Their persistent but understanding inquiries as to its progress have been a stimulation. Thanks are extended to the American Philosophical Society for financial help (Grant No. 788) in connection with the accumulation of data and to Waldo Schmitt and authorities of the U. S. National Museum for providing the photo- graphic negatives of the types of Carpenter West Coast species in the Division of MoUusca. Those negatives have been placed on file in that division. The authori- ties of the British Museum ( Natural History) , Zoology Division, have generously presented photographs of the types of the species in that institution. Splendid co-operation has been given by all the institutions and their staffs who have been connected with the study of the Carpenter material.

Stratigraphic distribution of species 48 ABSTRACT Philip P. Carpenter ranks next to W. H. Dall and Paul Bartsch in the num- ber of marine molluscan species described from the West Coast, San Diego to British Columbia. More than 270 Carpenter species, fossil and Recent, and many more names are involved in the present study. Illustrations of more than 190 types and of many original specimens with pertinent data are included. Only 4 of about 50 pelecypod species and only about one-fifth of the t}'pes of the gastropods have had the types figured previously. Authentic whereabouts of the types have been determined, lists regarding depositories of types, type localities, evaluation of names, analysis of available Carpenter material, and historical background have been included. IJecause Carpenter was one of the important figures in early American conchology, the historical background presents a partial picture of that time (ca. 1841-1870). The fossil distribution of each Recent species where known is included. A stratigraphic distributional chart is inserted. This reveals the re- lationship between the fauna of the Miocene, Pliocene, Pleistocene, and Recent species of the area studied. The importance of the illustration of the large number of heretofore unfigured types of common species, fossil and Recent, may be re- flected in more refined taxonomic. ecological and paleoecological, statistical, and distributional studies of the late Cenozoic mollusks. INTRODUCTION PURPOSE Those who are familiar \\ith the marine molhiscan fauna of the West Coast do not need an explanation for placing on record, for the first time in most cases, the figures of Carpenter's types. For the benefit of those less well acquainted, the following facts may give a brief resume of the problem involved. The area of the species under discussion is confined to the West Coast of the United States from San Diego northward. It is the province covered by Dall in U. S. National Museum Bulletin (1921) No. 112 and that of the lists appearing in the Minutes of the Conchological Club of Southern California. Those lists make a convenient accompanying guide. Such a unit excludes those species de- scribed b}' Carpenter from south of San Diego, except where they range into the northern province. The southern areas from Panama north deserve a separate publication or publications. Illustrations and data have been accumulated with this in mind. Carpenter's IMazatlan Catalogue (1857) is a work unto itself and would be best illustrated with a series of plates to accompany the already printed text. The types of the species described in that catalogue are in the British Mu- seum (Natural History). Because of the magnitude of the problem it appeared proper to limit the area involved so that the major portion of the whole project could be completed in a reasonable length of time. Of 496 species of pelecypods in the region involved (the number which Dall compiled up to 1921 in Bulletin 112), nearly half were described by Dall. Car- penter described about 50 species or nearly one-tenth of the total number. Conrad is the only other worker who described a number (about 45^) comparable to that of Carpenter. DalP is the author of about half of the specific names of gastropods which he recorded from the same area, and Bartsch is the author of less than one- fifth of the same number. Carpenter ranks next in importance with about 176 species. No other person is credited with authorship of more than 40 species. There are approximately 270 species (including those of Carpenter and others) and many more names involved in the present study. Only 4 of the 50 pelecypod species described by Carpenter have had the types figured, and some of these figures are not adequate. Of about 176 gastropod species concerned prob- ably only about one-fifth have had the types illustrated. Because of the extensive monographic work of Pilsbry and early efiforts of Dall, the Amphineura described by Carpenter, either published or in manuscript, have been generally illustrated. Further discussion in regard to the chitons will be given under that group. The conspicuous lack of illustrations of the Carpenter types has been a stumbling block to the identification and interpretation of the many Carpenter species. Philip Carpenter described more than 500 new species and published 1 Figures, except those of Carpenter, derived by count in Bulletin 112. 2 Including species of joint authorship with I?artsch. The same species are also counted under Bartsch authorship. 4 MARINE MOLLUSCA DESCRIBED BY P. P. CARPENTER voluminous notes, yet only two of his papers include illustrations, and only one new species was figured by him, except for sectional drawings of several new species. The absence of figures in Carpenter's works has been a source of criticism of otherwise exceedingly deserving efforts. Less careful and less brilliant con- chologists of his day have not been so severely judged, for they included illustra- tions in their works. The chiton manuscript which was not complete at the time of Carpenter's death did contain the series of drawings which had been executed under Carpen- ter's supervision. Those drawings were deposited in the Smithsonian Institution, where fortimatcly the illustrations were available to Pilsbry. and many were pub- lished in his chiton monographs. These manuscript illustrations, as well as a series of drawings of the species of the Mazatlan Catalogue, are preserved in the archives of the United States National Museum. Some of the drawings were pub- lished by Dall and Bartsch. Letters in the files of the Redpath Museum reveal that Carpenter was concerned over the illustration of the West Coast fauna and that he and J. D. \\^hitney of the Geological Survey of California were negotiating in 1871 plans for drawings for a \\'est Coast conchological publication. Carpen- ter's death and the vicissitudes of the California Survey prevented such a funda- mental project from being com])leted. The second detrimental factor involved in the problem of the identification of species described by Carpenter from the West Coast has been misinformation and lack of information regarding the types. It has been assumed by many workers that Carpenter did not designate types and that most of the specimens have been lost. Neither of these assumptions is correct. An examination of Carpenter's original collections with original labels intact shows that type designations are marked ; some specimens are labelled ■'unique type." In many cases no holotype is designated, but several syntypes are stipulated as types. The writer has included under discussion of the types in each s]-)ecies the quotation of the label. This in many instances may be tied into the data as given in the original description. Unfortunately, in some cases more than one locality is included on the type label. One cannot, therefore, differentiate wliicli specimens belong to the respective localities. Duplicate sets of types have been discovered in the U. S. National Museum and the Redpath Museum. Fre- quently Carpenter's use of the word type would be equivalent to what modem authors term paratype. Although the collection at the Redpath Museum has re- mained intact since Carpenter's death, material at other institutions has been moved or rearranged. Hence, there could have been mixtures, and there has been loss of specimens. Carpenter had access to large collections on both sides of the Atlantic as well as the accumulation of an extensive one of his own. He received by gift or ex- change shells from chief collectors of his day, including such men as Cuming, Pease, Morch, Jeffreys, Tristram, M' Andrew, Henry Adams, Jewett, Newcomb, Cooper, Gould, Stearns, Gabb, Dall, Hemphill, and others. He identified the collections for the Smithsonian Institution at the headquarters and abroad, where the bulk of the shell collections were shipped to him. After he was established in PURPOSE J Montreal and affiliated with McGill University, his conchological studies con- tinued. Besides that bequeathed to AIcGill, collections were set him by the Smith- sonian Institution, the Geological Survey of California, the Boston Society of Natural History, and individuals who wished the benefit of his wide experience. It is consistent, then, that specimens which he used as the basis of the description of new species might be scattered when his death occurred in the midst of such activity. As can 1>e seen from the itemized list of type depositories included herein, the greater number of Carpenter types are in the United States National Mu- seum and the Redpath ^Museum. To avoid further confusion attention must be called to the fact that Mrs. Oldroyd in her worthy manual (1924-1927) based the listing of many type depositories on false assumptions. In addition, she used the original statement of the location of types as basis for actual location at the time of her writing. In many cases the two are not the same. Such statements in Oldroyd as "Mrs. Boyce of Utica, New York" (continued by Soot-Ryen. 1955. p. 62) and the "California Geological Survey" are particularly misleading and cause a great deal of unnecessary searching. In both cases the specimens at the time of Carpenter's description belonged in such categories, but through unac- countable changes such statements mean little or nothing in regard to the present whereabouts of the specimens. Mrs. Boyce was Colonel Jewett's daughter, and none of her collection exists in Utica today. Most of the specimens of the "Cali- fornia Geological Survey" which might be identified with the above are in the United States National Museum. Some are in the Museum of Paleontolog>% Uni- versity of California. The chief purpose of this report has been, therefore, to investigate, locate, and illustrate the types of the marine molluscan West Coast species described by Philip Pearsall Carpenter and to bring the data together to form a foundation on which researchers on the fauna can evaluate the original data in the light of more extensive information. In this report concentration on the study of the types of Carpenter's marine molluscan species does not mean that the author regards the principle of the es- tablishment of types as an end in systematics. It is only a means and a tool in taxonomy and an aid in refined methods of biological analysis of organisms. It is, however, a necessary implement, as is any original work, in the determination of taxonomic names. There are many examples shown in this paper where con- siderable writing and energy could have been .saved if all the original data in the problem had been available — for example, in Area pernoides vs. A. bailyi. In some cases nude names have been carried in lists, and one or more generic names applied to the same species. Obviously any statistics based on such data would be of little value. An extreme case of that point is that of Alvania aequiscidpta "Cpr" [Keep] given in the same list under three generic names. Schenck (1945, p. 518, 519) enumerated similar examples and pointed out the kind of taxonomic data needed for biometrical analysis of molluscan assemblages. It is the purpose of this report to provide such data, particularly the too long-de- layed illustration of the Carpenter types. 