128 WHITEAVES ON MARINE INVERTEBRATA, ETC.. 



arc different from the Turbo sanguineus of Linnaeus. 1 In a letter to the writer, 

 Mr. Ball says : " The west coast shell is the sanguineu, L. ; is not the type of 

 Collonia, Gray, which is African and umbilicated, and has a calcareous operculum. 

 It inhabits Japan, California, and the, .ZEgean Sea." The specimens collected by 

 Dr. Dawson certainly have a calcareous operculum. 



/- CHLOROSTOMA FUNEBRALE, A. Adams. Collected abundantly, living, at or a little below 

 low tide level on the north and north-west coast of Vancouver Island, between 

 Nahwitti Bar and Quatsino Sound. Apparently confined to the north and west 

 coast ot the island. 



CALLIOSTOMA COSTATUM, Martyn. Low tide in Johnstone aud Broughton Straits, in the 

 G-oletas Channel, and on the east side of Queen Charlotte Sound, common and 

 living. Dredged also, abundantly and alive, in Queen Charlotte Sound at station 

 No. 15. 



yCALLTOSTOMA ANNULATUM, Martyn. Johnstone Strait at station No. 10, one small, living 

 specimen. A much scarcer species than the preceding one on the coasts of 

 Vancouver and the Queen Charlotte Islands. 



xGriBBULA (PHORCus) PTJLLIGO, Marlyn. Abundant at and a little below low water mark, 

 in Johnstone and Broughton Straits, in the Goletas Channel, on the east side of 

 Queen Charlotte Sound, and on the northern and western coasts of Vancouver 

 Island ; often on fronds and stems of Macrocystis. 



The specimens from Carpenter Bay, which were referred by the writer to the 

 Chlorostoma brunneum of Philippi, in a list of shells from the Queen Charlotte Islands, 

 published in the Eeport of Progress of the G-eological Survey of Canada for 1878-79 

 (p. 201 B), are forms of this species. The true Clilorostoma brunneum has not yet been 

 found north of California. 







SOLARIELLA PERAMABILIS, Carpenter. Six fine living specimens of this rare shell were 

 dredged in Queen Charlotte Sound at station No. 17. The species had not pre- 

 viously been recorded as occurring north of California. Mr. W. H. Ball, who has 

 examined three of the specimens collected by Dr. Dawson, says that they are " ruder 

 and larger than those from the Santa Barbara Channel," and that the former " might 

 perhaps be regarded as a local variety of the species." Dr. Paul Fischer (" Manuel de 

 Conchyliologie," Paris, p. 826) says that Machccroplax of Friele (IS 1 ? 1 ?) is synonymous 

 with Solariella of Searles Wood (1842). 



.MARGARITA CIDARIS, A. Adams. Johnstone Strait at station No. 10, two very young but 

 living shells. Queen Charlotte Sound at station No. 17, a fine series of eighteen 

 living specimens of all ages, several being adult, and the largest measuring fbrty 

 six millimetres in height (or length) by about thirty-two in maximum breadth- 

 Entrance to Quatsino Inlet at station No. 19, two half-grown and dead shells. 



The only previou sly known specimen of "this very remarkable and unique 

 shell," as Dr. P. P. Carpenter calls it, was found at Neeah Bay, Washington Territory, 

 by Mr. J. Gr. Swan.
