ON MOLLUSCA OF THE WEST COAST OF NORTH AMERICA. 575 
is given without authority; and the locality is probably erroneous. Various 
other shells are scattered in the national collection, assigned either generally 
to the West Coast or to special localities, which it has not been considered 
needful to tabulate without confirmation. 
68. Various sowrces.—Under this head may be arranged gleanings from 
European authors not consulted in preparing the first Report. 
In the ‘ Histoire Naturelle des Coquilles,’ by L. A. G. Bosc, Paris, 1830, 
the following species, not previously quoted, are assigned to the West Coast, 
but without authority :—

The following West Coast shells are named and figured by Dr. Gray in 
‘Griffith’s Edition of Cuyier’s Animal Kingdom,’ London, 1834. In some 
instances there are also a few words of description :—

are reversed, but are repeated correctly in pl. 37 *,]

_ _ In Woodward’s most valuable ‘ Manual of the Mollusca,’ London, 1851-6,

In the very valuable handbook of bivalves, ‘ Recent Shells, by ’S. Hanley, 
London, 1842-56,’ will be found either quoted or original diagnoses of all 
_ West Coast species known to the learned, patient, and minutely exact com- 
piler. As the locality-marks are simply transcripts, they are not here repeated, 
especially as “California” is used for both the temperate and the tropical 
faunas. The following synonyms will be serviceable to the student :—
