VELUTINA, Fleming. 
296. VELUTINA LÆVIGATA (Linn.) Auct. 
This shell has long gone under the above name but, as many authors 
have pointed out, it cannot be the Helix lævigata of Linne [Syst. Nat. 
ed. xil., vol, 1, pt. 2, p. 1250, no. 709 (1767) ] the description of which is 
quite inapplicable to our shell. Jeffreys (Brit. Conch., vol. iv., p. 242) 
retains the Res name but quotes Pennant (Brit. Zool., vol. iv., p. 140, 
pl. Ixxxvi., fig. 139) as the authority, his description and fone being 
in accord ae the shell in question. 
Several American conchologists have used the name haliotoides, O. 
Fab., but though the species under consideration is no doubt the halio- 
toides of Fabricius, it is not the haliotoides of Müller or of Linne, both 
earlier in date than Fabricius. (Jeffreys.) 
V. levigata, if we may continue for the present to call it by this 
name, is not uncommon, attached to stones and shells dredged in ten to 
thirty fathoms. It has been found at Victoria, Departure Bay, Comox, 
Clayoquot Sound (Dr. Newcombe) and Discovery Passage (Dr. Dawson.) 
297. VELUTINA PROLONGATA, Carpenter. 
Rept. Brit. Assoc., 1863, p. 661 (August, 1864); and Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., series 3, 
vol. xv., p. 32 (January, 1865). 
This is a rare species. Carpenter described it as rare in Swan’s 
collection and since that time it has only been found in British Colum- 
bia by Dr. Newcombe, who took some very large specimens between 
tides at Victoria and who has found others at the roots of Macrocystis at 
Clayoquot Sound. 
V. prolongata has been found, according to Dr. Dall, both to the 
north and to the south of us, from Sitka to Monterey.

Those who wish information as to the rather extensive synonymy 
of this and other west coast limpets are referred to the papers of Drs. 
Carpenter * and Dall * in the American Journal of Conchology ; of Dr. 
Dall * in the ‘ Proceedings of the United States National Museum,’ and of 
Dr. Pilsbry in volume xiii. of the Manual of C ‘onchology.
