and to refer to Moera salmonea. A. variegatus is not rare on the Cali- 
fornian coasts.

This shell is recorded by Dr. Newcombe in his paper in the “ Bulle- 
tin of the Natural History Society of British Columbia” as having been 
found by himself at Comox. He adds to his note: “ Mr. Dall states that 
these may be the young of 7. inflatula.”

This species appears to be confined, in this province, to the western 
and northern coasts of Vancouver Island. 
Dr. Dawson took six living specimens between Nahwitti Bar and 
Quatsino Sound, and Dr. Newcombe found specimens, also living, at low 
water at Clayoquot Sound. 
I have seen a few specimens from other west coast localities, but 
have never taken this species on the eastern side of the island,

Of our many native Macomas this is the first and finest. It is 
found in sand near low water in nearly all the localities examined ; 
specimens from the west coast appearing to be rather larger and heavier 
than those from the neighbourhood of Victoria. 
Dr. Newcombe, in his paper so often quoted, credits Dr. Dawson 
with having taken this species at the Queen Charlotte Islands, but I 
cannot find the record in Mr. Whiteaves’s report of Dr. Dawson’s collec- 
tions. As before mentioned, Dr. Dawson does not appear to have made 
any special search for shore shells, and may therefore easily have over- 
looked this species, which, however, doubtless occurs in the localities he 
visited. 
Carpenter speaks of a variety edulis, Nuttall, as being the northern 
form of seeta, and as occurring in Puget Sound.

This and the next named species are very abundant between tides 
on all our coasts, and in their season are often exposed for sale in the 
Victoria markets.
