this and the following variety are eliminated some other 
Acmexas might as consistently be relegated to the synomomy. 
Acmea. scabra var. limatula Cpr. 
Various **Points’’ in Los Angeles Co., also on the old break- 
water. 
This var. has a dark band around the edge of the interior: 
of the shell. Some years ago it was identified for me by Dr. 
R. E. C. Stearns. Tryon’s Man. Couch., Vol. XIII, page 14, 
figs. 38, 39, 40. 
TURBINIDZ: 
Genus Uvanilla Gray 
Uvanilla regina. Stearns. 
San Clemente Island, by Mr. Chas. H. Lawrence. 
This rare shell was first described by Dr. R. E. C. Stearns, 
U.S. Nat. Mus., in The Nautilus, Vol. VI, page 85, and, Proce. 
U.S. Nat. Mus., Vol. XVI, pp. 350-51, also listed in his bulletin 
on ‘‘The Shells of the Tres Marias,’’ ete. The finding of this 
shell on San Clemente Is., S. Cal., gave a new locality and Dr. 
Stearns noted its occurrence on pages 1 and 2 in The Nautilus. 
for May, 1897. The first shell was from Guadaloupe Island, 
off the coast of Lower California. 
TROCHIDA 
Genus Calliostoma Swainson 
Callicstoma canaliculatum var. parvum var. nov. 
San Diego Bay. Prof. F. W. Kelsey. 
This variety is like a dwarfed canaliculatum, but instead of 
having a plain ask or yellowish colored surface the whorls of 
this shell are beautifully mottled with pale brown and white 
flecks, these are especially pronounced around the sutures and 
the angle of the body-whorl. Tryon’s Man. Couch., Vol. XI, 
page 361, says ‘‘Specimens from Vancouver are much smaller 
than the southern (Monterey) shell and have fewer spiral lire, 
the alternate ones being lost; the interstices are chocolate col- 
ored.’’ (Fig. 49, plate 67.) As some C. canaliculatum also 
lose their their smaller spiral lire this cannot be considered a 
varietal exception. A very prominent beading ornaments the 
coarser spiral ridges, this beading being more pronounced than 
on typical canaliculatum. The size and color markings are 
distinct features. 
HALIOTIDA 
Genus Haliotis Linne 
Haliotis cracherodii var. splendidula Dall. 
Point Vicente, Los Angeles County. 
This variety was published from a MS. name in shells of 
San Pedro Bay (Proce. U. S. Nat. Mus. Vol. XV, page 193)z
