[tayloe] marine MOLLUSCA OF THE PACIFIC COAST 239 



5*7. DiPLODONTA ORBELLA, Gould. 



Yery common in sand between tides at the end of Comox Spit (Har- 

 vey) ; on outer beach of Newcastle Island, Nanaimo (Gr. W. T.). 



60. Serripes Groenlandicus, Auct. 



Common (fossil) in the blue clay at "Victoria and Nanaimo. The 

 young are plentiful (living) in 10 fathoms, sand, in Departure Bay. 



6S, Tapes tenerrima, G Id. and Cpr. 



Schooner Bay, Gabriola Island, (G. W. T.) 



81. MOERA SALMONEA, Cpr. 



Common in sand at low water, Comox (Harvey). 



83. Angulus varieqatus, Cpr. 



Dredged in 60 fathoms, sand, near Victoria (Newcombe). 



84. Angulus Gouldii, Cpr. 



I believe that the i-ecords of the occurrence in British Columbia of 

 this species are erroneous, and the name should be erased from the list. 



95. Macoma inflatula, Dall. 



I. c, p. 11, pi. i, figs. 19 and 20. 



A manuscript name at the time of the Preliminary Catalogue, but 

 the species has since been described and figured as above. 



This is a common shell at Nanaimo (G. W. T.) and in the Queen 

 Charlotte Islands (Newcombe). Most probably it is widely distributed 

 in the province. 



95a. Macoma liotricha, Dall. 

 I. c, p. 12, pi. i, flg. 21. 

 Another new species described by Dall in his useful paper. It is said 

 to range from the Arctic Ocean to the Queen Charlotte Islands. 



113a. SOLENOMYA JOHNSGNl, Dall. 



Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. xiv, p. 189 (1891). 



This species has been added to our list by Dr. Newcombe, who dredged 

 a dead specimen in Barclay Sound in 1896. (See Catalogue of Natural 

 History Collection in the British Columbia Provincial Museum, p. 89.) 

 It had previously been found in deep water by the United States Fish 

 Commission on the coast of Ecuador, in the Gulf of Panama and in the 

 Gulf of California, and also as far north as the Straits of Fuca.
