In the very valuable handbook of bivalves, ' Eecent Shells, by S. Hanley, 

 London, 1842-56,' will be found either quoted or original diag-noses of all 

 West Coast species known to the learned, patient, and minutely exact com- 

 piler. As the locality-marks are simply transcripts, they are not here repeated, 

 especially as "CaHfomia" is used for both the temperate and the tropical 

 faunas. The following synonyms will be serviceable to the student: —