6 MARINE MOLLl'SCA DESCRIBED BY P. P. CARPENTER The writer has not pretended herein to make specific (hscriminations which must be based on large collections of the forms from the West Coast. Such work must be done by those who are situated in the area or have available the proper material. It has been the plan herein to make available to those distant workers the facts which are not accessible to them. PREPARATION In 1921 when arranging collections in Paleontological Laboratory of Cornell University the writer discovered two of Carpenter's lost moUuscan types from the Pleistocene inland from Santa Barbara (Van Winkle, 1921, p. 1-5, PI. 15, figs. 6-11). lliese were in the scattered material of the Jewett Collection which Ezra Cornell purchased about 1865. Twenty-three years later 93 Carpenter "types" were located (Palmer, 1945, p. 97-102) in the Peter Redpath Museum, McCill University, Montreal, Canada. The whereabouts of those tyi)es were ])reviously unknown. Details of the Car- penter shell collection in the Redpath Museum are given below under that head- ing. Photograjjhic negatives were made of the specimens in the Zoology Depart- ment at McCill by J. W. Pollack, and the ])rints later finished by the writer. A grant (No. 788) in 1945 from the American Philosophical Society (Pal- mer, 1946, p. 122-133) provided aid for the search of the remainder of the ma- terial ; two additional trips to McGill were included, and more types were found. Before 1946, examinations also had been made in the Redpath Museum, in the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, American Museum of Natural History, New York State Museum, Museum of Comparative Zoology at Har- vard University, Cornell University, and the Division of Mollusca, United States National Museum. Inquiries to the Department of Geology, Stanford University, and the De- partment of Paleontology, California Acadamy of Sciences, San Francisco, Cali- fornia, revealed that no Carpenter types existed there. Four trips were made to the Division of Mollusca, United States National Museum, where the greatest number of types are preserved. Examination, notes, and checking were accom- plished, and the specimens were photographed by the museum's photographic staff. The search for and verification of the existence of types in the Gould Collec- tion at the New York State Museum in Albany was facilitated by the employ- ment of the author as temporar}- ex])ert in /.oology during 1945-1946. This al- lowed a first-hand examination of the extensive molluscan collection of that or- ganization. A catalogue of the first duplicate series of the Reigen Collection of Mazatlau shells was iniblished as a result of ])art of the work (Palmer, 1951). At the request of Dr. llarald Rehder a paper entitled "Illustrations of Car- penter West Coast Molluscan Types" was read before the American Malaco- logical Union on August 15, 1946. A visit was made to the Redpath Museum in the spring of 1949 for the ex- amination and photographing of types which had been found subsequently and to check queries concerning previous notes. PHILIP PKARSALL CARPENTER / Through the generosity of Mr. T.ovell G. Mickles of Montreal, the molluscan collections of the Redpath Museum were reorganized in 1950-1951. The work was directed by the author, assisted by Vicente Conde of Cuba. This allowed further examination of the Carpenter Collection, and more types and pertinent specimens were discovered. Examination was made in 1951 of collections in the Chicago Museum of Natural History and the Chicago Academy of Sciences. The former contains a large set of specimens, identified by Carpenter, of species described by him. The author has been aided by the late G. L. Wilkins of the Zoology Depart- ment of the British Museum (Natural History). He checked the collections of that institution for possible types, provided the information from the labels on such specimens, and arranged for the photographing of them. Without his aid the data concerning the pertinent specimens in England could not have been in- cluded in this report. Harald Rehder, J. Wyatt Durham, H. A. Pilsbry, and John C. Armstrong co-operatively checked the collections and data in regard to queries and provided photographs of specimens in their respective institutions. In the course of the search for types and pertinent original material of Car- penter's West Coast species the authorities of the Redpath Museum brought to light about 140 letters in the Carpenter files of that institution. They represent communications from leading conchologists in America and abroad to Carpenter during the period 1859 to 1877. They contain facts concerning scientists, collec- tions, and natural history not compiled in printed accounts. Similar letters were inspected from the archives of the Boston Society of Natural History and the Museum of Comparative Zoology. More letters probably will be found. The writer hopes to complete a separate report describing details from original sources of a stage in American conchology not hitherto published. PHILIP PEARSALL CARPENTER LIFE Philip Pearsall Carpenter, an English Presbyterian minister, was one of the chief figures in the second period of American conchology, which the late W. H. Dall termed the Gouldian Period (about 1841-1870). Carpenter was born on November 4. 1819, in Bristol, England. He occupied the pulpit'"' at Stand (1841- 1846), near Manchester, and at Warrington from 1846 until 1858. At that time he made his first visit to America. He came with large boxes of shells from the Reigen Mazatlan collection which were destined for the State Cabinet of Natural History (Museum) at Albany, New York (Palmer, 1951, p. 5). He spent about a year and a half in America and travelled about 12,400 miles from Quebec to Falls of St. Anthony, Minnesota, to Charleston, South Carolina. xA-fter his return to England, he married a German lady, Minna Meyer. At the same time they 3 Carpenter's father was an eminent Unitarian preacher, Dr. Lant Carpenter ; a brother Russel was a minister, another brother was the celebrated scientist, Dr. W. B. Carpenter, and a sister Mary was the active philanthropist and reformer. 8 MARINE MOLLl'SCA DKSCRI BED RY P. P. CARPENTER adopted an American orphan boy who had helped Philip in the Smithsonian In- stitution and whom Carpenter befriended there. Contacts both scientific and human drew him back to America, and in November, 1865, he and his family returned to Montreal. There he ran a school for boys. He entered energetically into civic and religious life of the city and carried on his scientific pursuits, study- ing and arranging his extensive shell collection which he had brought from Eng- land and donated to McGill University. He died in Montreal May 24, 1877, and was buried in Mount Royal Cemetery. On his trip to the United States (1860) Carpenter was given the first degree of Doctor of Philosophy granted by the Regents of the State of New York. From the time of his visit to America he ceased to occupy a regular pulpit, but his activities in helping his fellows by lec- turing, preaching, organizing, or by kind deeds never lessened. He was a vehe- ment prohibitionist and abolitionist, a vegetarian, and an energetic worker for sanitation and reforms in conditions of the poor and illiterate. He was respected and loved by all. whether they agreed with his doctrines or not. SCIENTIFIC CAREER Philip Carpenter seemed to have had a natural love for shells. He was in- itiated into the study of mollusks in his early teens by the association with Samuel Stutchbury (1797-1859). zoologist, and Samuel Worsley^ [not known] geolo- gist, at tlie liristol Institution. This museum had rich collections of fossils and shells. Philip in 1832 arranged cabinets in that museum. A specimen of Macrocal- lista chione (Linnaeus) preserved in the Chicago Natural History Museum, bears the label. "This identical specimen was the first beginning of my collection of shells, being offered by my sister Mary and earned by me, as a prize for order ! I think in June. 1832 (31)." In 1833, he was helping Mr. Stutchbury 3 or 4 hours a day, working particularly on chitons. In the same year Carpenter became acquainted with Dr. J. E. Gray, Keeper of Mollusca in the British Museum, W'ho was a strong influence in the beginning of Carpenter's scientific career. In 1836, tlie Pritish Association for Promotion of Science met at Bristol, and Philip helped arrange the conchological collection. He had at that early age developed a discriminating judgment of species determination. In spite of his fondness for natural history. Carpenter continued his training for the ministry. He was ordained in 1841. In 1842, when contacts were made again with scientists of kindred interest at a meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in Manchester, his old love was revived. He visited with Robert Patterson (1802-1872). biologist. John Fleming (1785- 1857). zoologist, G. B. Sowerby (1812-1884). zoologist, C. W. Peach (1800- 1886). geologist. G. W. Wood (M.P.). Dr. William Buckland (1794-1856), geologist. Dr. C. G. B. Daubeny (1795-1867), botanist and chemist, and Prof. Baden Powell (1796-1860). mathematician. When the same association met at York (1844) he went with his brother, the esteemed scientist. Dr. W. B. Car- penter. He again accompanied the same brother to the meeting at Cambridge in * Carpenter (1858, p. 438) wrote, "It was to serve as eyes [Worsley was blind] to guide his knowledge, that I commenced the study of shells." PHILII' PEARSALL CARPENTER V 1845. From 1846-1858 he preached at Warrington. To help unemployed factory workers he founded an industrial school. To carry on the activities of the school as well as teach a trade, he managed to acquire an antiquated press and type and to learn printing. This was the beginning of the "Oberlin Press," on which he printed for himself and other reformers tracts and extended papers on sanitation, teetotalism, religious and school reports, or anything which Carpenter believed would better human conduct and conditions of life. Better machinery, type, and experience were gradually gained until in 1855-1857 his 552-page Catalogue of the Reigcn Collection of Ma::atlan Mollusca in the British Museum was printed by P. P. Carpenter at the Oberlin Press, by order of the Trustees of the British Museum. This was the largest single report that Carpenter published.^ He had in 1855, with the aid of a brother-in-law, purchased the famous Reigen Mazatlan shells. This became the turning point in his life. The events and his scientific labors in connection with those specimens occupied more of his time. A descrip- tion of the Mazatlan collection was included by Carpenter (1857b, p. 241-265; 1957a; 1860, p. 23-27; 1864b, p. 542, 548; 1872, p. 28-34; Palmer, 1951, p. 5) in his report to the British Association in 1856 (1857b) and again in 1863 (1864b) and in the introduction to the Mazatlan Catalogue as well as to the cata- logue of the first duplicate Mazatlan Collection presented to the State Cabinet of Natural History (Museum). Those publications are rare. Because a brief survey of the collection and Carpenter's association has been given by the author in a catalogue (Palmer, 1951) of the duplicate material at the New York State Mu- seum, further details will not be included here. Carpenter thought that a small industrial town such as Warrington was not a proper place to house permanently the primary selection of the material, including the types of new species described. Through the persuasion of Dr. J. E. Gray the original suite, about 8873 speci- m_ens, was deposited in the British Museum. Material several times that amount, from which he made up duplicate sets, was retained. Although at that time Carpenter was a novice in conchology there seemed no one better available to study the material. In addition, he was asked to prepare a report in 1855 for the British Association for the Advancement of Science, "on the Present State of our Knowledge with regard to the Mollusca of West Coast of North America." Thus he began scientific pursuits, not only by examining thousands of shells but by forging into a thorough and laborious compilation of the voluminous and scattered literature in which any mention was made of west American molluscan species. His abstracts, delineated with lists of species and references, were meant to include all original sources from the collection of Dom- bey. 1778 (Peru), to Bridges, 1856 (Panama), and of all other pertinent writ- ings and monographs. The resumes were followed by detailed geographic tables in which were embodied the data which had been extracted from the literature and analysis of the species in the faunal districts. This report of 318 pages (4 plates) was followed in 1863 (1864) by a supplementary report to the British Association on the Mollusca of the same area. In the supplement he corrected old 5 The chiton manuscript which remained unfinished at his death would have exceeded the Mazatlan catalogue in size and importance. 10 MARINE MOLLUSCA DESCRIBED BY P. P. CARPENTER errors, noted previous omissions, gave additional information on collections, ex- peditions, and original notes gained from his examination of previously identified material and from unidentified and undescribed species of shells that were sent to him through the Smitlisonian Institution or directly to him by collectors on the West Coast. Those two ]iapers are a wealth of concise information of eastern Pacific conchological literature from Linnaeus to Carpenter's time. Their useful- ness is impaired by the rarity of the publications which also include the Smith- sonian Institution reprint (1872) of the 1863 (1864) report. The latter could well be reprinted again. The reprint of Carpenter's papers by the Smithsonian Institution is referred herein as Reprint. 1872. (Sre bibliography.) The extensive size of the Mazatlan material induced and riveted the carrying on of Carpenter's natural-history bent. He made up duplicate sets of the Mazat- lan material. One set was accepted by the New York State Cabinet of Natural History (State Museum) at Albany, New York, on condition that Carpenter would bring the shells to America and arrange them (Palmer. 1951. p. 5-8). The details of the Albany collection have been written up ]\v the author and will not be repeated here. Carpenter sailed for America December 8. 