[TAYLOR] MARINE MOLLUSCA 21 
Eulima incurva, Barleeia haliotiphila (recorded as subtenuis) Solariella 
peramabilis, Lepidopleurus cancellatus and Ommastrephes sagittatus. 
A few corrections may be made : 
Pecten Alaskensis.—This specimen is the type of P. Vancouverensis since 
described by Mr. Whiteaves as a new species. 
Cylichna alba.—Is again recorded, but the specimens, which I have seen, 
are undoubtedly ©. attonsa of Gould. 
Leptochiton punctatus.—A pale specimen of Zschnochiton retiporosus. 
Barleeia subtenuis.—These are B. haliotiphila. B. subtenuis is southern 
and a much larger shell. 
Trophon orpheus.—These are fine specimens of Trophon Stuarti, a perfectly 
distinct species which has been placed in the synonymy of 
T. orpheus by several conchologists who have probably not had 
the opportunity of examining many specimens. 
In Mr. Whiteaves’s fourth paper’ he describes and figures Pecten 
Vancouverensis n.sp., and puts on record two additions to our list, — 
Cumingia Californica, a southern shell, and Æmarginula crassa, a rather 
remarkable discovery, as there is not, I believe, any other record of the 
occurrence of the species in the Pacific Ocean. 
It will be seen that in these four important contributions to our 
knowledge no fewer than forty-nine species are added to Carpenter's list. 
The eftorts of other collectors during the past few years have 
resulted in a further addition of 32 names, and there is little doubt but 
that there are still many more species inhabiting our waters to be one 
day discovered by the enthusiastic conchologist. 
The local collections to which I shall refer in the present paper 
have been made by Dr. C. F. Newcombe, Professor Macoun and myself. 
Dr. Newcombe has collected diligently and successfully in the neigh- 
bourhood of Victoria; at Comox, 140 miles north of Victoria; at 
Clayoquot Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island ; and in some 
other localities. The results of his work appear in a “ Report on the 
Marine Shells of British Columbia,” which was published in February 
last in the ‘ Bulletin of the Natural History Society of British Columbia.’ 
This report contains a large amount of information on the distribution 
of our molluseca and has indeed almost rendered the present paper 
unnecessary. 
Professor Macoun collected last year (1893) at Comox, Nanaimo 
and Sooke with much success. In July last, | had the pleasure of join- 
ing the professor in a day’s dredging in Departure Bay. Using a 
home-made dredge from an ordinary sailing boat manned by three
