(Kead May L'7, 1886.) 



As stated in his preliminary report, 1 Dr. Dawsou's geological explorations of certain 

 parts of the coast of British Columbia, in the summer of 1885, in which he was assisted 

 by Mr. D. B. Bowling, were prosecuted by means of a schooner. In the intervals of 

 the more purely geological work, this mode of locomotion afforded many opportunities, 

 which were utilized to their fullest extent, for collecting marine invertebrata, on the 

 shore, by the towing net or by the dredge. The title of the present paper sufficiently 

 indicates the area examined, at many points within which collections were made at low 

 tide. The material collected by the towing net, being to a large extent microscopical in 

 its character, has not yet been examined. The dredge was used successfully at depths of 

 of from seven to fifty fathoms, at the following localities :
