Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., vol. vii., pt. 2, p. 248, pl. xix., fig. 20 (1837). 
= nitida bracteata, Gould; (according to Carpenter.) 
Common everywhere in sand between tides. I have taken at 
Victoria an unusually large form which at first I was tempted to treat 
as a distinct species, but Dr. Dall who kindly examined it considers it to 
be merely a northern variety of Californica. 
ENTODESMA, Philippi. 
107. ENTODESMA SAXICOLA, Baird, sp. 
Lyonsia særicola, Baird, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1863, p. 70, pl. ii., fig. 14.

Generally distributed ; living in crevices of the rocks between tide 
marks, but not found anywhere in large numbers. 
MYTILIMERIA, Conrad. 
108. MyTiLIMERIA NUTTALLI, Conrad. 
Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., vol. vii., pt. 2, p. 247, pl. xix., fig. 5 (1837). 
Never yet found by usin any numbers but apparently generally 
distributed, Living specimens have been taken at the Queen Charlotte 
Islands and Victoria; dead shells at Comox (“very large” Harvey), 
Clayoquot Sound and elsewhere. 
CUSPIDARIA, Nardo. 
109. CUSPIDARIA PECTINATA, Carpenter, sp. 
Newra pectinata, Cpr., Rept. Brit. Assoc., 1863, p. 637 (Augt., 1864) ; and Proc. Acad. 
Nat. Sci. Phila., 1865, p. 54. 
The generic name Neæra, Gray (1834), is said to be preoccupied in 
Diptera. 
C. pectinata is recorded by Carpenter from Puget Sound (1 specimen, 
Dr. Kennerley). It seems to be quite a common shell with us, having 
been taken in from 10 to 20 fathoms, in all the localities in which we 
have dredged. The shells are usually somewhat less than half an inch 
in length, but Mr. Whiteaves records an extraordinarily large example 
from Quatsino Sound measuring 21 x 13 mm.
