  Oldroyd 
  (1927)

  (1865)

  a

  Ten 
  specimens 
  at 
  the 
  Redpath 
  Museum 
  in 
  the 
  Carpenter 
  collection 
  are 
  labelled 
  "type 
  

   Neeah 
  Bay 
  Swan." 
  These 
  are 
  on 
  the 
  original 
  Carpenter 
  glass 
  mounts, 
  and 
  the 
  label 
  is 
  the 
  

   original 
  made 
  by 
  Carpenter. 
  Of 
  the 
  10 
  specimens, 
  5 
  are 
  figured 
  herein 
  to 
  show 
  how 
  constant 
  

   or 
  inconstant 
  the 
  characters 
  may 
  be. 
  The 
  specimens 
  are 
  worn, 
  but 
  they 
  reveal 
  the 
  pre- 
  

   dominant 
  factors 
  of 
  the 
  species. 
  Ball's 
  (1919) 
  figure 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  (same 
  in 
  Oldroyd) 
  is 
  of 
  

   a 
  shell 
  typical 
  in 
  shape 
  and 
  basic 
  rib 
  character, 
  although 
  the 
  spacing 
  of 
  the 
  spiral 
  ribs 
  of 
  the 
  

   posterior 
  body 
  whorl 
  belong 
  to 
  an 
  irregular 
  kind. 
  Dall 
  does 
  not 
  e.xplain 
  where 
  the 
  specimen 
  

   came 
  from. 
  

  

  Besides 
  the 
  syntypes 
  in 
  the 
  Redpath 
  Museum 
  there 
  is 
  also 
  a 
  specimen 
  labelled 
  "type" 
  

   in 
  the 
  U. 
  S. 
  National 
  Museum. 
  That 
  specimen 
  has 
  been 
  examined 
  by 
  Bartsch 
  and 
  will 
  

   probably 
  be 
  reported 
  on 
  by 
  him. 
  

  

  The 
  shells 
  figured 
  by 
  Arnold 
  (1907) 
  and 
  Packard 
  are 
  not 
  typical.

  Oldroyd 
  furnished 
  a 
  copy 
  of 
  Carpenter's 
  description 
  (1865) 
  in 
  her 
  monograph 
  (1927). 
  

   Her 
  copy 
  should 
  be 
  corrected 
  as 
  follows 
  :

  The 
  date 
  of 
  Mitromorpha 
  in 
  Oldroyd 
  (1927, 
  p. 
  173) 
  has 
  evidently 
  been 
  transposed 
  

   in 
  printing. 
  The 
  statement 
  of 
  type 
  species 
  as 
  "Mitromorpha 
  gracilis 
  Carpenter" 
  is 
  a 
  confusion 
  

   following 
  Arnold 
  (1903) 
  who 
  said 
  it 
  was 
  a 
  "characteristic 
  species". 
  The 
  name 
  is 
  a 
  nomen 
  

   nudum 
  in 
  both 
  Arnold 
  (1903, 
  p. 
  223) 
  and 
  Oldroyd 
  (1927, 
  p. 
  173). 
  M. 
  gracilior 
  Tryon 
  

   (1884) 
  (Hemphill 
  ms.) 
  was 
  not 
  described 
  until 
  1884.