1858, and did not return until June. 1860. During that time he had arranged the collection at Albany and made a firm friend of Col. Ezekiel Jewett. curator of the State Cabinet of Natural His- tory. Carpenter later described new species from Jewett's collection of West Coast mollusks. He visited ^lontreal three times and lectured at McGill Univer- sity at the request of Sir William Dawson, principal. Common interests and re- spect were formed between Dawson and Carpenter and resulted in permanent friendship and eventual association in IMontreal in the museum at McGill Uni- versity. One of his chief objects in coming to the United States was to examine types of described species, particularly western American species, in order to compare them with those specimens in England. His natural-history bent led him to Dr. A. A. Gould in P>oston, Louis Agassiz at Cambridge, the C. P). Adams collection at Amherst, Massachusetts, the Bland collection in Brooklyn, Binney's collection of land shells in Burlington, Vermont, the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, Professors McCrady, Ravenal, and Gibbs in Charleston. South Carolina, and John G. Anthony at Cincinnati ; he made a collecting trip for Unionidae with Alpheus Hyatt in the Green River in Kentucky. He was em- ployed for 5 months in the winter of 1859-1860, by Joseph Henry, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, in unpacking and arranging the shells of that in- stitution. When he returned to England in June, 1860, large quantities of shells were sent to him from the Smithsonian for comparson with types in England, especially with those of Hugh Cuming. He spent a large portion of the time in the next 5 years in the museum at Warrington, where he built u]) natural-history collections, worked on Smithson- ian shells, published the description of new Pacific Coast mollusks, attended PHILIP PEARSALL CARPENTER 11 meetings of the Britisli Association for Advancement of Science, where he was of great help in arrangements, and continued lecturing and some preaching. On October 26, 1865, he and his family sailed from England for Montreal where he spent the remainder of his life except for one trip Home in 1874. In 1866, he was approached in regard to a professorship of natural history at Cornell University, ithaca, New York. But his ties were too strong in Alontreal for him to shift to Yankeeland. His health declined gradually until he finally succumbed to typhoid fever, May 24, 1877. In exchanging ]\Iazatlan shells and in the extensive arrangement of duplicate sets for the Smithsonian Institution, Carpenter accumulated an extensive collec- tion of his own. Although he had mounted and arranged the greater portion of his collection, which is in the Redpath Museum at AIcGill University, his death ended the work. His early death also prevented the finishing of a large and au- thoritative work on the chitons which was to have been published by the Smith- sonian Institution. The work was in manuscript form with the illustrations drawn, but it had not reached the final written stage for publication. Much of the information was published by Dall, in his smaller chiton articles, and by Pilsbry, in his chiton monographs. Both had access to Carpenter's manuscript and illus- trations, and both used his notes freely, with appreciative acknowledgment, and witii more credit to Carpenter than a strict application of international zoological nomenclatural rules will allow. Philip Carpenter, in addition to the Ph. D. granted by the Regents of the University of the State of New York, was a corresponding member of the Acad- emy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, the California Academy of Sciences, and the Lyceum of Natural History in the City of New York. He was an hon- orary member of the Natural History Society of Northumberland, Durham, and Newcastle-on-Tyne. ASSOCIATION WITH INSTITUTIONS AND COLLECTIONS Mazatlan collection. — In the spring of 1855, with the help of his brother-in- law, Mr. Herbert Thomas, Carpenter purchased for 50 pounds the famous Ma- zatlan Collection of shells. Up to that period, with the exception of Hugh Cum- ing's material, it was the greatest collection ever taken to Europe. The specimens had been gathered with care b}- Frederick Reigen, a Belgian, from 1848 to 1850 at Mazatlan, Gulf of California. Practically all had been taken alive. Carpenter (1864b, p. 540) noted in his discussion of Major Rich (U. S. Expl. Exped.) that Rich had met Reigen at Mazatlan and had reported that Reigen had been called before the police because of the stench from the decomposing mollusks on his premises. The collection contained few strays, and large numbers of individuals of the species made it a unique series to illustrate suites of variation. For details of the collection and the catalogue which Carpenter published on it. see Carpenter's Report to British Association for 1856 (1857b), the Mazatlan Catalogue (1857a), Report to P.ritish Association for 1863 (1864b), and Palmer (1951,). Carpenter described 222 new species in the IMazatlan Catalogue (1857) and listed 694 species. The first collection consisted of 8873 specimens mounted on 12 MARINE MOLLUSCA DESCRIBED BY P. P. CARPENTER 2529 tablets.^ This primary collection was deposited in the British Museum (Na- tural History). Drawings were made of the specimens of the species described in the catalogue. A set of these drawings is in the United States National Mu- seum, but no complete set of illustrations of the Catalogue was ever printed. The first duplicate series of shells (6584 specimens) and pictures of Mazatlan material were brought to America by Carpenter and deposited in the New York State Cabinet of Natural History (Museum). (See Palmer, 1951.) The Redpath Museum has a large and partially mounted series. Other museums have dupli- cates from the Reigen collection through distribution by Carpenter. Illustrations of the types of the species described by Carpenter from Mazatlan are not included in this report. The figuring of the already printed catalogue would constitute a separate major work. A list of the species described by Carpenter from Mazatlan, which range northward into the California area is included herein. British Museum (Natural History) .—Although never in residence at the British Museum, Philip Carpenter began his scientific career under the inspira- tion of Dr. J. E. (Iray, Keeper of Mollusca of that institution. Through Gray's influence the first set of the Reigen Mazatlan collection was presented to the British Museum. In consequence of this, Carpenter was asked to write the cata- logue of that collection in the British Museum (1857b). Friendly and mutually profitable relations continued through Carpenter's life not only with the Museum but with the eminent conchologists of his day. He received advice, help, and un- restricted use of collections and library from Hugh Cuming, J. E. Gray, R. M. Andrew, J. D. Gaskoin, L. Reeve, W. Clark, W. Bean, S. Hanley, J. Alder, R. D. Darbishire, W. Baird, H. and A. Adams, T. Hincks, S. P. Woodward, G. B. Sowerby, and F. Archer. Labels in his collection testify to the associations he established and to the confidence he inspired. U. S. Exploring Expedition and A. A. Gould.— In the Report to the British Association for Advancement of Science for 1856 (1857a, p. 208-213) Carpenter listed the dates, the ships used, the localities visited and the species described and determined by Dr. A. A. Gould. Again in 1863 (1864b, p. 529-532, 578, 582, 583). in a report to the same body of British scientists, he enumerated from first- hand information the trials connected with the making of the Gould collections. At the request of Joseph Henry, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Car- penter was employed in 1859 to arrange the .shell material of the above expedi- tions. Previously Gould had. as Carpenter acknowledged in the Mazatlan Cata- logue ('1857a, p. iv. footnote) ". . . intrusted to my care, and to the perils of the Atlantic, the whole of his collections and notes from W. American coast, for comparison with those known in this country." Gould's and Carpenter's names were linked in joint authorship in 1856 (Gould and Carpenter, 1856, p. 198- 208). « Tablets containing a numbered suite of shells are recorded in sequence in the published catalogue. Hence, a collection so mounted and numbered can lie tied in definitely with the published notes. PHILIP PEARSAIJ. CARPENTER 13 New York State Cabinet of Natural History (Museum). — Carpenter's asso- ciation with the New York State Cabinet of Natural History was consummated by his donation and arrangement of the first duphcate series of the Reigen Col- lection of Mazatlan shells (1859). The story and analysis of that collection have been published (Palmer, 1951). Smithsonian Institution. — A brief summary of the general activities of the Smithsonian Institution is presented by Carpenter (1864b, p. 578). A list of the sources of the collections in the Smithsonian at that time was included. The sources included material from eight expeditions, beginning with the U. S. Ex- ploring Expedition, 1837-1840, through the expedition of the U. S. North-West Boundary Survey, 1857-1861, under Com. A. Campbell, with Dr. C. B. R. Ken- nerley and George Gibbs as collectors. Sixteen private collectors up to the same period had provided additional critical material to the collections of the Smith- sonian. Many new forms found by several of those collectors were described by Carpenter. He spent 5 months (1859-1860) in Washington, D. C, living in the Smithsonian Institution building. The work on the collections could not be com- pleted in that short time. Arrangements were made, and the specimens were shipped to England. Carpenter compared the specimens with named forms in the Hugh Cuming Collection in the British Museum (Natural History), with the help of Cuming. A special label "Named by Hugh Cuming. Esq. for the Smith- sonian Institution, Washington, D. C." was printed to indicate such service. This is one of several printed labels associated with Carpenter's labors on the collections which may be found in the U. S. National Museum, and in institu- tions, such as the New York State Museum and the Redpath Museum, which acquired material from the Smithsonian Institution. Warrington Free Museum and Library. — ^After Carpenter's return from America to Warrington in June 1860. he arranged with the Warrington Museum for the use of an unoccupied room and rented three rooms from a house adjoin- ing. There he worked on the collections which w^ere sent from the Smithsonian, large collections he had made in America for the Warrington Museum, and his own. He had purchased all the remaining shells of the Reigen Mazatlan stores, part of the C. B. Adams material from Panama, Jamaica, St. Thomas, and Bermuda. He also became agent for some leading naturalists in negotiating transactions in connection with their duplicates. About half of Carpenter's papers were written at Warrington, including his valuable and comprehensive Supplementary Report on the Present State of our knozvledge with regard to the MoUusca of the West Coast of North America, which was reprinted, with 13 of his other articles, by the Smithsonian Institution in 1872. He remained at Warrington until his de- parture for Montreal in October 1865. J. R. le B. Tomlin wrote (Personal com- munication, November 11. 1947) that he did not believe the Warrington Museum contained any types. J. R. Rimmer, Director of the Municipal Museum and Art Gallery, Warrington, examined the list of missing types of Carpenter species, as included herein, and reported (Personal communication, October 2. 1956) that there are no types of Carpenter species in that Museum. 14 MARINE MOLLUSCA DESCRIBED BY P. P. CARPENTER RcdpatJi Muscimi, McGill University. — McGill College (University) ac- cepted the Carpenter collection October 26, 1867, on condition that Carpenter arrange the material, and this he worked on nntil his death in 1877. He had taken iZ years to form the collection, and its monetary valne had been estimated by Sowerl)y as 1000 ponnds. Although it contained few expensive shells it was val- uable because so many specimens had been compared with types. It is important to students of the West Coast fauna in ])articular because of its large number of undisturbed types of species described by Carpenter. Present-day collections con- tain greater numbers of shells, better preserved, and more carefully collected, but the importance of the Carpenter collection is its pertinence to taxonomy. It con- tains duplicate shells from original collection of species, such as those described by Adams from Japan (Kuroda and Habe, 1954) which have never been illus- trated and which from lack of original material are obscurely known today. The Redpath Museum molluscan stores have been discussed briefly elsewhere (Palmer, 1945. p. 97-102; Cleghorn, 1950. p. 70). COLLECTORS OF WEST COAST SPECIES DESCRIBED BY CARPENTER Philip Carpenter was never on the Pacific Coast of North America and did not collect any of the shells of the species he described. Such published statements as that of Kelsey (1902, p. 144) in a note on Scrridens ohlongiis Cpr. in which he quoted Dall as saying, "the single valve found by Dr. Carpenter at San Diego, in 1866, was on record." are misleading. Kelsev nu'sunderstood words of Dall in regard to the record. Collections referred to as Carpenter Collections have been inferred by some persons unfamiliar witli the history of West Coast associations to be material collected by Carpenter. Such a denotation in association with col- lections may indicate that either the material was of Carpenter's transactions or identification. Most of the shells from the area of this report, from which Carpenter segre- gated and described new species, were obtained through tlie Smithsonian Institu- tion and/or the California Geological Survey. The collectors of such material were listed by Carpenter (18641), p. 579). Those pertinent to this monograph are briefly given below : (1) "James G. Swan, from Port Townsend. Cape Flattery, Neeah Isic] Bay, and the neighboring shores of Vancouver ; at intervals, during many years." (Also, Carpenter, 1864b. p. 606) Mr. Swan, as Indian teacher at Neah Bay, N.W\T., trained the children to gather shells. Appropriate labels printed by the .Smithsonian Institution may be found in the collections distributed Ijv that institution following the identification of the species by Carpenter. These labels read. '"Collected by the Indian children at Neeah Bay {sic] W. T. and Vancouver by Mr. J. G. Swan (Teacher)." The following new species collected by Swan were described by Carpenter (1864d, p. 423-429; 1865a. p. 28-32). See'text for discussion of each.

