Occurrence.—At stations D 5845 (f.), D 5846 (2). 
This species has been reported from the Farallon Islands by Car- 
penter (1863) and from San Francisco by Wood and Raymond (1891). 
Shells of this form were obtained by the Survey at two stations within 
the Golden Gate in 33 and 45 fathoms. The two weathered shells from 
station D 5846 were found associated with Kellia laperousi and Petri- 
cola carditoides as a nestler in pholadid borings.

Cuspidaria californica Dall (1886), p. 296. 
Description—This species was originally described as follows: 
‘*Shell differing from C. pectinata by its smaller size and proportionally 
greater length; larger number of ribs (16-20, while pectinata averages 12-14); 
its straighter, longer rostrum with but two strong radiating lirae extending 
to the lower extreme (pectinata has none, or only several fine ones near the 
body of the valve); its less inflated shape and paler, more delicate epidermis.
