220. Chrysodomus Kennicottii, Dsill. 



Bucchium Kennicottii, Dall, Amer. Journ. Conch., vol. vii., p. 108, pi. xv., tig. 1 



(November, 1871). 

 Chri/sodomus Kennicottii, Dall, Proc. Cal. Acad. Sci., vol. Iv., p. 271 (October, 1872). 



A single dead specimen was dredged by me in the same place and at 

 the same time as the specimens of C. fornicatus mentioned above. The 

 species was described b3^ Dall from Unalashka. 



221. Chrysodomus tabulatus, Baird. 

 Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1863, p. (56, pi. i., fig. 1. 



This is our most abundant sjiecies of Chrysodomus, though at present 

 we have only found it in the southern pai'ts of the j)rovince. 



It is dredged quite commonly near Victoria, in 10-20 fathoms. 



The dead shells, usually tenanted by large hermit crabs, often con- 

 tain also beautiful specimens of Crepidula navicelloides. 



222. Chrysodomus Harpordi, Stearns. 



Fusus (f Chrysodomus) Harfordi, Stearn.s, Proc. Cal. Acad. Sci., vol. v., p. 79 (1873). 



The type specimens of C. Harfordi were found in Mendocino County, 

 California (Harford) and the Farallones (Watkins). The .single example 

 found in British Columbia was taken alive by Dr. Dawson on rocks at 

 low water in Houston-Stewart Channel, Queen Charlotte Islands, and is 

 now in the museum of the Geological Surv'ey at Ottawa. For an extended 

 description of this species, see Dall " On the California species of Fusus," 

 in Proc. Cal. Acad. Sci., vol. vii., 1877. 



223. Chrysodomus rectirostris, Carpenter. 



Rept. Brit. Assoc, 1863, p. 664 (August, 1864) ; and Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 



186.5, p. 64, 

 = Si2}ho angustus, E. A. Smith, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., series 5, vol. vi., p. 287 (1880). 



This species was described b}^ Carj^enter from a single specimen 

 taken by Ivennerley in Puget Sound. The type, which is preserved in 

 the United States ]N"ational Museum, was not in good condition, and 

 Carj^enter's original description will hardly apply to perfect specimens. 

 Hence the species has been redescribed by Mr. F. A. Smith as Sipho 

 angustus. 



It is not a common shell. Eichardson dredged three living speci- 

 mens near Victoria in 1875, Dr. Newcombe has taken one or more in 

 the same place, and I have a single dead shell also taken near Victoria. 



My specimen was compared with Carpenter's tj'pe bj' Dr. Dall and 

 Avith the type of angustus by Mr. F. A. Smith and myself, .so that there 

 can be no doubt as to the synon3-my.
