Family FASCIOLARIID A. 
Genus PUSUS Lam. 
Fusus barbarensis Trask. 
Some fine fossil shells have been found in soft rock at Dead Man’s 
Island. ‘Two living specimens from Catalina Island are now in the 
National Museum. Probably the adult of the San Pedro fossil de- 
seribed in 1855, by Dr. Trask, as F. barbarensis. Similar to, though 
not identical with, /. Burnsit Dall, from the Virginia Miocene.” (W. 
H. D.) One fossil shell found in San Pedro Bay, by Mr. George Gil- 
lette, measured 45 inches in length. 
Fusus Kobelti Dall. 
Live shells not often washed ashore at Catalina. Dead examples 
frequently found on the island. Rare at San Pedro.

SUPPLEMENTARY LIST OF RECENT MOLLUSCA, NOT LATELY FOUND. 
Twenty-five years ago, Dr. J. G. Cooper collected shells at San Pedro 
and vicinity, dredging especially about Catalina Island. He after- 
wards, in 1867, published his “Geographical Catalogue of the Mol- 
lusks found West of the Rocky Mountains,” in which this information 
was embodied. Dr. Cooper has kindly furnished me with a list of 
shells found in and near San Pedro Bay at that time. In 1873, Mr. 
W. H. Dall dredged extensively in and near Catalina Harbor, adding a 
number of species to the fauna. Not wishing to duplicate any names 
already on my list, I only add a list of such marine forms as have not
