Yic., two dead specimens on beach, (J.R.) and three dead in 18 fms. off 
Macaulay Pt., (C.F.N.) Q.Ch.Sd., dead, (G.M.D,) In boulder-clay at Yic., 
(C.F.N., G.W.T., W.H.) 
Mr. Whiteaves supplies the following quotation from Lt Bay’s Report, 
(37), p. 180. Under B. polare Mr. Dali states that he has seen “ two speci- 
mens of a singularly thick and short variety, percrassum, from the Arctic, 
north of Bering Strait. It must be exceedingly rare ; the upper whorls are 
smaller, less inflated, and less turreted than in the normal form. The oper- 
culum is also proportionately larger and more oval. It may prove distinct 
from B. polare 
In his report on Bering Island Mollusca, (38), p. 216, Dali says, of two 
specimens collected on Bering Island by Stejneger, that the shell of these is 
thick, like the Arctic form figured by Dr. Kobelt, (Mon. Buc., Mart and 
Chemn.), but smaller and much darker. Mr. Dali has recently informed me 
that B. pererassum appears to be a good species, abundant on Commander 
Islands.

most nearly allied specimens of this and (smooth) forms of C. liratusB
