 and 2, a-c. 



An unusually good specimen of the guard of this species was collected 

 on the south side of Alliford Bay, in Skidegate Inlet, by Dr. Newcombe 

 in September, 1895.

Shell essentially similar to P. Knoxvillense, in shape, surface markings 

 and septation, and differing therefrom only in the entire absence of any 

 " well marked periodic constrictions." 



East end of Maud island, C. F. Newcombe, 1895 : two specimens, the 

 larger (which has been presented to the Museum) 102 mm., or about 

 four inches, in its maximum diameter ; the smaller 67 mm., or nearly 

 two inches and three-quarters. These specimens are intermediate in 

 their characters between the typical form of P. Knoxvillense and P. 

 ramosum, Meek, which latter shell is regarded by Dr. Kossmat as identi-
