CEPHALOPODA. 
Xunieruus beaks of cephalupods were found in stomachs 
of the sea elephant (Miroimga Icoiiiiia). but the genus and 
species in default of other material are indeterminable.

Paltihi fucgii-iisis Reeve, Cnneh. Iconica, Patella, fig. 7,^, 1845. 
Dead specimens were obtained from the hill-tops at Pos- 
session Bay, where they were carried by the kelp gulls (Lants 
doiiiiiiicauns) of which they form the chief food. This species 
lives on the giant kelp of this region and }-oung specimens were 
found living at the Bay of Islands. [R. C. ^NI.] 
The variety fiicgiciisis is flatter and more strongly sculp- 
tured than the typical form but that the two forms are united 
by a gradual series of modifications is quite olivious in a good 
series of specimens.
