 95. The United States Expedition to Japan, under Commodore M. C. Perry, 

 1852-4, was not undertaken for scientific purposes ; and no special provir.ioa 

 wa-s made either for collecting or describing objects of natural histoiy. A 

 large number of shells, however, were obtained, and identified by Dr. Jay of 

 New York. In Vol, II. of the ' Narrative of the Expedition, itc' ( Washing- 

 ton, 1856, pp. 289-297) is given a list of Japanese shells, with descriptions and 

 figures of the (siipposed) new species. The following are related to the mol- 

 luscs of the West Coast t. Specimens of the most important may be seen 

 in the Cumingian Collection.

 chiefly to the subliopical iJortieu of the fauna.