(Carpenter, 1864b, p. 579). Carpenter (1864b, p. 607, 608, 610) presented a discussion of J. G. Cooper's 16 MARINE MOLLUSCA DESCRIRKD BY P. P. CARPENTER collection and his relation to the "California State Geological Survey" under the direction of J. D. Whitney and W. M. Gabb, paleontologist of the same survey. Cooper sent shells and wrote copious notes to Carpenter in regard to the speci- mens found. Many of those records, with drawings, are preserved in the Redpath Museum.

The following are based on shells from Taylor or Cassidy only : Kcllia rotundata Monterey, Taylor Cylichna planata San Diego, Cassidy ? DaphncUa aspera , Monterey, Taylor (5) Rev. J. Rowell of San Francisco provided material for a few Carpenter species, from Farallon Islands and especially from Panama and Gulf of Cali- fornia (Carpenter, 1865d, p. 278-281). They are not included in this report unless the species extends into the northern regions. (6) Mr. John Xantus, of the U. S. Coast Survey, from Cape San Lucas. Most of the species from Xantus material were described by Carpenter (1864a). They are not included in this report unless they range northward. For de- tails of Xantus collecting see Carpenter (1864b, p. 616, 617). (7) The material collected by Col. E. Jewett from the West Coast formed his private collections. At the time of Carpenter's writing (1864b) the shells belonged to Jewett's daughter, Mrs. Pjoyce of Utica, New "^'ork. They were scattered during the period following, and most are now in the U. S. X^a- tional Museinn, Redjxath Museum, Cornell University, or lost. (See Car- penter, 18(34b, p. 535-539.) Many belong to the fauna south of the region involved in the present paper.

Carpenter) The following list was compiled in 1945 by Dr. Fritz Haas, Curator of Lower Invertebrates. The nomenclature is that used by Carpenter. Information regard- ing locality and number of specimens was added by the author in January 1951. The Chicago Natural History Museum (then Field Columbian Museum of Chicago) purchased in 1895 a first set of duplicates of the "Philip Carpenter Collection of Shells" from the Peter Redpath Museum, McGill University. The collection consisted of 4039 specimens (Haas, personal communication, Dec. 27, 1944; see Haas, 1944, and anonymous, 1895). No types were found among this material. Many of the specimens had early Smithsonian Institution labels and were collected by Jewett, Xantus, Swan, and j. G. Cooper. The collection is important in that it is a primary source of Car- penter identifications of specimens made by the original collectors. Where the type has not been found, as in Turrit ella coo peri, the shells would be* available from which to choose a neotype. The collection would also furnish additional specimens of original material by which one is able to obtain a better concept of what Carpenter considered the species to be if only the holotype or a few syntypes were available. The list is inserted to give the present location of source material for those who are interested in comprehensive work on species or genera. The spelling, abbreviations, and punctuation of the specific names and locali- ties are given as on the original labels.

Compiled by the author in 1946 from original labels. Spelling and form are as on labels. 34 MARINE MOLLITSCA DESCRIBED BY P. P. CARPENTER logical Survey (J. G. Cooper) material. Some were included in the C. B. Adams collection and acquired from Amherst College. Some came from the Peabody Museum at Salem. The specimens were labelled "cotypes," but they do not belong in that category. Some have the original Smithsonian labels, such as "collected by Indian children at Neeah [sic] Bay, W. T. and Vancouver by Mr. J. G. Swan, teacher." These labels, as has been explained previously, definitely date the col- lections and source, but they cannot, unless otherwise indicated, be classed as Carpenter types. By comparing the list included with that of the missing types, a few might serve as a source of neotypes. There were about 19 at the time of an examination of the collection in 1946. More specimens may be found later which were originally labelled or indicated by Carpenter as "type." Some had original notes signed by Carpenter. The specimens were either of extraneous, obscure, or manuscript types which did not enter into the subject of this report.

Miscellaneous Collections The American Museum of Natural History has two collections, Haines and Crooke, which contain Carpenter marine molluscan species. The Haines Collec- tion was bought in about 1894, and the Crooke Collection was probably acquired at an earlier date. Although the material includes a considerable number of specimens of Carpenter species there is no record that they were identified by Carpenter except in the case of 11 species in the Haines Collection, none of which came from the area of this report. Characteristic spelling and places sug- gest that some of the "northwest" specimens came from original material. The Chicago Academy of Sciences (Accession No. 35) purchased in 1894 or 1895, 3000'^ specimens of mollusks, worldwide, land, fresh water, and marine, ^ The figures in the reference (Anonymous, 1895, p. 55) would not be 3000 "species" but specimens [1376 species]. 36 MARINE MOLLUSCA DESCRIBED BY P. P. CARPENTER from the Boston Society of Natural History. The shells had been identified by P. P. Carpenter. Accession No. 10 of the Chicago Academy represents 3000 speci- mens received from the Academy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia in 1894. A few Carpenter species are represented in that material. An examination of the records does not reveal any original Carpenter material. The specimens of Car- penter's species were acquired after Carpenter's death and probably after 1900. There are in the Redpath Museum duplicate specimens of species described by Carpenter from the West Coast. The Redpath Carpenter collection is in the process of rearrangement and cataloging. Many specimens were scattered, so that a complete list of Carpenter's species of this area cannot yet be made. More types will probably turn up before the work is finished (Table 1).

This list is not in- tended to represent original research nor a verification of specific determinations STRATIGRAPIIIC DISTRIBUTION OF THE SPECIES 47 as given by the 7iJ authors from whose works the hst is compiled. The Hsts are given for reference to papers which report occurrence of the species other than Recent. Unless otherwise stated the mark of occurrence refers to California. Grant and Gale (1931) included the compilation of range; in many cases a note refers to their monograph. The definite localities will be found in each author's paper. In addition to the list of authors given workers should consult Burch ( 1947, p. 1-18) which is a discussion with charts of comparison between the moUusks of Pleistocene beds (Los Angeles County, California) with the Recent fauna. The value of the stratigraphic column depends on the correct identification of the species. The writer cannot verify the identification made in these lists. As stated herein, it is hoped that the illustration of the type specimens will be a means of checking the identifications made in these lists. Many may be modified thereby. The list is not intended to be complete. The following is the key to the numbers used in the stratigraphic distribution of species ( Table 2 ) . 1. Woodring, Bramlette, and Kew (1946) 2.

