THE NAUTILUS. AT 
sometimes ruddy at the ridge, or (2) uniform blackish, or (3) dark 
brown, uniform or with whitish flecks. 
Valves rather strong, slightly beaked when unworn, the posterior 
(sutural) margins straight or slightly concave. Intermediate valves 
rather rounded where they join the girdle, scalloping the inner bor- 
der of the latter; not distinctly divided into areas. Lateral areas 
hardly or not raised (the diagonal being indistinct) evenly seulptured 
with minute, equal granules. Central areas also evenly sculptured 
throughout with similar granules, slightly finer on the ridge. End 
valves with the same equal sculpture, the tail valve with the mucro 
central and a little projecting. 
Interior light blue, with darker stains at bases of the sutural lam- 
inze and behind the rather strong blue-white valve callus. Sinus 
and sutural lamin asin Hartwegii. Slits in valvei, 8 ; valves ii—vii, 
1-1; valve viii, 11; teeth of end valves blunt, thick, but not distinctly 
bilobed. All teeth longer than the narrow, porous eaves. 
Girdle narrow, black or with small whitish spots, leathery, very 
minutely papillose. 
Length 23, breadth 11 mm. (type; San Francisco). 
Length 123, breadth 7 mm. (Bolinas specimen). 
Habitat, San Francisco, Bolinas, Purissima, San Mateo Co., Mon- 
terey, with typical Hartwegit. 
Specimens from the first three localities were collected by Mr. W. 
J. Raymond, who has seen them from Monterey also. 
This is a longer species than T. dentiens Gld., with heavier valves, 
less apparent diagonal, and much longer, thicker teeth. It differs 
from T. Hartwegii (to use Mr. Raymond’s words) in being (a) 
“narrower and smaller than southern Hartwegii (Monterey to San 
Diego) with which alone I have been able to compare them from 
the material at hand; (6) the color of the inside is lighter blue 
than in Hartwegii; (c) I cannot make out the warty sculpture, 
which you emphasize in the description of Hartwegii.” Moreover, 
the teeth are much longer than in Hartwegii, from which the finer, 
even granulation well distinguishes T. Raymondi.
