dentalis Beck and Thais lapillus Linn^. Also several specimens apparently 

 of this species but which unfortunately had become dried out through evapora- 

 tion of the preserving fluid were found in tubes of Cistenides granulata in Dolphin 

 and Union strait, (Canadian Arctic Expedition Station 43 a, b), September, 1915, 

 25 to 50 fathoms.

A number of nicely preserved specimens of this species were collected by 

 W. Spreadborough at IJcluelet on the west side of Vancouver island, British 

 Columbia, in May, 1909. This species has been previously recorded, aside from 

 the shores of Japan, from Mergui on the gulf of Bengal, Australia (Sydney), 

 Fiji, and the Queen Charlotte islands, (Sec. H^rubel, Mem. Soc. Zool. France, 

 1907, p. 218).

A well preserved partly grown specimen of this species is in the collection 

 transmitted for study along with that of the Canadian Arctic Expedition. The 

 colour markings are exceptionally distinct, these consisting of large black pigment 

 spots on the dorsal surface of the body and of parallel transverse stripes across 

 the dorsal and upper lateral surface of the proboscis, those just proximad of the 

 tentacles being deepest. The papillae and other external features are typical.
