THE NAUTILUS. 93 



Neritina sp. indet. (perhaps picta?) One specimen found by Mrs. 

 Frank Pierce of Madison, Wis. 



Leptothyra bacula. 



Calliostoma gloriosum. 



Ethalia invallata. 



Haliotis cracherodii. 



Nuttallina californica. 



Octopus punctatus. 



These species have all been collected by me except where other- 

 wise noted. I was unable to compare the Neritina with any 

 authentic specimens, but Mr. Kelsey, of San Diego, to whom I men- 

 tioned it, said that he had not heard of any Neritina found so far 

 north, but thought it might be N picta. The specimen of Nuttal- 

 lina californica Reeve was a seven-valved individual.

 the honored citizen and the esteemed friend — Silas C. Wheat.
