Height, 3 to 4 mm. 
Occurrence —At stations D 5729+ (7), D5764 (4), D5781t (4), 
5785 (1, 1), D5786 (2), D5785 (4), D5788 (1), D5810 (28), 
5836 (24), D 5839 (16), and questionably at D 5794, D 5836. 
As yet this new species is known only from the lower and middle 
divisions of the bay and from the open ocean in the vicinity of the

Farallon Islands. Specimens were dredged in depths ranging from 
134 to 68 fathoms on bottoms varying from pure sand to pure mud. 
Range.—Known only from San Francisco, which is the type locality 
of the species.

Odostomia farallonensis Dall and Bartsch (1909), p. 221, pl. 27, fig. 7. 
Description.—This species was originally described as follows: 
“Shell very elongate-ovate, deeply umbilicated, light yellow. Nuclear 
whorls very deeply immersed. Postnuclear whorls very slightly rounded in the 
middle between the sutures, more strongly so near the anterior end and toward 
the summit. Summit strongly narrowly tabulate. Periphery of the last whorl 
inflated. Base very strongly suddenly rounded, widely and deeply umbilicated. 
Entire surface marked by numerous fine, closely spaced, spiral striations. Aper- 
ture broadly ovate, posterior angle obtuse, outer lip thin; columella very 
slender, strongly curved, revolute, provided with a deep fold a little below 
its insertion; parietal wall glazed with a thin callus.’’ 
Occurrence.—This species was dredged by the ‘‘ Albatross’’ during 
a previous survey at station D 3180 off the Farallon Islands. 
Range.—Known only from the Farallon Islands which is the type 
locality for the species.
