HTDBOIDS TROM VANCOUVER ISLAND 153 



Halecium wilsoni Calkins. — (p. 49). Many fine specimens 

 were dredged in Ships channel, Barkley sound, in 25 fathoms., 



Grammaria immersa Nutting. — (p. 51). A fine large speci- 

 men was obtained at Dodds narrows by dredging. 



Lafgea dumosa (Fleming). — (p. 51). Common everywhere 

 from below low tide mark to the depth of the deepest dredgings 

 made (about 30 fathoms). Found in materials from Banks 

 island, Departure bay, Dodds narrows, Ucluelet and Port 

 Renfrew. 



Lafcea gracillima (Alder). — (p. 52). Found as plentifully 

 and under much the same conditions as the preceding, in all the 

 localities mentioned except Banks island. 



Abietinaria abietina (Linnaeus). — (p. 57). Common in 

 dredged material but not a shore form. Found at Banks 

 island, Departure bay, Dodds narrows, and Ucluelet. 



Abietinaria amphora Nutting. — (p. 58). Several fine speci- 

 mens, loaded with gonophores, were obtained near low-tide at 

 Ucluelet and Port Renfrew and one specimen was dredged at 

 Dodds narrows. 



Abietinaria anguina (Trask). — (p. 58.) Found in shallow 

 water at Port Renfrew and Ucluelet. 



Abietinaria filicula (Ellis and Solander). — (p. 60). Some 

 specimens were obtained by Mr. John Macoun along the shore 

 at Beacon Hill Park, Victoria, and some were dredged at Dodds 

 narrows. 



Abietinaria greenei (Murray). — (p. 61). One of the very 

 common species on the Vancouver Island coasts. It does not 

 seem to thrive where the water is at all foul but where the water 

 is clear it may be found growing in large clusters under over- 

 hanging rocks or in crevices often near the low tide mark but 

 sometimes at a much greater depth. The finest specimens were 

 obtained from Port Renfrew and Ucluelet, but others were 

 found in Departure bay and Dodds narrows. 



Abietinaria traski (Torrey). — (p. 63). Somewhat common 

 in dredged material in Departure bay and Dodds narrows. 

 The stem is slender but rather rigid and the relatively short 

 branches break off from the stem rather easily, hence it is not 

 always a simple matter to get a perfect specimen.
