Three specimens, which Carpenter referred with doubt to this 
species, were collected by Dr. Kennerley in Puget Sound. J have not 
heard of any other specimens being taken in our waters, the shell re- 
corded by Mr. Whiteaves under this name as having been collected by 
Mr. Richardson at Victoria, being referable to Solariella varicosa.

This species is a very abundant one with us. It is found both be- 
tween tides and down to thirty or forty fathoms, the deep and shallow 
water forms being constantly distinct. 
It occurs all through the province, being one of our commonest 
shells.

According to Dr. Dall the Margarita tenuisculpta of Carpenter and 
five of the same authors species of Gibbulu, viz., obtabilis, parcipicta, 
funiculata, succincta and lacunata, are all forms of this very variable 
species. Dr. Dall’s opinion was based on the examination of very 
numerous specimens. In British Columbia M. lirulata is very abundant 
indeed on and under rocks between tides, the commonest form being 
one answering to the description of Gibbula succincta. Specimens 
dredged are usually of the more brightly coloured and highly sculptur- 
ed varieties.

This is not a very common shell with us, having only been met 
with at Victoria and off Pender Island (Newcombe). 
Dr. Dall was kind enough to compare my shells with Atlantic 
specimens and assures me that they exactly correspond. I have myself
