San Luis Rey river, remembrances of eariier days beside the 
waters ofa New Eng’‘and river caused the editor to look, rather 
without hope it is true, for some of his former acquaintances— 
Ancylus—and lo!—a solitary specimen of an apparently un- 
described species was the reward. It was a healthy individual 
attached to a piece of dead wood lodged in the stream and an 
interesting addition to the fauna of San Diego county and to 
Southern California. Further search was in vain—possibly 
it had drifted down from its natural environment nearer the 
source of the stream. Succinea oregonensis, Pupa Hemphilli 
and Helix tudiculata were observed near by. 
FUSUS. HARFORDII. 
“(Chrysodomus?) Shell solid, elongate, regu'arly fusiform; 
spire elevated, whorls 6 ar 7, moderately convex, slightly flat- 
tened (in outline) above, with a groove or channel following the 
suture; color, chocolate brown; surface marked by numerous 
narrow revolving costae, which alternate in prominence on the 
body whorl, and longitudinally by fine incremental striae, and on 
the upper whor!s by obtusely rounded ribs of more or less promi- 
nence; aperture ovate, about one-ha‘f the length of the shell, 
polished, white and fine'y ribbed within; (the outer lip in 
perfect specimens is probably finely crenulated); canal short, | 
nearly straight. Lon. 2.1; Lat. .94 in. Number of specimens, 
3; 2 mature, dead, 1 junior, fresh. Habitat—coast of Mendo- 
cino county, near Big Spanish Flat, California, where it was 
detected by Mr. Harford.”—-Robert E. C. Stearns, Concholo- 
logical memoranda No. 7 (28 Ag 1871); Ca ac pr 5: 79 (7 Ap 
1873). Dall, “extr Ca ac pr 19 Mr 1877; U S Na mu pr 14: 
178, t 6, 
Dall cites the Farallones Is!ands (Watkins), and says he has 
“little doubt that this is the shell called by Middendorf Triton- 
ium Sabini, from Kenai; at least, there is no other sheil of the 
coast resembling Gray’s Fusus Sabini.”