Original descriptions of the majority of Carpenter's species are included in that text, and such quotations are not re- peated in this report. On comparing the quoted descriptions in Oldroyd with the originals one finds that the last remarks including the localities of the original descriptions are omitted in nearly every case. Since the original locality and final remarks are in many cases the crux in deciding debatable questions that portion of the remarks must be included in original data. Attention is called to such omis- sions and quotation of the same herein. Opinion 52, International Rules of Zoo- logical Nomenclature stipulates : "The citation of the type locaHty of a species is not sufficient to establish a name under Article 25a of the Code. If specific characters are given in addition to the type locality, the type local- ity becomes a part of the description and is to be considered as an important element in de- termining the identity of species." To anyone who has followed Mrs. Oldroyd's text and that of Dall (1921) it becomes apparent that she followed Dall in details of reference, authors, and re- marks. Where typographical errors, omissions, and errors of fact are in Dall, they are repeated in Oldroyd. In a large number of the copies in Oldroyd of the Car- penter original descriptions, typographical mistakes are numerous. Such correc- tions are inserted in the text of the discussions of the species in this paper. This has not been done in a spirit of criticism but only so that time and labor may be saved for others who do not have access to the original articles of Carpenter. Even the 1872 Reprint by the Smithsonian Institution of many of Carpenter's papers is out of print and unobtainable by most people. ^Measurements in Carpenter's text are referred to as poll, (pollex = thumb) or without such designation. In the Preface to the Mazatlan Catalogue, the ex- planation states that, "all measurements of length are given in inches and decimal portions." Where "poll." is not inserted in his data, the writer assumed the meas- urements to be in inches and used 25.4 mm. to an inch to convert the measure- ments into modern usage. In the article on the new species from California (1865g, p. 133, footnote) Carpenter defined pollex as 2.53 cm. Hertlein and Strong noted (1946, p. 76) that Dr. Teng-Chien Yen investigated the length of pollex while at the British Museum and stated the measurement to be approxi- mately 2 cm. Since the writer used Carpenter's measurements it would seem that one would arrive nearer his results by using his definition of pollex. The differ- ences are slight between the three figures for the type of measurements involved. In the Mazatlan Catalogue, Carpenter (1857, p. Ill) defined measurements for the bivalves as : "long, from the umbo to the middle of the ventral margin ; lot. from the anterior to the posterior ends ; alt. the thickness of the closed valves." But in his later papers (1864a, p. 311, footnote) he changed this defini- 57 58 MARINE MOLLTTSCA nESCRIP.KD BY P. P. CARPENTER tion in regard to "long": "Tlic measures of length [long.] are taken from the anterior to the posterior margins." Unless one notes the difference of definition in these two specifications it is confusing when trying to reconcile the two systems of measurements used by Carpenter. There appears to be a difference of opinion concerning the procedure to be used when renaming a preoccupied scientific name as to the type of the new name. Dall, and he has been followed by some modern workers, when applying a new name under the above circumstances frequently chose a new type for the species. If the new name is definitely supplied for an old one, as such, it would seem more logical and less confusing to the interpretation of the species if the type of the original name is retained. In this view the writer agrees with Strong (1928b, p. 197, footnote) that the type of Eucosmia variegata Carpenter when renamed by Dall remained the type established by Carpenter and not a new one designated by Dall. Strong, however, reversed his method when substituting with Hertlein (Strong and Hertlein, 1945, p. 105) a new name for the preoccupied Lucina un- data Carpenter (not of Lamarck, 1819). Those authors chose a new shell from modern collections as the type of the new name. In this case there might be an exception because the original locality was not definite. However, the writer be- lieves that the first endeavor would be to try to locate the original specimen in the Cuming Collection upon which the diagnosis of Carpenter's species was said to have been written (Carpenter, 1865d, p. 279; 1872, p. 272), In this matter of re- taining the original type for the new name, tlie writer concurs with Dr. Fritz Haas (Personal communication, March 2, 1945). If new types are selected (see case of Tellina biittoni Dall) possibly the subse- quent autlior might not have the same species. In that case the new name would represent a new species, and the preoccupied name would still be unnamed. If the type of the preoccupied name is still in existence, it would seem better to re- tain the original type. If the original type were lost the same procedure would be followed as in the case of choosing any neotype — i.e., designating a topotypic shell if possible (see also the case of Tellina hiittoni Dall). Therefore, in this paper, where the original type of a renamed species is in existence the original is retained as the type and any later type designation disregarded. The designation and use of neotypes have been customary in molluscan studies. During the course of study of this monograph the term was provisionally used in a few cases. Neotypes should be designated in those cases where it is known now that the original types have been lost. However, because of the con- ditions provided in the Rules of Zoological Nomenclature, 1953, it is not feasible to propose neotypes in this paper which is ready for the press. According to the decisions (Copenhagen, 1953, p. 30, 31) the designation of a neotype must be published in the Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature, and its status is not legal- ized until it remains unchallenged for a period of "5" years. Consequently, neo- types should be designated and publicized during the preparation of a paper and not in a finished report. Suggestions have been made herein as to specimens which would qualify as neotypes. The following institutions have boon contacted, and examinations of the speci- EXPLANATORY REMARK 59 mens have been made by the writer or inquiries have been answered by persons in authority. Where the notation in regard to the depository of type in the text of this report is given as "Not found, "such a statement means that it is not known in any of these institutions. These organizations are those which were possible sources of Carpenter material.

The locality of the type is given in the text and rarely repeated in the explana- tion of the plates ; the measurements of the types are included in the figure ex- planatory data and infrequently duplicated in the text. Carpenter used a form of shorthand (Rich, 1764) in his labels and notes which was utilized by English Presbyterian ministers (1860-1870 ca.). The chi- ton manuscript which remained unfinished at Carpenter's death was replete with the shorthand notations, much to Ball's regret. Fortunately, R. D. Darbishire in England deciphered the script, which allowed a better understanding of the thesis by Dall and Pilsbry than would otherwise have been possible. 60 MARINE MOLLUSCA DESCRIBED BY P. P.

Geol. Sur., Prof. Paper 207, p. 78 in part As Grant and Gale (1931) and Schenck (1939) determined, Arnold (1903) must be credited with the name Nucula suprastriata and not Carpenter. The Pleistocene specimen figured by Arnold is the holotype (lost) of that species. There is a manuscript type, no. 23247 in the U. S. Nat. Museum, of N. suprastriata con- sisting of two specimens labelled, "Catalina 30 fms. Cooper." The shells are opposite valves with the margins broken. The smaller and more complete of the two is figured herein. The photo shows the amount of reticulation in the sculpture. On the larger fragment the reticula- tion is stronger near the margin. The specimen figured falls within the measurements of A'', exiqua Sowerby as enumerated by Schenck, but the length of the second type would reach at least 6 mm. There are in the Redpath Aluseum 6 specimens (including both valves), no. 15373, labelled "Nucula suprastriata Catalina Is. 30 fm. Cooper type," in Carpenter's hand- writing. The name of Carpenter has no nomenclatural status, and as suggested by .Schenck the Recent specimens of Carpenter probably belong to A'^. exiqua Sowerby.^ Schenck limited N. suprastriata Arnold to the Pleistocene forms. Woodring, Bramlette, and Kew suggested that the California Recent and Pleistocene shells be separated from the living southern N. exiqua as a subspecies. The figures and notes of the original specimens of "N. suprastriata Carpenter, ms." are included, because the name has been brought into literature by authors with conjecture as to its proper identity.

One vial contains two valves loose and two broken opposite valves. They have a label "Cp 984" which is the original "State Collection" number. The entire valves measure 9 mm., length; 5 mm., height; 1 mm., thickness (one valve) which corresponds fairly closely to Carpenter's measurements; 9.39 mm., long.; [lat. 0.10]"; 2.5 mm., t. (both valves), and also to the length indicated by Dall. The other vial in the same suite contains a double speci- men with the label "type fig'd." The specimens measure 10 mm., length; 5 mm., height; 2j^ mm., thickness (both valves). The label suggests that it was the specimen figured by Dall, but the measurement given by Dall is closer to that of the other specimen (Cp. 984). According to the U. S. National Museum Catalogue, No. 107420 should include only one specimen. This suggests that the original specimen is the broken shell aiid that the complete specimens were added later, ix)ssibly by Dall who figured one. The specimen (pi. 2, fig. 6) is, therefore, chosen as the lectotype. Although the exterior of the shells of this species has been frequently illustrated, the in- terior has not been figured heretofore.

[Gould and Carpenter, 1856c, p. 202] The critical reference in regard to this form is that of Carpenter (1864b, p. 616), in which he noted that the specimen, as well as that of 13 other names, had never been collected by Dr. Cooper or by members of the California Survey. In regard to B. pcrnoides Carpenter added that it was "ver}^ probably an error in Dr. Gould's label." In a letter from J. G. Cooper to Carpenter dated March 14, 1864^2 Cooper included a list of molluscan species which did not occur on the California coast. "Byssoarca pcrnoides" was one of them. This shell is undoubtedly extraneous, and Carpenter was right in assigning the label of "San Diego" as an error. There is a right valve in the Carpenter Collection in the Redpath Museum which has the label "Barbatia ? pernoides Cpr. PZS 1856, p. 202 ? Panama." The shells measure 17 mm. length, 12 mm. height, and 5 mm. thickness. Carpenter's measurements of the holotype would be 17.2 mm. length, 13.4 mm. width, and 8.3 mm. thick- ness.^^ With the exception of the thickness the shell measures practically the same. It could well be the shell Carpenter described. In lieu of any authentic specimen this individual could serve as a neotype. A specimen labelled as type has not been found. The above-mentioned specimen is illustrated herein. This is not the A. pernoides illustrated by Burch nor speci- mens which the writer has obtained from collectors labelled "A. pernoides Strong." Those shells are much smaller and are different generically. They are the Acar bailyi Bartsch. B. pcrnoides belongs more to the subgenus Oliquarca Sacco, 1898, by the arrangement of the ligamental area than it does to Barbatia, s.s. (Reinhart, 1935, p. 24, pi. II, figs. d,d').

National Museum. These were specimens Cooper collected and Carpenter labelled. Dall used Carpenter's name in 1898 and referred to the species as of Carpenter. Others have followed Dall (Howard, 1953). The species name should be credited to Dall only. There are in the Redpath Museum no. 15374 two specimens labelled "Nuculina munita Catalina Is. 30 fm. Cooper type." These specimens cannot be termed syntypes because Dall did not have access to them when he described the species. They would be valuable topotypes because they came from the Cooper collection. H. munita is not typical Huxleyia, but it belongs in that genus more than in Nucinella. The species lacks anterior teeth. Oldroyd repeated Dall's description of the species (Oldroyd, p. 36). Rehder and Schenck pointed out that Niicula petriola Dall is synonymous with C. munita. Howard (1953) reported the species to be viviparous. Syntypes. — U. S. National Museum, no. 23243, three specimens, label "30 fms. Cooper, Catalina Is." Distribution. — Recent.

Recent Forrester Island, Alaska, to Gulf of California (PI. 1, figs. 11-16) The name Philobrya was constructed by Carpenter and intended by him as a substitute for his preoccupied term Bryophila. Carpenter first published the name Philobrya in the in- dex (1872) to the Smithsonian Reprint of many of his papers. Carpenter has always been credited as author of the generic name. However, as sometimes happens by an interchange of unpublished names between workers. Carpenter's replacement name of Philobrya was first published by Cooper (1867). Cooper, is, therefore, the author of the name. There is no indi- cation in the Cooper list that the name is a manuscript name of Carpenter, so that there is no authority for crediting "Carpenter in Cooper." Cotton and Godfrey (1938) placed this genus in the special family Philobryidae. Philobrya setosa (Carpenter) (PI. 1, figs. 11-16) Bryophila setosa Carpenter, 1864, April, Ann. Mag. Nat.

