A few but partly excellently pre?crved specimens were found at Sulcegawa, 

 Hidaclii. 



Patella aimtssi'ata Reeve, 



(Concli. Icon. Patellii, jil. 33, f. S3. — Scln-enck, nonljupau. Moll. [A. 14, 

 f. 4 and 5.— Li.-chke, Jap. ^leeres-Coucli. v. 1, p. 109 and v. 2, p. 100, 

 pi. 5, f. 7-11.) 



The species, rather variable, has ln'cu found in tolerahly large specimens, 

 some of which were well preserved, iu several places along the coast of Hidachi. 



Auhts pulchdhts Dnnlcer.

 590, Middendorf, Reise &c. v. 2. first [)ortion, p. 2G9; Aulas costatus Saj', 

 from the Atlantic coast of America.). 



Without entering upon the question of the identity of these two species, 

 answered in an opposite sense by Schrenck aiid Lischkc, I mention the specimens 

 from Ilidachi and Shinshiu, tolerably numerous and belonging undoubtedly to 

 the same species as tliose of Dunker. 



Soletellina Doeddin^hausü Lischke. 



(Japan. Meeres-Couch, v. 2, p. 118, pi. 0, f. 9.). 



In all the localities of the iirovinces of Ilidachi and Slino nuiulds of this 

 siKjcies are found; the sliells them.selves were less frecpient. 



Lima squamosa Lamarck.

Tills nearly woild-wide .'^jiecies r.bout which Lischke's discussion may he 

 referred to, has been chiefly found in the Urachinpnda-beds near Sukegawa which 

 will Ifj mentioned below; but it occurs also in other places of Ilidachi and in tiie 

 district of Cliichibu.

Omitting to mention all the varieties, I only add that, the recent Mytili of 

 Jiip.in— not all of them like Myliiu.s Uuidvcri Reeve (Conch. Icon. Mytilus, pi. 5, 

 f. 17; Lischke, Jiip.m. Moercs-Couch. v. 1, p. 153, [il. 10, f. 7 and 8) or like the
