[TAYLOR] MARINE MOLLUSC'A 19 



Many of these species were only known, in Carpenter's time, from 

 Puget Sound (that is to say United States) localities, but aa nearly all of 

 them have already been found to occur in British Columbian waters 

 also, we take it for granted that the others will all eventuall}- be found 

 within our limits. 



In the present paper 284 marine species arc noted as follows :

If we add our 67 land and fresh water species we have a total of 

 351 as being the number of British Columbian mollusca at present 

 known. 



Of the 81 additions to the list since 1864. more than one-half will 

 be found recorded in the four papers, by Mr. J, F. Whiteaves, which 

 must now be considered. 



The tirst of these is an account of a collection made by Mr. J. 

 Eichardson of the Greological Survey of Canada on the east coast of 

 Vancouver I.sland in 1874-75. It is entitled '• On some Marine Inver- 

 tebrata from the west coast of i^oi^th Amei'ica " and it was published in 

 the Canadian Naturalist,' vol. viii.. ^N". S. No. 8, December, 1878. 



Eleven species are herein added to our list, one of them '• Cardium 

 Bichardsoni " being described as new to science. This shell has. however, 

 turned out to be equivalent to Carpenter's C. centifilomm. The other 

 additions are : 



Megerlia Jeffreys)., Modiolaria nigra, Serripes Laperousii, Kennerlia 

 grandis, Pholadidea ovoidea, Surcula perversa, Buccinum polare, Trophon 

 tenuisculptus, Trophon muriciformis (=Did\n) and ''Margarita Vahlii.' 

 This last shell, which I have seen in the Geological Museum, Ottawa, 

 is a specimen of the Solariella varicosa of Mighels and Adams, but though 

 wrongly identified by Mr. Whiteaves. is none the less an addition to our 

 list. 



Mr. Whiteavess second paper is a more elaborate one. It is '• On 

 some Marine Invertebrata from the Queen Charlotte Islands '" and forms 

 an appendix (C) to the report of Dr. G. M. Dawson on his ex]ilorations
