JAPANESE MOLLUSKS, ACM^EID^. Ill 



termediate specimens between this and typical schrenckii occur. 

 Still another form is smaller, more erect and elevated, with dull, tes- 

 sellated or rayed exterior, and subobsolete radial strise. The speci- 

 mens from Hakodate are rather small. All of the forms of A. 

 schrenckii have the interior stained with green or blue.

Nagasaki and Deshima (Lischke) ; Kashi-azaki, Boshiu, Eno- 

 shima, Sagami (Stearns). 



Great numbers of this species were obtained by Mr. Stearns. It 

 is readily distinguishable from all forms of A. schrenckii by the 

 brown-black and white (not blue or green) interior. Dunker's P. 

 pygmcea is probably a synonym. 



A white variety, ray-variegated with reddish-brown, occurs at 

 Tokyo Harbor and Kamakura (Stearns).

Many specimens were collected, agreeing in the main with Reeve's 

 Patella lanx. The inside has a wide black margin, interrupted at 

 the positions of the principal ribs with white. Spatula is either 

 stained irregularly with brown, or has a large black patch and 

 numerous dots, somewhat as in the var. stellaris Q. & G.
