THE NAUTILUS. 47 



Fissuridea aspera Esehscholtz. Between tides to 12 fathoms; not 

 rare. 



Fissuridea murina Dall. Shore to 12 fathoms; some specimens 

 quite fresh hut all dead and then not of common occurrence. 



Lucapina crenulata Sowerby. Low tide. 



Megatebennua bimaculatus Dall. Quite a number found alive at 

 low tide. 



Subemarginula yatesi Dall. A single fine specimen was obtained 

 which had been brought in by fishermen from deep water. It is 

 evidently extremely rare. 



Puncturella cucullata Gould. 12 fathoms. This also seems to 

 be quite rare in this locality, though one living and several dead 

 shells were dredged from a depth of twelve fathoms. 



Lepidopleurus rugatus Carpenter. Not rare at low tide. 



Lepidopleurus ambustus Dall. Several examples were found on 

 the fragments of blue clay dredged in 12 fathoms of water. 



Lepidopleurus (Oldroydia) percrassus Dall. 12 fathoms. On the 

 blue clay with the other chitons were found two fine specimens. 



Tonicella lineata Wood. Between tides to 12 fathoms. The 

 species does not run so large here as further north, but is often very 

 beautifully colored. 



Trachydermon ruber Lowe. 12 fathoms; one specimen. It was 

 a surprise to find this cold-water species at Monterey. 



Trachydermon hartwegii Carpenter. Common on the rocks be- 

 tween tides everywhere. 



( To be concluded. )
