JVote on Mollusks and Radi.Ues from Labrador. 



Believing that one useful function of the " Naturalist " is the 

 publication of local lists of species, we insert the following cata- 

 logue of specimens, collected on the coast of Labrador by Mr. C. 

 C. Carpenter, a missionary sent to that region under the auspices 

 of a Society in Montreal. They were obtained principally at 

 Esquimaux Bay and other places in the vicinity of the Straits of 

 Belleisle : — 



Buccinum undo turn — largest specimen 3^ inches in length. 



Trophon (Fusus) Scalariforme, a specimen an inch and three 

 lines in length. 



Hostel laria occidentalis — of rather large size. 



Littorina rudis. 



L. littorea (palliata). 



Margarita helecina (Arctica). 



Lottia (Tectura) testudinalis — -some specimens more than an 

 inch in diameter. 



Saxicava rugosa — in Nullipores, which seem to be very large 

 and abundant. 



Mya. arenaria — of very small size. 



Solen ensis — large specimens. 



TellinaGroenlandica — abundant, and sometimes highly colored. 



My til as edulis — Some of the specimens approach very nearly 

 in their ovate forms and strong growth lines to those found in 

 the tertiary clays. 



Pec ten Magellanicus. 



Echinus granulatus — common, and of ordinary size.
