In the Red River valley this species has been collected at Lower Fort 

 Garry by D. Dale Owen in 1848, by Sir James Hector in 1857, by Donald 

 Gunn in 1858, by Dr. R. Bell in 1880,* and by T. C. Weston in 1884 ; 

 at East Selkirk by A. McCharles in 1884, and by L. M. Lambe in 1890. 

 On Lake Winnipeg it has been collected at Washow Bay by T. C. 

 Weston in 1884 ; at Little Black Island,! Swampy Harbour, by J. B. 

 Tyrrell in 1889, and by D. B. Dowling and L. M. Lambe in 1890 ; at Big 

 Island by Mr. Tyrrell in 1889; and at StuVgeon and Black Bear islands 

 by Messrs. Dowling and Lambe in 1890. In Keewatin it has been col- 

 lected at the second and third rapids of the Nelson River by Dr. R. Bell 

 in 1879, and in the District of Saskatchewan, on the east side of Sturgeon 

 Lake, by Mr. Tyrrell in 1894. 



Dr. G. J. Hinde (op. cit.) has expressed the opinion that S. Oweni, 

 Hall, is merely a synonym of H. oecidentalis, Salter. On the other hand, 

 according to Dr. Winchell and Mr. Schuchert (op. cit.), "on account of 

 the greater size attained by B. Oweni, and the plates of the inner surface 

 having twelve canals, instead of four, as in H. oecidentalis, a central knob 

 on each headplate of the spicules on the outer surface of the former, should 

 be sufficient to distinguish this species."
