The properties of Anomia' tuund in the tertiary shell-layers leave no doubt 

 abuiit the determination. The thin shells, covered with irregular, inululating, 

 small rcnnd ribs and undulating strite, exhibit sometimes traces of reddish 

 or piu'iile color. The muscular scars (3 of the upper valve, sometimes confluent, 

 the lowest being smaller snd placed to the left side of the spectator), exactly 

 Correspond to the figures given liy Forbes and Hanley, and S. Wood. I think 

 it very probable that the shells mentioned by Lischke (Japan. Meeres-Conch. 

 vol. 1, p. 80) as different from liis A ? laqueata. to which I may add specimens 

 abundantly found at Yokuliama, also belong to this species wliicli is known from 

 many places of the Pacific Coast. It was very rare, however, at Oji. — 



As the results to be derived from this list of mollusca may better be given 

 after it has been completed by the addition of the species from other localities, I 

 piifis to the next places of exposure.
