
  the 
  range 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  from 
  "Cape 
  St. 
  

   Lucas, 
  L. 
  California 
  to 
  Vancouver 
  Id.," 
  without 
  selecting 
  a 
  type 
  locality. 
  

  

  Technically 
  this 
  is 
  not 
  a 
  Carpenter 
  specific 
  name, 
  and 
  the 
  writer 
  prefers 
  not 
  to 
  select 
  a 
  

   lectotype 
  at 
  this 
  time 
  but 
  leave 
  the 
  matter 
  open 
  to 
  one 
  who 
  may 
  study 
  the 
  species.
