  Specimen 
  no. 
  4636 
  (14889 
  R132), 
  U. 
  S. 
  National 
  Museum, 
  is 
  labelled, 
  "Type 
  Monterey 
  

   Harbor." 
  It 
  is 
  the 
  specimen 
  which 
  Bormann 
  (1946) 
  figured 
  and 
  of 
  which 
  an 
  illustration 
  is 
  

   included 
  herein. 
  Tlie 
  writer 
  does 
  not 
  believe 
  that 
  the 
  facts 
  warrant 
  saying 
  (as 
  Bormann 
  

   stated, 
  Burch, 
  1947, 
  no. 
  71, 
  p. 
  7), 
  that 
  the 
  type 
  was 
  figured 
  in 
  Dall 
  (1921) 
  and 
  repeated 
  in 
  

   Oldroyd 
  (1927). 
  The 
  explanation 
  of 
  that 
  figure 
  reads, 
  "typical," 
  and 
  the 
  drawing, 
  which 
  may 
  

   be 
  a 
  composite 
  sketch, 
  does 
  not 
  depict 
  the 
  exact 
  features 
  of 
  the 
  "type." 
  

  

  Carpenter 
  unconsciously 
  bequeathed 
  an 
  error 
  in 
  the 
  matter 
  of 
  the 
  type 
  locality. 
  In 
  his 
  

   first 
  brief 
  description 
  (1864b). 
  Carpenter 
  included 
  shells 
  from 
  Monterey, 
  Farallones, 
  and 
  the 
  

   Strait 
  of 
  Juan 
  de 
  Fuca. 
  However, 
  in 
  the 
  complete 
  description 
  (1865). 
  the 
  California 
  locali- 
  

   ties 
  are 
  not 
  mentioned. 
  

  

  To 
  be 
  able 
  to 
  validate 
  tlie 
  above-labelled 
  type 
  (no. 
  4636, 
  U. 
  S. 
  National 
  Museum), 
  Car- 
  

   penter's 
  earlier 
  description 
  (1864) 
  must 
  be 
  accepted 
  as 
  adequate. 
  Those 
  brief 
  lines 
  are 
  hardly 
  

   complete. 
  If 
  the 
  specific 
  description 
  dates 
  from 
  1865 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  consistent 
  to 
  have 
  a 
  holotype 
  or 
  

   lectotype 
  from 
  a 
  locality 
  which 
  is 
  not 
  mentioned 
  in 
  that 
  description. 
  

  

  J. 
  Wyatt 
  Durham 
  informed 
  the 
  writer 
  that 
  there 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  Department 
  of 
  Paleontology, 
  

   University 
  of 
  California, 
  two 
  specimens 
  (not 
  the 
  same 
  species), 
  no. 
  47-402, 
  labelled 
  TrifoH- 
  

   aim 
  intcrfossa, 
  which 
  apparently 
  had 
  been 
  segregated 
  because 
  they 
  might 
  be 
  types. 
  The 
  writer 
  

   doubts 
  their 
  status 
  as 
  types 
  because 
  of 
  the 
  absence 
  of 
  authentic 
  type 
  label. 
  The 
  lack 
  of 
  local- 
  

   ity 
  label 
  would 
  eliminate 
  those 
  specimens 
  from 
  availability 
  as 
  "lectotype." 
  

  

  The 
  specimen, 
  U. 
  S. 
  National 
  Museum 
  no. 
  4636, 
  is 
  the 
  only 
  "type" 
  so 
  far 
  found. 
  In 
  spite 
  

   of 
  the 
  inconsistency 
  of 
  its 
  locale 
  it 
  would 
  seem 
  best 
  to 
  assume 
  that 
  the 
  selection 
  was 
  made 
  by 
  

   Carpenter 
  ; 
  therefore, 
  the 
  specimen 
  is 
  a 
  holotype.
