The Odostomias of British Columbia have not vet been satisfactorily 

 worked up. Specimens are very common both between tides and among 

 ^iredged material, and I have accumulated many hundred shells. I have 

 never yet, however, had an opportunity of either critically examining 

 these myself or submitting them to competent authority and therefore 

 cannot write with confidence upon the subject. 



Of the seven species enumerated above, two, 0. inflata and 0. tenuis- 

 culpta, are quoted on the strength of specimens collected by Swan in 

 Puget Sound. 



A third, 0. Sithensis, is recorded by Whiteaves from the (^ueen 

 Charlotte Islands and False Bay, Lasqueti Island : this species and 

 0. straminea being apparently the only ones met with b}- Dr. Dawson. 



The other four species are in my own collection. 



0. satura, or the shell that I think to be this species, is the common 

 large form in Departure Bay. 



0. nuciformi's, which is the most easilj' recognized of our species
