[TAYLOR] MARINE MOLLUSCA 55 
Dr. Newcombe informs me that he has lately found on the beach 
near Victoria a shell which Dr. Dall has determined for him as Penitella 
tubifera, Sby. Tryon has also described Penitella curvata, from the 
Straits of Fuca (Amer. Jour. Conch. vol. i., p. 40, pl. ii, fig. 6, 7 and 8 
(1865).. 
ZIRPH AA, Leach. 
123. ZIRPHHA CRISPATA, Linne, sp. 
Pholas crispata, Linn., Syst. Nat., ed. xii., vol. i., pt. 2. p. 1111, no. 25 (1767). 
This species is not uncommon in Europe and on the eastern coasts 
of America. In the Pacitic it is recorded by Carpenter as from Puget 
Sound (two specimens Dr. Kennerley) and with a query from Swan’s 
collection. 
Dr. Dawson found a large worn right valve on the beach north of 
Cumshewa Harbour, Queen Charlotte Islands, and I found some fine 
specimens living in sand between tides at Cordova Bay ten years ago, but 
have never had an opportunity of revisiting that locality and have not 
been fortunate enough to find specimens anywhere else. 
XYLOPHAGA, Turton. 
124. XYLOPHAGA DORSALIS, Turton, sp. 
Teredo dorsalis, Turton, Conch. Dict., p. 185. 
Specimens taken by myself in 1888 were I believe the first noted on 
the Pacific coast of America. They were found living in small pieces 
of drift wood dredged up in Departure Bay. The shell has since been 
found near Victoria by Dr. Newcombe. 
XYLOTRYA, Leach: 
125. XYLOTRYA BIPINNATA, Turton, sp. 
Teredo bipennata, Turton, Conch. Dict. 
126. XYLOTRYA FIMBRIATA, Jeffreys. 
Teredo fimbriata, Jett., Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., 1860, p. 126. 
Both these Teredines are said by Carpenter to occur at Vancouver 
Island. All the specimens | have taken so far seem to belong to the 
first named species, but I must admit that I have given but little 
attention to these shells and have collected very few specimens. 
Dr. Newcombe in his catalogue records X. fimbriata from Victoria
