182 WHITEAVES ON MARINE INVERTEBRATA, ETC. 
Johnstone Strait ; at Beaver Harbour, Vancouver Island; on the east side of Queen 
Charlotte Sound, and on the north and north-west coast of Vancouver Island 
between Nahwitti Bar and Quatsino Sound. Dredged also, alive, but in small 
numbers, in the Strait of Georgia at station No. 5, in Discovery Bay at station No. 
7, and in Queen Charlotte Sound at stations Nos. 12 and 17. 
LunaTIA Lewis, Gld. Low tide, entrance to Malaspina Inlet, one specimen. 
LUNATIA PALLIDA ? Broderip and Sowerby. Queen Charlotte Sound at station No. 17, two 
dead and imperfect shells. 
TRITON (PRIENE) OREGONENSIS, Redfield. Low tide in Johnstone and Broughton Straits, 
in the Goletas Channel, and on the east side of Queen Charlotte Sound, but appar- 
ently not very common. Dredged, living and adult, but in very small numbers, 
in Johnstone Strait at station No. 10, and in Queen Charlotte Sound at stations 
Nos. 11 and 12. This shell is possibly only a local variety of the Triton cancellatus 
of Lamarck, from South America. 
MARGINELLA (VOLUTELLA) PYRIFORMIS, Carpenter. Low tide in the Goletas Channel; 
dredged also in Queen Charlotte Sound at station No. 12, and in Quatsino Sound 
at station No. 20. One adult, living shell of this diminutive species at each of 
these stations. 
OLIVELLA BIPLICATA, Sowerby. Abundant, living, on the west or outer coast of Vancouver 
Island. 
OLIVELLA Batica, Carpenter. Strait of Georgia at stations Nos. 2 (frequent) and 5 (very 
abundant), also in Discovery Passage at station No. 7, and in Queen Charlotte 
Sound at station No. 16. Living, and apparently not uncommon, at each. 
CHRYSODOMUS LIRATUS, Martyn. Queen Charlotte Sound, at station No. 12, two living 
but very young specimens, with the mammillated apex beautifully preserved ; at 
station No. 16, one half-grown and dead specimen ; and at station No. 17, two fine 
adult specimens (one living), with a short spire to the shell and an unusually 
inflated or globose body whorl. 
CHRYSODOMUS DIRUS, Reeve. (Sp.) Abundant, living, at low water at the entrance to 
Malaspina Inlet and on the north shore of the Strait of Georgia; in Discovery Pas- 
sage, between Seymour Narrows and Elk Harbour; in Johnstone and Broughton 
Straits ; in the Goletas Channel, and on the east side of Queen Charlotte Sound. 
Dredged, but in small numbers, in Discovery Passage, at station No.7. The generic 
position of this species is uncertain, as the animal has not yet been described. 
The shell does not look like that of a Chrysodomus or Sipho. Tryon places it in 
the genus Euthria, but that course is not free from objections. 
SIPHON VERKRUZENI, Aobelt. Queen Charlotte Sound at station No. 17, associated with 
Neptunea lirata and other rare species; one large, dead shell, but in excellent condi- 
tion. Mr. Dall, to whom the writer is indebted for the identification of this 
specimen, writes that it had previously been found in Norway and in Behring 
Sea and Strait, but that the present is the most southerly locality yet reported for it.
