136 THE NAUTILUS. 



Margarita heUcina Fab. Reported not uncommon between tides 

 around Victoria; not yet discovered at Maple Bay. 



SolnrieUa peramabilis Carpenter and S'lariella cidari's Carpenter. 

 1 have H few nice examples fro?n dredging? in or near Departure 

 Bay, the latter though, only from channels outside the bay. 



Note'. While I have been able to do much more collecting at 

 Maple Bay than at Departure Bay, dredging has as yet been 

 attempted only at the latter locality.

 short, nearly straight, })osterior subtruncate to rounded, inferior well 

 curved ; supero-anterior slope beginning with an angle, close to beaks,

Hab. : Clear Lake, Deuel Co., S, Dakota, collected by Mr. W. H. 

 Over, in several lots, in 1006 and 1908; types No. 5752 and corre- 

 sponding with those in Mr. Over's collection, in whose honor the 

 species was named (in 1906). Apparently the same Pisidium is from 

 Cannon Lake. Rice Co., Minnesota, collected by Mr. L. E. Daniels 

 in 1905 (No. 5595); the two specimens in the collection are some- 

 what larger and more inflated, with the beaks higher.
