THE NAUTILUS. 
N. B.*—This locality has been recently invaded by civilization in 
the form of an electric road passing near it, bringing its attendant 
blessings (?), houses and their inhabitants. But as yet the colony 
exists; I collected specimens there as lately as last September. 
EASTPORT NOTES. 
BY REV. HENRY W. WINKLEY 
Chiton marmoreus Fab. 
A variety differing from the type in size and color occurs at 
Eastport. The type occurs in size as long as 1} inches, and even a 
trifle more than that. The blue variety is not over an inch, 
the average being about f of an inch. The type has the color 
of the interior white at the edges of the valves, deepening to rose 
color. In the variety, which may he called var. cceruleus, the rose 
color gives place to a delicate light blue. The outside is robin’s 
egg blue. Though not common, this variety seems to be established. 
I have found it twice, and in small numbers. 
Bucinum undatum Linn. 
The type is abundant at Eastport. Largest specimen, 2f inches. 
(I have a specimen from near Old Orchard 4 inches long.) A vari¬ 
ety (v. plana) occurs at Eastport and Grand Manan ; size of largest 
specimen, 1| inches, resembling the type except in size and loss of 
waves. In some cases the waves remain in faint form ; in some 
cases thev are absent altogether. The type form at Eastport has 
Margarita undulata Say. 
Type is abundant; an albino form occurs rarely ; it is about one- 
half the size of the type. 
Terebratulina septemtrionalis (young), Menestlio albula and a 
few of the deep water starfishes were found at low tide in small 
numbers. 
Aslarte crebricostata —formerly common in 10 fathoms, could not 
be found.