If this specimen were not the fossil and in this case the supplementary mater- ial, it would be the logical specimen for the neotype. It seems better to select a Recent speci- men for that category. In choosing a neotype from this material, one must balance the rela- tive merits of suites (1) and (2). Specimens of (1) are topotypes but not by the original collector (Cassidy, Cooper), whereas specimens from (2) are by the original collector but not from the type locality. The Redpath Museum Collection is so far the only one which has yielded specimens identified by Carpenter. The U. S. National Museum does not contain specimens of the forma collected by Cassidy, Cooper, or Blake (H. A. Rehder, May 29, 1950, personal communication).

Broader, ribs close, small, smooth, bifurcating. Passes from hastatus toward Islandicus." [Carpenter, 1864b, p. 645] Pec ten rubidus Hinds, 1844, was described from a specimen from Alaska (no definite place). This is not the P. rubidus Martyn (1784) Dall (1905, p. 415; Griffen, Sherborn, and Marshall, 1936, p. 30; WinckAvorth, 1929, p. 228) = P. islandicus Miiller, 1776. Although Hinds (1844) and Reeve (1853) figured the species their illustrations do not reveal the fine details of sculpture. Dall (1898) renamed P. rubidus Hinds because of the use of the name by Martyn (1784). Dall gave the new name navarchus to the species and designated it as a subspecies of P. Iieri- ceus Gould (1850). Martyn's name is eliminatedi^ because his work (1784) is nomenclator- rially inadequate. Hind's name is available and stands for the species. Dall's name of naz'or- chus is unnecessary and falls in synonymy with P. rubidus Hinds. Chenu's republication in 1845 of Alartyn docs not validate the name of P. rubidus iMartyn, Chenu, over P. rubidus Hinds, because it was a year later than that of Hinds. Pecten Hindsii was the name given by Carpenter to the specimen identified by Dr. \Vm. Baird as P. rubidus Hinds. The shell was from Vancouver. It had been collected by Dr. Lyall of H. M. Ship "Plumper" and had been deposited in the British Museum (Vancouver and Californian Table, sixth column, no. 28, fide Carpenter, 1864b, p. 604-606). The Lyall specimen Carpenter thought was not the same as P. rubidus Hinds. It is the Lyall specimen which would be the type of P. Hindsii Carpenter. Apparently that shell has been lost,-° for it is not in the British Museum (Natural History) now. But P. hindsii Carpenter is now regarded as synonymous with P. mwarchus Dall = P. rubidus (Burch, 1944, no. 35, p. 6) Hinds, so that the type of the former would become the type of the species. The type of P. rubidus Hinds has also been lost. Hind's shell came from Alaska (33 fathoms), which limits the type locality to the Alaskan area. There are in the Carpenter Collection in the Redpath Museum 3 specimens labelled by Carpenter, "Pecten Hindsii Cpr. ^ rubidus, H. C. Sitka" and 6 specimens labelled by Car- penter, "Pecten (? var.) Hindsii Cpr. = rubidus var. H. Cum. not Hinds. Neeah Bay. Swan." The 3 Redpath Museum specimens from Sitka, Alaska, measure respectively, 19 mm., 29 mm., 15 mm., width; 22 mm., 32 mm., 18 mm., height; 3 mm., 5 mm., 3 mm., thickness. Photographs of the 3 specimens are included herein. In 1865 Carpenter included under P. Hindsii specimens collected by Kennerley from Puget Sound and Vancouver shells of Lord.

Soc, vol. 31, pt. 2, p. 60 Arnold's (1906) doubt concerning the correctness of the original label of "Santa Barbara," and lack of specimens in later collections from California, has led authors to believe that this species has not been found north of the Gulf of California. Grant and Gale (1931), Hertlein (1935), and Keen (1937, p. 19) made a reasonable inclusion under P. tuinbecensis d'Orbigny, 1846. Two syntypes of P. paucicostatus Carix>nter, No. 15643b, labelled "Types Sta. Barbara Jewett Cooper Catalina Id.," are in the U. S. National Museum. There are also two syn- types in the Redpath Museum, No. 121, labelled by Carpenter "Type" Sta. Barbara "Jewett (? Nicaragua)." Thus Carpenter had doubt about the shells coming from Santa Barbara. Arnold figured the U. S. National Museum types, and writer has photographs of those which are at McGill University. The illustrations and further discussion are reserved for that of the Carpenter types from the fauna south of California.

All Col. jewett's valves were dextral. The locality needs confirma- tion." [Carpenter, 1865h, p. 179] This species apparently does not belong in the West Coast fauna, but its proper place has not been established. Reference has not been made to it since Carpenter (1865h). At that time he doubted its proper locality. In the Redpath Museum there are three specimens, two right and one left valve marked type by Carpenter, with "Sta. Barbara Jewett." In addition Car- penter labelled the specimen "Also really Florida." Carpenter in the original description stated that all Col. Jewett's specimens were dextral. The left valve at McGill would then be eliminated from type material. Photos of the McGill right valves are included herein. They represent two different species. The shell of Figures 2 and 3 of Plate 2 bears a resemblance to the holotype of P. heliacus Dall (1925b, p. 119-120) as figured in Maxwell Smith (1937, pi. 9, figs. 5a, 5b) and the specimen of Figure 1 to the holotype of P. acanthodes Dall (m Smith, 1937, pi. 9, fig. 3). If either of the speci- mens under Carpenter's name proved conspecific with one of Dall's, Carpenter's name would have priority.

Tomlin used the name in his list (1928, p. 192), stating that he had taken the name from the British Museum collec- tions. The name, of course, has no validity.

Coll., vol. 2, art. 6, p. 2; 1864b, p. 535, 564, 616; Reprint, 1872, p. 21, 50, 102 This specific name and description which Carpenter inserted in literature in 1857 per- tained to specimens in the Gould collection labelled from California. That information was stated by Carpenter (1964b), in three respective notations, to be probably an erroneous Cumingian label. Carpenter (1864b, p. 535) suggested tliat the species was = M. subpurpur- cus Mus. Cum. Volsclla suhpnrpurea, a specimen in the Cuming Collection, was described by Dunker (1856, p. 362) from Senegal. The Mus. Cuming specimen was figured by Reeve (1857, Mo- diola, vol. X, pi. Y]\\. fig. 44). That specimen may be the one referred to by Carpenter in comparison. It is not the same as the species figured by Reeve (1857, pi. V, figs. 23, 24) as Modiola nitcns Carpenter, which name was applied to other specimens in the Museum Cum- ing. Reeve referred M. nifens Carpenter to the Mazatlan Catalogue which is not the place of description. The type of M. nitcns was from the Gould Collection. Its whereabouts has not yet been traced.

[Carpenter, 1864d, Dec, p. 425] The translation as given by Oldroyd is that of Carpenter's (1864d, Dec, p. 425) descrip- tion and not of Philippi as she indicated. There is a large amount of text omitted from the Latin description of Carpenter as published by Oldroyd. The complete original description of Carpenter, and the description of Philippi are therefore included herein. The specimens marked by Carpenter as type of Adula stylina Carpenter and preserved in the Redpath Museum are from San Diego collected by Hemphill. The lot consists of 16 double specimens. These are not from the two localities, Neah Bay, Washington, or Mon- terey, California, mentioned in the original description. Strictly, therefore, these specimens are not from the type locality. Hence in choosing a neotype that material from San Diego, California, cannot be used. The value of the material is that it was identified and labelled by Dr. Carpenter. Specimens from either Neah Bay or Monterey designated as type have not been found. The type locality of .1/. calijorniensis is California and not \'ancouver Island, as stated by Oldroyd.

Vokes (1956, p. 763) showed that Pandorella Conrad, 1863, preoccupies the well-known name of Kennerlia Carpenter, 1864. If the type species of Pandorella, P. arenosa Conrad, is accepted as consubgeneric with K. bilirata Conrad {K. bicarinata Carpenter) as indicated by Dall (1903), Johnson (1934), Gardner (1943), and Aguayo and Jaume (1948) then Kennerlia falls in synonymy with Pandorella. It is not true (Vokes, 1956, p. 763) that P. arenosa has been accepted by all subsequent authors as Kennerlia. The most recent pub- lications (Poirier, 1952; Abbott, 1954; Perry and Schwengel, 1955) do not have the species so classified. The character of the shell and hinge are similar to "K." bilirata (Conrad). (See pi. 6, figs. 1-3.) Pandora (Panderella) bilirata Conrad (Pi. 5, figs. 1-3) Pandora bilirata Conrad, 1855, Acad. Nat.

Therefore, it is difficult to determine just what the various authors meant unless they followed Keep. See Burch (1944, no. 39, p. 9) for notes on the name. The writer separates the references in Keep as the foun- dation of a valid specific name with Keep as the author. The test will be if there is a species of Crassatella in the California fauna which needs this berth. Keep and others must have had some specimen to whicli they were applying Carpenter's ms. name.

[Car- penter, 1864b, p. 642] The copy of the description of 1865 and translation has been given by Oldroyd. The fol- lowing original lines make the copy complete : "Hab. Sta. Barbara (Jcwctt) ; Monterey, and along the coast to S. Pedro (State Coll. no. 403) (Cooper). "The outside of this remarkable little species is typically carditoid ; the hinge is intermed- iate Ijetween Lazaria and Cypricardia." [Carpenter, 1865a, p. 178] Correct in Oldroyd (1924b) : "Lat., .23" to read "lat., .25" The types in the U. S. Nat. Museum consist of two double valves. The label states, "Type Monterey Cooper cp. 403." Such notes identify the specimens as the second locality listed in the original description (see above), and, therefore, limits the type locality to Monterey. The type locality of Santa Barbara as given by Oldroyd (copied by Burch, 1944) would pertain to the Jewett specimen, which is not consistent with the first part of Oldroyd's note in regard to the type. The California .State Collection, no. 403, refers to Cooper's specimen from Mon- terey, California. Since the first-mentioned specimens, Santa Barbara, are not to be found, and the Monterey types are, circumstances settle the matter of the election of a type locality. On the type label there is also marked "Type Neeah Bay J. G. Swann." This notation may refer to the specimen which Carpenter listed (1864b, p. 627). The label has been crossed off, indicating that it does not belong to the present specimen in the box. The number "Cp. 403" is also numbered 15551, 14783, 16233, stipulating U. S. Nat. Museum c(|uivalent num- bers. The Cp. 403 refers to Monterey, with no mention of Santa Barbara. PELECYPODA 83 The tj'pes have a well-impressed lunule and escutcheon. There are a ix)sterior and an an- terior lateral in the right valve and a central and posterior cardinal. Syntypcs.—U. S.

