TERTIARY FAUNA OF FLORIDA 



of northeast and northwest America, and the so-called variety polygona {T. 

 trisiiiuata Orbigny) Jeffreys, which is distributed very widely. It must be con- 

 fessed, however, that the mutations of the species are considerable enough to 

 afford some excuse for the view of them taken by Jeffreys.

Miocene of Astoria, Oregon, Dana ; Pliocene of San Pedro, California, 

 Dall ; living in Puget Sound, O. B. Johnson and United States Fish Commis- 

 sion. 



This remarkable species is found in the Pliocene (not the Post-Pliocene, as 

 stated by Gabb) of Dead Man's Island off San Pedro, but is entirely absent 

 from the Pleistocene of San Pedro Hill on the mainland. The edges of the 

 rather delicate nymphs upon which the ligament was seated were mistaken by 

 Gabb for lateral teeth. I have been unable to detect any differences of sys- 

 tematic value between the jMiocene fossils and the recent shells dredged by the 

 Fish Commission.
