   Oldroyd 
  (1927) 
  furnished 
  part 
  of 
  Carpenter's 
  description 
  (1866), 
  and 
  Merriam 
  (1941) 
  

   supplied 
  a 
  complete 
  copy. 
  To 
  Oldroyd's 
  copy 
  the 
  following 
  lines 
  should 
  be 
  added 
  : 
  

  

  "Hab. 
  Sta. 
  Barbara, 
  Pleistocene 
  formation 
  (Jewett). 
  San 
  Diego, 
  on 
  beach 
  (Cassidy). 
  

  

  "This 
  species 
  comes 
  nearest 
  to 
  T. 
  sanguinea 
  Rve., 
  from 
  the 
  Gulf, 
  but 
  differs 
  in 
  the 
  faint- 
  

   ness 
  of 
  the 
  sculpture. 
  Mr. 
  Cassidy's 
  specimens 
  may 
  be 
  washed

  poor

   shells."

  In 
  1921 
  the 
  author 
  discovered 
  in 
  the 
  Jewett 
  Collection 
  of 
  the 
  Paleontological 
  Laboratory 
  

   at 
  Cornell 
  University 
  two 
  of 
  the 
  assumed 
  lost 
  types 
  of 
  the 
  article 
  in 
  which 
  T. 
  jcivetti 
  was 
  de- 
  

   scribed. 
  Unfortunately 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  T. 
  jetvetfi 
  was 
  not 
  found, 
  nor 
  has 
  it 
  turned 
  up 
  at 
  Cor- 
  

   nell 
  or 
  at 
  any 
  other 
  institution. 
  

  

  The 
  T.

  of 
  Arnold 
  and 
  others 
  from 
  the 
  Pleistocene 
  of 
  the 
  San 
  Pedro 
  area 
  was 
  

   separated 
  by 
  Esther 
  Richards 
  Applin 
  from 
  the 
  true 
  T. 
  jewetti 
  because 
  it 
  did 
  not 
  conform 
  

   with 
  the 
  original 
  remarks. 
  Her 
  manuscript 
  name, 
  T. 
  pedroensis, 
  was 
  published 
  with

  and

  The 
  problem 
  of 
  locating 
  topotypes 
  which 
  have 
  been 
  identified 
  by 
  Carpenter 
  from 
  which 
  

   a 
  neotype 
  might 
  be 
  selected 
  has 
  not 
  been 
  satisfactorily 
  solved. 
  

  

  Durham 
  furnished 
  the 
  following 
  information 
  in 
  regard 
  to 
  specimens 
  at 
  the 
  University 
  of 
  

   California 
  : 
  

  

  "There 
  are 
  two 
  specimens 
  in 
  the 
  old 
  California 
  State 
  Collection 
  under 
  number 
  549 
  la- 
  

   beled 
  as 
  'TurriteUa 
  jcwcttii 
  Cpr., 
  Santa 
  Barbara; 
  Jewett 
  Coll. 
  fossil?).' 
  These 
  specimens 
  still 
  

   have 
  the 
  color 
  markings 
  and 
  from 
  the 
  label 
  the 
  possibility 
  appears 
  to 
  me 
  that 
  they 
  might 
  be 
  

   a 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  Jewett 
  collection, 
  although 
  the 
  entire 
  label 
  is 
  a 
  printed 
  label 
  made 
  up 
  by 
  Cooper 
  

   with 
  the 
  notation 
  'Coll. 
  Cooper' 
  on 
  it." 
  

  

  The 
  writer 
  has 
  not 
  investigated 
  these 
  specimens. 
  Since 
  the 
  West 
  Coast 
  TurriteUa 
  mono- 
  

   graphs 
  were 
  prepared 
  from 
  material 
  in 
  California, 
  it 
  seems 
  the 
  specimens 
  might 
  have 
  been 
  

   considered. 
  However, 
  it 
  would 
  be 
  well 
  that 
  the 
  specimens 
  be 
  examined 
  to 
  determine 
  whether 
  

   they 
  are 
  T. 
  coopcri 
  or 
  not. 
  

  

  Woodring 
  (in 
  Woodring, 
  Bramlette, 
  and 
  Kew, 
  p. 
  69) 
  described 
  a 
  specimen 
  in 
  the 
  U. 
  S. 
  

   National 
  Aluseum 
  which 
  probably 
  had 
  been 
  examined 
  by 
  Carpenter. 
  His 
  final 
  opinion 
  was 
  

   that 
  the 
  specimen 
  was 
  doubtless 
  T. 
  cooperi. 
  The 
  writer 
  examined 
  the 
  specimen 
  and 
  agrees 
  

   with 
  Woodring 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  what 
  has 
  been 
  identified 
  as 
  T. 
  cooperi. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  Redpath 
  Museum 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  specimen 
  (no. 
  3141) 
  labelled 
  by 
  Carpenter, 
  "T. 
  jewettii, 
  

   jun 
  fossil 
  Sta. 
  Barbara." 
  The 
  specimen, 
  however, 
  is 
  not 
  a 
  young 
  shell 
  as 
  stated. 
  It 
  measures
