Of a shy little Indian 
girl, in the village of 
Metakahtla, Alaska, I 
bought theeshaggy 
shell, a drawing of 
which is shown in Fig- 
ure 219. Its name is 
Priéne oregonénsis, 
Redf., and it is other- 
wise known as Triton 
or Tritonium oregon- 
énse, the Oregon Tri- 
ton. It is found in the 
northern waters, and is 
a very unique species 
easily recognized by its 
fusiform shape, num- 
erous varices, and its 
hairy, brownish epider- 
mis. The inside of the 
shell is pure white.