Four specimens at the Redpath Museum are labelled "type" in Carpenter's handwriting, and they are on Carpenter's original mount. There are also five specimens in the U. S. Na- tional Museum, no. 15472^1, also labelled "type" by Carpenter. Both suites have the label "Neeah Bay Swan." The writer retains all the types as syntypes and therefore leaves a lecto- type designation open in case the species is later thoroughly studied. It may then seem desir- 30 The writer considers the use of "n. subg. n.s." (Carpenter, 1864b, p. 627) as an original designation of type species (Opin. 7, Int. Rules Zool. Nomen.) rather than the type desig- nated by monotypy, since Carpenter did bring into his discussion a second species. Either method of type designation produces in this case the same type species for the genus. 3iStearns, (1891, p. 217) meant this number, but the figures were transposed in printing to 15742.

One living sp." [Carpenter, 1864b, p. 602. Puget Sound, Dr. Kennerley] "Cryptodon scrricatus, n.s. Small circular, flat; epidermis silken. ? Cat. Is. Cp. 120 fm." [Carpenter, 1864b, p. 643] There is some question as to the true type of this species. The first specimen which Car- penter noted (1864b, p. 602) was a specimen collected by Dr. Kennerley from Puget Sound. There is a question whether that shell is the one now labelled type in the U. S. National Museum (no. 5249) and figured by Dall (1901b). That specimen is labelled, "Dr. Kennerly [sic] Puget Sound." There are, however, in the Redpath Museum, two broken specimens la- belled "type. Dr. Kennerly [sic] Puget Sound." Carpenter did not give a complete description of this form, but with the few descriptive words by Carpenter (see above) the locality is stated to be "? Catalina Island." The Puget Sound specimens are not the primary types, but the questionable Catalina Is- land specimen noted by Carpenter has not been found. The first locality mentioned (1864b, p. 602) in connection with the specific name was Puget Sound. Therefore, it would seem logical to designate as tlie lectotype a specimen which had been labelled by Carpenter and collected from Puget Sound by the original discoverer. Dr. Kennerley. In the first mention of the species. Carpenter wrote, "one living sp." Hence, there would be a question as to which is the authentic original shell, one of those of the U. S. National Museum or of the Redpath Museum. Since the Redpath Museum specimens are broken, the writer designates the specimen figured by Dall (1901), U. S. National Museum, no. 5249, as the lectotype of the species. There are three specimens under no. 5249. Dall (1901b explanation of pi. XL, fig. 2) refers to the specimen as the type. ^-Opsis, Greek, feminine gender. Following Dall, tliis specific name has been incorrectly written in the masculine when written with Axinopsis. Probably Carpenter when he stated "epidermis silken" and named the species scrricatus [sic] meant the Latin word sericatus ("clothed in silken garments"). Hence, the original spelling of the specific name could be con- sidered a lapsus and the name be corrected to sericatus as Dall did in 1921. Tlie reasoning op- posed to this change is that Carpenter consistently spelled the specific name with two r's, and Car])enter was also a Latin student. PELECYPODA 85 Burch (1944, no. 39, p. 22) was justified in being puzzled over the diflferences, if any, be- tween A. scrricata and A. viridis. Dall distinguished A. viridis as "orbicular" (1901b, p. 791) and A. serricata as "ovate." However, Carpenter defined A. serricata as "circular," which would confine his species in the realm of what Dall later called A. viridis. The lectotype of A. serricata has about the same height as length, 4.5 mm. to 4 mm. Specimens in collections identified as both or either species have the oblique form. The two broken specimens in the Redpath Museum labelled "type" are wliite, smooth, greenish, and lighter in the center. The U. S. National Museum shell marked "type" is white and chalky. Either the McGill shells represent what Dall named A. viridis, or the color diflFerence is not specific. Lectotype.— \]. S. National Museum, no. 5249 (Dall, 1901b, pi. XL, fig. 2). Three speci- mens of same number, including the lectotype, are labelled "type" in the U. S. National Mu- seum ; two broken specimens labelled "type" are in the Redpath Museum.

Oldroyd, following Dall, did not give the reference nor a copy of the original description. Thus the impression is gained that Carpenter did not describe the species in detail. The holotype bears the label, "Puget Sound, Kennerley." The specimen is of both valves, but the hinge of the right valve has a small obstruction in tiie umlxjnal area which photo- graphed as a dark patch. The two cardinal tcctli in the left valve are conspicuously large for the size of the shell. Holotype. — U. S. National Museum, no. 5242 seVelain, Ch. : 1876, Comptes Rendus Acad. Sci.

Monterey, California, to San Hipolito Point, Lower California. (PI. 9, fig. 11-13). Prior to the ruling of International Zoological Com., Copenhagen, 1953 (see Hemming, 1953, p. 78, Art. 34) Pristes Carpenter was considered preoccupied by Pristis Linck, 1790 (for reference see Neave, 1939-1940). Dall's Serrideiis, a substitute name for Carpenter's substitute preoccupied name of Pristiphora Carpenter, has been used for Pristes oblongus Carpenter. Reinstating Pristes under the new ruling does not clear all technicalities as to the status of the name. See under Pristes oblongus for original indication of the genus. The type species is clearly stated. However, at the time of the presenting of the new generic name the type species P. oblongus was a nomen nudum. The writer does not regard the second statement (1864b, p. 643) adequate to describe the species (see Vokes, 1956, p. 768). In 1866a, the type species was described in detail as Pristiphora oblonga by Carpenter who gave the generic name as a substitute for Pristes. Because the problem does not involve generic names other than substitutes for the same name, and because the type species was indicated as the same in each case it seems best to maintain Pristes of either 1864 or 1866.

[Carpenter, 1864b, p. 643] Oldroyd included in her monograpli a copy of the description of 1866. The following line should be added to complete that copy : "Hah. San Diego; 1 worn valve among shell washings. Cooper." [Carpenter, 1866a, p. 210] A specimen in the U. S. National Museum (no. 15592) on the original Carpenter glass mount has a Carpenter label in white ink, "Type S. Pedro. Cooper." This does not coincide with the original notes of Carpenter which gave the locality as San Diego only. Carpenter listed the species from "D" (1864b, p. 643) which stood for the "region between San Diego and San Pedro." This interpretation may account for the interchange of places in the local- ity names. Another specimen marked "type S. Diego Hemphill" in Carpenter's writing is in the Redpath Museum (no. 15372). The locality is right for the type locality, but the collector is wrong. Hemphill collections were made after Cooper. The specimen is the same valve and same dimensions as the specimen in the U. S. National Museum. Neither specimen qualifies 90 MARINE MOT.LTTSCA DESCRTBED BY P. V. CARPENTER for the holotj'pe because part of the data given by Carpenter for each specimen is erroneous. The writer chooses the specimen U. S. National Museum, no. 15592 as the lectotype and the Redpath Museum specimen as a lectoparatype. The Redpath Museum specimen was found by Vicente Conde and sent to tlie writer during the editing of the manuscript. Kelsey (1902) apparently misunderstood a portion of Ball's notes to him, for it was Cooper who found the shell and not Carpenter. Carpenter was never on the Pacific Coast. Lccfotyt^e. — U. S.

Tomlin through ex- amination of the type in the British Museum, this species is a Japanese form. Tomlin iden- tified it as Macrocallista chishiniana Pilsbry (1905), in which case Pilsbry's name would fall in synonymy. Carpenter seemed certain of the absence of a lunule on the shell he des- cribed. Lack of such a character would exclude the species from Macrocallista and hence would eliminate the species from M. chishimana. However, in the identification of Macro- callista by Tomlin one would assume that the shell had a lunule. Genus Compsomyax Stewart, 1930 Compsomyax Stewart, 1930, Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, Spec.

[Carpenter, 1865e, p. 56] Dall (1892) gave a detailed description and figured an adult shell of this species from Alaska. Carpenter's type was a young shell. The holotype is a double shell in the U. S. Nat. Museum, with the label," ? dementia subdiapliana Cpr. Type. Puget Sound. Dr. Kennerly." Woodring (1938, p. 54) doubted that the above type was the holotype, because he con- sidered that the measurements of the specimen did not coincide with those given by Carpen- ter. However, the measurements correspond so closely^s that that factor does not seem valid. Woodring designated the type specimen as a lectotype. Since there is no other specimen which can qualify in the type catagory of this species, the U. S. National Museum, no. 4541 specimen remains the type regardless of what strict term is used. The type is not in the British Museum, as Stewart (1930, p. 225) presumed. The following data regarding type material were furnished by G. L. Wilkins of the Department of Zoology, British Museum : "I have searched for Clcmentia subdiaplnnia, Carpenter, but all we have is a specimen attached to a bright blue label (one of several such in the Cuming Coll.) with a printed state- ment 'named from the type specimen in theSmithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C.,' the name is written in M.S.S. with the locality 'Puget Sound.' " The above cannot be included in syntypic material. It is one of the many thousands of specimens sent from the Smithsonian in the 1860's and 1870's with that standard label to the molluscan departments of the institutions of the world. If, as in some cases, ro original ma- terial exists, such specimens will be useful from which to choose a "neotype." Stewart united the fossil Saxidomus gibbosus Gabb, 1869, with this species, and Grant and Gale reported the species back to the Pliocene and ix)ssibly Miocene. They did not believe in an identity with Pilar orcgonesis (Conrad) which had been suggested. The general pitaroid form of various species suggests identity, but often such apparent similarities are mislead- ^'' Carpenter's measurements, .72 long, and .58 lat., would equal 18.28 mm. long, (length) and 14.732 mm. lat. (height), which is practically the dimensions given by Woodring for the specimen, U. S. National Museum, no. 4541, "length, 18.5 mm.; height, 15 mm." Such a dif- ference in mm. can be accounted for in the measurements by different individuals. For Car- penter's terms of measurements see notes under explanatory remarks, this paper. PELECYPODA 95 ing. Woodring (1938, p. 54) discussed the possibility of an alliance of this species with "Venus" angustifrons Conrad (1849) from the Miocene of Oregon. In such a case Conrad's name would have priority over that of Carpenter which had been used for the Recent shells. Holofype. — U. S. National Museum, no. 4541 Distribution. — Recent.

