This is our hxrgest and finest species of Trophon. It is perfectly dis- 

 tinct from T. Orpheus and very much hirger. The type was dredged by 

 Capt. Vidler near Victoria, and passed into the hands of a London dealer, 

 from whom Mr. Smith obtained it. 



It is apparently much rarer than Orpheus, and has so far onl}- l>een 

 found at Victoria by Capt. Vidler, Dr. Xewcombe and myself, and by 

 Dr. Dawson at the three localities in Queen Charlotte Sound referred to 

 under the preceding species. Dr. Dawson's specimens were three in 

 number and very line. 



237. Trophon tenuisculptus. Carpenter. 

 Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., series 3, vol. xvii., p. 277 (April, 18()(i). 



Not rare, occurring everywhere from Victoria to the (^ueen Cluir- 

 lotte Islands in 10-30 fathoms. 



This species was described by Carjjenter as a Pleistocene fossil from 

 Sta. Barbara, California. 



238. Trophon Dallii, Kobelt. 



Mon. of Trophon in Mart. Chem. (neu. ;msg.) 

 = T. murlciformis, Dall,' Proc. Cal. Acad. Sci., vol. vii. (1S77). 



Dall's name being preoccupied, it was changed by Kobelt as above. 



The species was described from Icy Cape and Bering Sea, but has 

 been dredged near Victoria by Richardson, Newcombe and myself. It 

 seems to be very rare, and only a few specimens in all have as yet been 

 obtained. 



Trophon Dallii is well figui-ed in plate iv., figure 6. of volume ix.. of 

 the Proceedings of United States National Museum.

1 The paper in which this species was first described is entitled " Preliminary 

 description of new species of Mollusks from the northwest coast of America " ^Proc. 

 Cal. Acad. Sci., vol. vii., March, 1877). It contains also the original descrijition of 

 another of our shells, Kennerlia grandis.
