THE NAUTILUS. Ng 
from British Columbia (though some have been found in neighbour- 
ing seas), and four species are new to science. My best thanks are 
due to Dr. Dall for kindly determining new and doubtful material, 
and species so identified are marked in the accompanying list by an 
asterisk. 
It will be noticed that the range of several Californian species 
receives a considerable extension, as in the case of Diala marmorea 
Cpr., Eulima falcata Cpr., Ischnochiton radians Cpr., Lepidopleurus 
rugatus Cpr., Chrysallida cincta Cpr., Phasianella pulloides Cpr., 
Tornatina harpa Dall, and Turbonilla stylina Cpr., ete. 
Of northern species the southward range is extended of Buccinum 
plectrum Stimps. (now first established as living in our waters) of 
Trichotropis borealis Br. & Sby., and of Sipho verkriizeni Kobelt. 
The two last mentioned species occur at Alert Bay in company with 
an unusual abundance of boreal and circumpolar species such as 
Buecinum cyaneum Brug., Bela violacea M. & A., Margarita helicina 
O. Fab., Cryptobranchia concentrica Midd., Lepidopleurus cancellatus 
Sby., Crenella decussata Mont., etc. 
Of the four new species, three belong to genera new to our waters ; 
viz. Rissoina, Mélleria and Phasaniella. The fourth species belongs 
_ to asubgenus (Mumiola) of Odostomia especially Japanese in its 
recorded species. 
Most of the following additions are of small shells, of which, how- 
ever, we are still far from having on record anormal proportion. 
The stations quoted in the following lists are arranged in their 
order passing from the south towards the north. 
Station 1. Near Victoria, Vancouver Island, in 60 fathoms, fine 
clean sand. Collected by the Natural History Society of B. C. 
March 14, 1896. 
Station 2. Near Alert Bay, Queen Charlotte Sound, northeast of 
Vancouver Island, 20 fathoms, small gravel. Collector, C. F. N. 
July, 1895. 
Station 3. North side of the entrance to Cumshewa Inlet, Queen 
Charlotte Islands, 10-20 fathoms, small broken shells and sand. 
Collector, C. F. N. Sept., 1895. 
Station 4. East end of Skidegate Inlet, Queen Charlotte Islands, 
sand and mud. Collector, C. F. N. August, 1895. 
Station 5. Dawson Harbour, west end of Skidegate Inlet, Queen 
Charlotte Islands, 20 fathoms., broken shells. Collector, C. F. N. 
Sept., 1895.
