[taylok] marine M0LLUSC:A 55 



Dr. Newcombe informs me thtit he litis lately found on the beach 

 near Victoria a shell which Dr. Dall has determined for him as Penitella 

 tubifera, Sby. Try on has also described Penitella curvata, from the 

 Straits of Fuca (Amer. Jour. Conch, vol. i.. }>. 4(1, ]i1. ii., fig. 6. *7 and 8 

 (1865).

This species is not uncommon in Kuro])e and on the eastern coasts 

 of America. In the Pacific it is recorded by Carpenter as from Paget 

 Sound (two specimens Dr. Kennerley) and with a query from Swan's 

 collection . 



Dr. Dawson found a large worn right valve on the beach north of 

 Cumshewa Harbour, (^ueen Charlotte Islands, and I found some fine 

 specimens living in sand between tides at Cordova Bay ten years ago, but 

 have never had an opportunity of revisiting that locality and have not 

 been fortunate enough to find specimens anywhere else.

Teredo (forsnlis, Turton, Couch. Ulct., p. ISo. 



Specimens taken by myself in 1888 were I believe the first noted on 

 the Pacific coast of America. They were found living in small pieces 

 of drift wood dredged up in Departui'e Bay. The shell has since been 

 found near Victoria l)y Dr. Newcombe.

 Teredo fitiibriafo, Jett'., Ann. Masr. Nat. Hi.st., 18()0, p. 12(i. 



Both these Teredines are said by Carpenter to occur at \'ancoiiver 

 Island. All the specimens i have taken so far seem to belong to the 

 first named species, but I must admit that I have given but little 

 attention to these shells and have collected very few specimens.
