A very common West Coast form, the distinctive character 

 of which may result mainly from its attachment ; the coloring 

 does not differ from G. onyx. The synonyms are G. solida, 

 Hinds (fig. 52), C. roxtriformis, Gould (figs. 53, 53 a), G. 

 uncata, Menke, G. fissurata, Sowb. (fig. 60), and G. rostrata, C.
