[TAYLOR] MARINE MOLLUSCA 83 
NATICA, Lamarck. 
292. Natica cLAUSA, Broderip and Sowerby. 
Zool. Joura., vol. iv., pt. 15, p. 372 (1829); and Zool. Voy. Blossom, p. 186, pl. xxxiv., 
fig. 3. and pi. xxxvii., fig. 6 (1839). 
Not a very common species but found in nearly all localities in 
which dredging has been carried on. 
Most of my specimens were dredged in about twenty fathoms in 
Departure Bay. The adult shell is nearly unicolorous, but the young 
are prettily marked with dark stripes. Dr. Newcombe has found this 
species fossil in the boulder clay. 
LUNATIA, Gray. 
293. LunatraA Lewistt, Gould, sp. 
Natica Lewisii, Gould, Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., vol. ii., p. 289 (July, 1847); and 
U.S, Expl. Exped., Mollusca, p. 211, fig. 253 and 253a (1852). 
Common at and above low water mark, burrowing in the sand as the 
tide recedes. The annular egg ribbons of this species are frequently 
seen on the beaches and are very puzzling to those who are unacquainted 
with their true nature. 
294. LuNATIA PALLIDA, Broderip and Sowerby, sp. 
Natica pallida, Br. & Sby., Zool. Journ., vol. iv., pt. 15, p. 372 (1829) ; and Zool. Voy. 
Blossom, p. 136, pl. xxxiv, fig. 15 (1839). 
— L. caurina and L. soluta, Gould. 
Not rare in ten to forty fathoms at Victoria and Departure Bay. 
Dr. Newcombe records it from Comox, and Dr. Dawson from Queen 
Charlotte Sound. This species may easily be distinguished from the 
young of L. Lewisii, by the shape of the whorls and by its much smaller 
umbilicus. 
LAMILLARIA, Montagu. 
295. LAMELLARIA STEARNSII, Dall. 
Amer. Journ. Conch., vol. vii, p. 122, pl. xv., figs. 2, 3 and 6 (November, 1871). 
= L. depressa, Dall, MS. 1866. 
I have only two notes of the occurrence of this shell in our waters. 
One dead specimen was dredged in Houston-Stewart Channel (Q. CI), 
in fifteen to twenty fathoms by Dr. Dawson in 1878, and a second ex- 
ample was obtained by Dr. Newcombe in Clayoquot Sound last summer. 
The original (type) specimens were found dead on the beach at Monterey.
