men figured in this publication, but the former shews clearly the com- 

 mencement of the radiating rib-like folds which characterize the adult 

 shell, and the latter does not. 



Vamkoro pulchella. Var. 



Cfr. Variikoro pulchella, Whiteaves. 1S84. This volume, pt. 3, p. 215, pi. 27, figs. 



4 and 4 a. 



Shell essentially similar to the type and hitherto only known specimen 

 of V. pulchella, and apparently differing therefrom only in its somewhat 

 larger size and coarser transverse plications. 



Departure Bay, V.I., W. Harvey, 1901 : a large but worn and imper- 

 fect specimen, that measures about seventeen millimetres in height by 

 cwenty mm. in width. 



Texada Island, W. Harvey, 1901 : a well preserved but fragmentary 

 specimen, consisting of the spire and upper portion of the outer volution. 

 It is in this specimen that the transver.se plications are seen to be larger 

 and more prominent proportionately, than those of the type of the 

 species are. 



Both of these specimens, when examined with a lens, are seen to be 

 marked with numerous and irregularly disposed, small circular pits, 

 that may indicate the burrows of a Cliona. 



LuNATiA Shumardiana, Gabb.

 fig. 61. 

 White. 188!). Bull. U. S. Geol. Surv., No. 51, p. 45. 



" A single example from Sucia Island apparently belongs to this 

 species." (White.) A specimen from the roof of the coal at the 

 Nanaimo mines, collected by Mr. Harvey, in 1901, and now in the Museum 

 of the Survey, may also be referable to L. Shtanardiana, though its 

 aperture is filled with the matrix, which completely covers the columellar 

 lip. 



Gyrodes (Conradiana ? Gabb, var.) Canadensis. 



Gurodcs cxcavata, Whiteaves. 1879. This volume, pt. 2, p. 124, pi. 16. figs. 2 and 2 « ; but 



probably not Natica cxcavata of Michelin or d'Orbigny. 

 Gyrodes Conradiana, White. 1889. Bull. U. S. Geol. Surv., No. 51, p. 45. 



Shell always much smaller than Natica cxcavata and the typical G. Con- 

 radiana and differing from the latter also in having the upper edge or 

 margin of the outer volution narrowly truncated and flattened downward
