Darina declivis Cpr., 1865. “ Vancouver;” “Forbes;” fide Cpr. 
Doubtful or spurious West American species of Mactrid^e. 
There is no typical Mactra or Spisula known from the Pacific 
Coast. 
Mactra angusta Desk., 1854, from the Gulf of California as figured 
by Reeve, resembles a refined M. californica Conr. Wein- 
kauff’s figure is undoubted californica Conr. not Desk. I have 
not seen authentic specimens. 
Mulinia bistrigata Morch, 1861, appears to be a mere color variety 
of M. pallida. 
Mulinia Gabbi Tryon, is stated to have come from Lower Califor¬ 
nia, but has not since been reported from there. It is very 
close to the South American M. exalbida Gray, and as M. exal- 
bida is found near Panama it may reach California. 
Mactrella subalata Morch, 1861, was described from a single worn 
valve obtained at Realejo, Costa Rica. This was probably a 
ballast shell or one in some way transported from the Atlantic 
Coast. Caribbean shells are taken to Panama and other Pacific 
ports for sale to visitors, as I have personally experienced. 
Mactrella alata, of which subalata is a pure synonym, has not 
been authenticated from the Pacific where it is replaced by M. 
exoleta Gray. 
M. ( Mactrella ) lacinata Cpr., 1856; Panama, Bridges; is probably 
a Mulinia, notwithstanding its reference to Mactrella. Its 
small size (0'7 in.) points toward immaturity. It has not been
