Nos. 21:303-320 are not represented in the U. S. National 
Museum, and therefore not transferred to Epitonium by Dr. Dall. 
The above notes and descriptions are (chiefly) taken from Dr. 
Dall’s paper.

21:0321 Magdalena Bay, Baja (Lower) California. 
George Bentham, in the botany of the Voyage of the Sulphur, 
has made Magdalena Bay shores classic ground for the botanist. 
T. S. Brandegee has made the flora of the islands of Magdalena 
and Santa Margarita, which in large part form and protect this 
bay, still better known in his work on the “Plants of Baja Cali- 
fornia.”’ 
Hinds published a beautifully illustrated work on the shells 
of Magdalena Bay, in which many well known Californian shells 
were described, but I have not been able to find a copy of this 
rare work in California. Aside from occasional references to 
the bay, I have found nothing pertaining to the fauna of this 
region, except a list of shells of Margarita bay in Philip P. Car- 
penter’s report of 1863 on mollusca of the west coast of North 
America. This list of 74 forms, secured by W. Harper Pease, of 
Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, thru one of “his trained collectors,”’ 
has been the cause of Margarita bay being more often quoted in 
conchological literature than the name of Magdalena bay. Mar- 
garita bay, according to the late Dr. R. E. C. Stearns, was located 
on the ocean side of Santa Margarita Islands; according to Dr. 
Dall, it was the southern part of Magdalena bay, lying east of 
Santa Margarita Islands, now locally known as Almejas (clam) 
bay. 
Dr. Dall also says that Mr. Pease’s ‘‘trained collectors’’ were 
‘‘whalers who used to meet there and swap shells from all over 
the world, and sell them to Pease as from Magdalena Bay.” He 
sent one lot to Washington so labelled, including Buccinum un- 
datum! The following is the list as given by Carpenter: 
610 Acmiea atrata Carpenter. 
21:0322 Acmaea strigatella Cpr. 
Orcutt 10136: Magdalena bay, abundant. 
666 Barbatia gradata Sowerby. 
21:0323 Calliostoma versicolor Menke. 
Orcutt 10144: Magdalena bay, not rare. Scammons Lagoon 
(Porter).
