Found by the United States Exploring Expedition in Paget Sound 

 and indicated, but not described, by Gould in Expl. Exped. Mollusca, p. 

 207. The shell was obtained also by Swan at Neeah Bay and Tatooche 

 Island. 



In British Columbia I have never found 0. borealis alive, but have 

 many times received the dead shells from various points on the west 

 coast of Vancouver Island. Dr. Newcombe has been more fortunate 

 than I have and has taken living specimens at Clayoquot Sound. Pro- 

 fessor Macoun found a few very large dead specimens at Sooke.

 seas and in some localities is rather common. 



It has been dredged at Victoria, Departure Bay, Comox and Clayo- 

 quot and at numerous points in (^ueen Charlotte Sound, the Straits of 

 Georgia, Johnston Straits and at the Queen Charlotte Islands.
