CYPR^A SPADICEA. 



BY LOKEXZO G. YATES. 



In the July, Ko. of The Nautilus, Miss Ida M. Shepard of 

 Long Beach, Cal., noted the finding of Cyprcea (^Luponici) spadicea 

 eleven miles north of that place, and questions " How much farther 

 north they are found ? " 



This somewhat rare and very handsome shell is found in the Santa 

 Barbara Channel. I found three live shells in one day recently, and 

 a friend found as many as seventy-five fine living specimens in one 

 day, some fifteen or eighteen miles distant from Santa Barbara, north- 

 west, and what was of more interest to me, he generously divided 

 his find. 



In preparing a List of the INIollusca of Santa Barbara County 

 for publication, I was surprised at the large number of species, 

 whose northern, or southern limit is the Santa Barbara Channel, 

 besides a number of species which have not been noted from any 

 other locality on the west coast, some of them being restricted to the 

 channel and its islands.
