N0.1145. AN ACTAEON FROM NEAR SAN DIEGO, CAL.— STEARNS. 299 



The Spanish Bight examples of A. pnnctocaelatuH are without the 

 least trace of the broad dark bands that characterize recent or living 

 specimens. They are also much slenderer, and, on the whole, upon a 

 comparison between numerous examples of both, more attenuated and 

 delicate, though the columellar cliaracters are the same. This fossil 

 varietal aspect may for convenience be known as var. coronadoenniH 

 (Keg. Nos. 148205-70, U.S.N.M.}.
