Saxicava arctica, Mya trimcata, and Mytilus edulis 
appear in forms peculiarly distorted, in a way wliicli it is 
usual to attribute to exposure, during intervals, to greater 
or less infusion of fresher or colder water. This may be 
supposed to be due to some direction of the currents of the 
old land streams, probably coming down from glaciers, over 
shellbeds, not far from shore, and at no great depth. The

Since the printing of my last list of the Fauna of 
Cymmeran Bay, the collection of shells obtained from 
there has been more than once revised, and I have seen 
reason to believe that in several instances my determination 
of the species has been faulty, from my having had only
