Sound, but no recent collectors, with the exception of myself, seem to 
have observed it. 
As Carpenter remarks, our shells “exactly accord with British 
specimens.”

Rept. Brit. Assoc., 1863, p. 643 (August, 1864); and Proc. Acad. Nat. Sei. Phila., 
1865, p. 58. 
Common in sand between tide marks all round the coast of Van- 
couver Island and northward to Queen Charlotte Islands. 
The specimen recorded by Whiteaves from Virago Sound as Turtonia 
minuta, O. Fab., belongs to the present species. I believe that a species 
of Turtonia is found in the Alaska province, but our shell does not: 
belong to that genus. 
CRYPTODON, Turton. 
53. CRYPTODON SERICATUS, Carpenter. 
Rept. Brit. Assoc., 1863, p. 643 (August, 1864); and Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 
1865, p. 57. 
Extremely common in sand below low water mark wherever we, 
have dredged—Esquimalt, Victoria, Sooke, Departure Bay, Comox, 
west coast of Vancouver Island, and the Queen Charlotte Islands. 

54. CRYPTODON FLEXUOSUS, Montagu, sp. 
Tellina flexuosa, Mont., Test. Brit., suppl. p. 72 (1808). 
A very rare species in this province, though common in the British 
seas. 
It was first found on the west American coast by Dr. J. G. Cooper 
who dredged it in 120 fathoms near the Catalina Islands. 
Dr. Dawson dredged three perfect specimens in 111 fathoms at 
Dixon entrance, Queen Charlotte Islands, and obtained it also in shallow 
water at False Bay, Straits of Georgia (four specimens), and Quatsino 
Sound (two specimens). | have myself dredged dead valves in Departure 
Bay. 
Jeffreys gives its range in the British seas as three to eighty-seven 
fathoms. 
LUCINA, Bruguiére. 
55. LucINA TENUISCULPTA, Carpenter. 
Rept. Brit. Assoc., 1863, p. 642 (August, 1864); and Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 
1865, p. 57. 
A very common species, having the same station as Cryptodon seri- 
catus, and occurring in the same localities. It varies a good deal in
