compared specimens from Victoria with Mr. Smith’s type of Vancouver-

them to agree in every particular.

Rept. Brit. Assoc., 1863, p. 653 (August, 1864); and Proc. Cal. Acad. Sci., vol. iii., 1865, 
This rare shell was first found at Catalina Island, California, by 
Dr. Cooper. In our province six fine living specimens were dredged 
by Dr. Dawson off False Head, Vancouver Island, in thirty fathoms. and 
one dead shell, in fair condition. was dredged by myself in Departure Bay 
in 1888. 
320. SOLARIELLA CIDARIS, Carpenter, sp. 
Margarita cidaris (A. Ads.) Cpr., Rept. Brit. Assoc... 1863, p. 653 (August, 1864): and 
Ann, Mag. Nat. Hist., series 3, vol. xiv., p. 426 (December, 1864). 
Until 1885 this beautiful species was known only by the unique 
type specimens collected by Swan in Puget Sound. In that year Dr. 
Dawson dredged a splendid series of twenty-two specimens—in Forward 
Bay, (eighteen specimens) off False Head, (two specimens) and in Quat- 
sino Sound (two specimens). 
This shell has since been obtained by the U.S. Fish Commission in 
San Pedro Bay. 
Mr. Whiteaves has a note on this species and two excellent tigures 
of the largest of Dr. Dawson's specimens, in the * Ottawa Naturalist ” for 
December, 1893 (vol. vii., p. 135).

Not uncommon on boulders at low-water mark on our northern and
