132 WHITEAVES ON MARINE 1NVERTEBRATA, ETC., 



Johustone Strait ; at Beaver Harbour, Vancouver Island ; on the east side of Queen 

 Charlotte Sound, and on the north and north-west coast of Vancouver Island 

 between Nahwitti Bar and Quatsino Sound. Dredged also, alive, but in small 

 numbers, in the Strait of Georgia at station No. 5, in Discovery Bay at station No. 

 7, and in Queen Charlotte Sound at stations Nos. 12 and 17. 



LUNATIA LEWISII, Old. Low tide, entrance to Malaspina Inlet, one specimen. 



, LUNATIA PALLIDA ? Broderip and Sowerby. Queen Charlotte Sound at station No. 17, two 

 dead and imperfect shells. 



^TRITON (PRIENE) OREGONENSIS, Redfield. Low tide in Johnstone and Broughton Straits, 

 in the G-oletas Channel, and on the east side of Queen Charlotte Sound, but appar- 

 ently not very common. Dredged, living and adult, but in very small numbers, 

 in Johnstone Strait at station No. 10, and in Queen Charlotte Sound at stations 

 Nos. 11 and 12. This shell is possibly only a local variety of the Triton cancellatus 

 of Lamarck, from South America. 



/MARGINELLA (VOLUTELLA) PYRIFORMIS, Carpenter. Low tide in the Goletas Channel ; 

 dredged also in Queen Charlotte Sound at station No. 12, and in Quatsino Sound 

 at station No. 20. One adult, living shell of this diminutive species at each of 

 these stations. 



yOLiVELLA BIPLIOATA, Sowerby. Abundant, living, on the west or outer coast of Vancouver 

 Island. 



OLIVELLA B^mcA, Carpenter. Strait of Georgia at stations Nos. 2 (frequent) and 5 (very 

 abundant), also in Discovery Passage at station No. 7, and in Queen Charlotte 

 Sound at station No. 16. Living, and apparently not uncommon, at each. 



/ CHRYSODOMUS LIRATUS, Martyn. Queen Charlotte Sound, at station No. 12, two living 

 but very young specimens, with the mammillated apex beautifully preserved ; at 

 station No. 16, one half-grown and dead specimen ; and at station No. 17, two fine 

 adult specimens (one living), with a short spire to the shell and an unusually 

 inflated or globose body whorl. 



/ CHRYSODOMUS DIRUS, Reeve. (Sp.) Abundant, living, at low water at the entrance to 

 Malaspina Inlet and on the north shore of the Strait of Georgia ; in Discovery Pas- 

 sage, between Seymour Narrows and Elk Harbour ; in Johnstone and Broughton 

 Straits ; in the Goletas Channel, and on the east side of Queen Charlotte Sound. 

 Dredged, but in small numbers, in Discovery Passage, at station No. 7. The generic 

 position of this species is uncertain, as the animal has not yet been described. 

 The shell does not look like that of a Chrysodomus or Sipho. Tryon places it in 

 the genus Euthria, but that course is not free from objections. 



SIPHON VERKRITZENI, Kobelt. Queen Charlotte Sound at station No. 17, associated with 

 Neptunea lirata and other rare species ; one large, dead shell, but in excellent condi- 

 tion. Mr. Dall, to whom the writer is indebted for the identification of this 

 specimen, writes that it had previously been found in Norway and in Behring 

 Sea and Strait, but that the present is the most southerly locality yet reported for it.