[Reeve, 1863] Carpenter's complete description of this species was published in 1865 after Reeve de- scribed the form in 1863. As Carpenter explained, his description was written but delayed be- cause of the American war. Carpenter's authorship was unfortunately lost because of the vi- cissitudes which prevail in publication. Reeve's description and figure hold the specific name so that Carpenter's description is not included in this case. Carpenter considered Reeve the author of the species. Reeve did not record the locality of the species, but Carpenter furnished that information (1864b, p. 569, 602). The shell had been collected by Dr. Kennerley and, therefore, properly belonged in the Puget Sound — Vancouver Island district (Carpenter, 1864b, p. 569, 602, 641).

There seems to be a difference of opinion among workers as to the spe- cific rank of this form.

The specimens figured are from Neah Bay, collected by J. G. Swan, and are contained in the U. S. National Museum. The suite consists of four double valves and one single right valve. One double specimen is abnormally produced anteriorly and shortened with a thickened knobby posterior. A medium globose specimen is figured. A type of "Tapes tumida" Con. Nutt. ms. Carpenter has not been found. It is not in the British Museum (Natural History), where it might be. (G. L. Wilkins, May 22, 1950, per- sonal communication). From an ecological study of more than 3000 specimens of P. staminea in the region of Victoria, British Columbia, Fraser and Smith (1928, p. 266) found that "there was much difference in shape in different localities : some long and narrow, others short and broad ; some thin, with flat shells, others thick, with strongly convex shells."

Jewett's label." [Carpenter, 1864b, p. 531] The type of this species has not been recovered. Carpenter wrote (1856c) that the two original specimens were broken before they reached him in England. This suggests that the specimens became further damaged or lost and were not returned to America. They are not in the British Museum (Natural History) (G. L. Wilkins, personal communication). The original description, following Jewett's label, stipulated Panama as the type locality. But Carpenter later corrected that statement and confirmed his idea that the shells came from California. However, no definite California locality could be given. Oldroyd apparently was not aware of Carpenter's correction of Jewett's Panama label, for she quoted "Panama" as the type locality. This was repeated by Grant and Gale. The acceptance of Panama as the type locality probably accounts for the error of extend- ing the distribution to Panama (Grant and Gale, 1931, p. 328). Cooper (1867) corrected the locality from "Panama", to "Str. Fuca to San Diego". The types are not in the Boston Society of Natural History as published by Oldroyd and copied by Grant and Gale. Carpenter, in the description of Tapes laciniata (1865g, p. 136) parenthetically stated that this species had been described frt)ni a young individual. Types. — Not found Distribution. — Recent.

[Carpenter, 1865g, p. 135] PELECYPOnA 101 Willett (1931) changed the previous idea rendered by Dall (1900) that the species de- scribed by Carpenter was the young of P. denticulata Sowerby (1834). Willett figured specimens of both species. His figures justified a separation. The individuals figured by Willett (1931) are more triangular than the holotype. Burch in commenting on Willett's article included tracings of unidentified specimens in the Burch collection from San Martin Island, Mexico, which are closer in appearance to the shape of P. tcllimyalis than are those of Willett or Pilsbry and Lowe (1932). The holotype is in the U. S. National Museum on an original Carpenter glass mount with original label, consisting of: "Type Psephis tellimyalis, Cpr. California." Carpenter stated originally that the specimens came from the back of haliotids (186Sg, p. 135). He did not know the locality and suggested Lower California. The label in the type box states "San Diego Stearns Coll." That label is subsequent to the Carpenter glass mount, however. The writer does not believe that a locality other than California would be authentic for the original specimens. The measurements of the holotype (2.5 mm.; 2 mm.) correspond to the dimensions originally stated of .09 poll (2.27 mm.) and .07 poll (1.77 mm.), with a negligible difference. Holotype. — U. S.

(PI. 12, figs. 6-16) There was considerable juggling of names in connection with this genus, so that even though C. scintillaejormis was the specific name used in the first mention of Cooperella, the name was a nomen nudum. It had not at the time been described. It was also the specific name used in the description of Cooperella. Plowever, C. suhdiaphana was the species with the first description of Oedalia, the description which precedes that of Cooperella. It seems best to maintain the designation of Dall, using the name C. suhdiaphana for the species and for the type of the genus. Besides the type species, a West Coast Recent and Pleistocene species, the genus is repre- sented by one species from the upper Miocene (Yorktown) of Virginia and North Carolina (Dall, 1900, p. 1063) ; Gardner (1943, p. 119) and a species, C. atlantica Rehder (1943, p. 187) living at Peanut Island, Lake Worth, Florida.

[Carpenter, 1865e, p. 56] Details of the shell have been described by Dall (1900a; 1900c). Dall gave the new name to replace the preoccupied one of Carpenter. Carpenter's material therefore should remain 104 MARINE MOLLUSCA DESCRIBED BY 1'. T. CARPENTER the foundation for the original conception of the species. It does not seem wise to follow Dall in defining new types for the species when Carpenter's were in existence and available to Dall. (See discussion in the introduction to this paper on the practice of choosing new types for species renamed.) In the case of this species Dall did not choose a type for his new name from the type locality of Carpenter's species. Hence there is a double opportunity for misiden- tifying the original species. The remaining types of "A." obtusa Carpenter are those men- tioned second by Carpenter from San Pedro. Dall chose a Lower California shell for the holotype. Interpreting the renaming of "A." obtusa as strictly a nomcnclatural technicality, the writer retains Carpenter's types'^ for the species as renamed, and the writer disregards Dall's 1900 redesignation. In the case of a name merely replacing a preoccupied term, if the original types have been lost neotypes would properly be designated. In such case it would seem fitting that they should be from the original locality of the species. (See Copenhagen Decisions on Zool. Nomen., Aug. 1953, p. 28-32.) This species has coarser concentric striae than T. carpcnteri Dall (7". varicgata Car- penter). The double specimen (type no. 19429) has the valves intact. The valves were not separated for photographing, lest the hinges be broken. The photographs do not include tliat of the hinge. Syntypcs. — U. S.

National Museum consists of one double and one single valve with the label bearing both Catalina Island and Neah Bay, with no means of co-ordin- ating either specimen with its proper locality. Since the two localities arc w^idely separated, a decision based on choosing a lectotype from the syntypes and identifying the locality as near as possible with topotypes from either of the two localities would seem to be a means of solving a technical dilemma. The decision may have to be arbitrary, but it will be necessary to furnish a definite type locality. The lack of topotypes prevents such a selection in the present study. Syntypes.— U. S.

[Carpenter, 1864b, p. 639] The description of 1865 was republished by Oldroyd (1924, p. 177). To the portion re- printed should be added the remaining part of Carpenter's description as follows: "Hah. — In sinu Pugetiano raissime legit Kennerley. "A. 'M. lata, Gmel.' Desh. MS. in Mus. Brit, vix differt, specimine Groenlandico ; sed M. latae et calcarae in Mus. Cumingiano textura et dentibus baud convenit.

[Carpenter, 1865e, p. 56] Dall (1900, p. 308) regarded the type material mixed as to specific identity. The species has been doubted by authors since Dall. The specimens, two diff'erent valves, marked types in the U. S. National Museum, bear the label "Types. Dr. Kennerly. Puget Sound." This label coincides with Carpenter's original statement as to locality (1864b, p. 602, 639). If Dall doubted what the characters of the species were, it does not seem logical to main- tain, until the identity of the species is known, the extent of distribution as given by Dall. Arnold (1903, p. 161) furnished the information that specimens in the State Collection at the University of California labelled "ilf . expansa" were M. calcarea Gmelin. Burch (1943, p. 21) stated that the species is "unknown to any member of the Concho- logical Club of Southern California." Considering that the type has never been figured and only general information is available concerning the shell, it is not surprising that the form is not known. The hinge and unbonal area of the smaller specimen, a left valve, are broken. The right valve is figured herein. Type. — U. S.

(Puget Sound)" is given. Kennerley is stipulated as the collector of the original Puget Sound specimen mentioned by Carpenter. Since the present marked type has "J. G. Swan,"*^ it is apparent that the Swan specimen is not the individual specified in the original description. Inasmuch as the present "type" is from the general type locality and no other specimen labelled "type" has been preserved, the specimen in the U. S. National Museum would be appropriate to be designated as a neotype. Specimen figured.- — U. S. National Museum, no. 4507 Distribution. — Recent.

CARPENTER "Dififers from M. unibonclla, Lam., in its sccta-Wkc postligamcntal wing. This being rubbed off in the large dead valves, the shell has the aspect of a very distinct species." [Carpenter, 1866, p. 208] The holotype consists of a right valve collected in a dead but well-preserved condition. The specimen is labelled "Cotype San Pedro, Cooper." The shell and label may thus be identified as that of Carpenter's description of 1865. There is only the one specimen at present. Dall described the "variety" tenuirostris of this species (1900, p. 309, 324). On the back of the label of the type of M. indentata is written "var. tenuirostris Dall." Dall (1900, p. 324) stated, "For the rostrate form, pending the acquisition of more and fresh material, I would propose the varietal name of tenuirostris. It measures long. 55, alt. 2>2i, and diam. 16 mm." Those dimensions are the same (approximately of height and diameter) of the specimen no. 15229, which is the type of M. indentata, as indicated in the U. S. National Museum collec- tions. The other specimens which Carpenter mentioned are not now available so that the specimen which Dall thought differed varietally from the typical is the lone type of the spe- cies. Willett {in Burch, 1945, no. 43, p. 16) doubted the validity of Dall's subspecies. Specimens in some collections labelled this species are higher and more rounded anteriorly than the holotype. This may be the difference which Dall accounted for. Holotype.— \J. S. National Museum, no. 15229 Distribution. — Recent. San Pedro.

Complete reference is not at present available or verified. rELF.CYPOt>A 111 There is in the Redpath Museum a Carpenter glass mount with 7 specimens (2 pairs) of Semclc incongrua. Besides the specific name the mount bears a Carpenter label of "Catalina Is. 40-60 fm. Cooper." This material would be appropriate from which to choose a lectotype for the species. The interior of the shell of the above specimens is pinkish, iiarticularly at the hinge. The surface of the shell has coarse concentric lines which are coarser on the right valve. The concentric ribs are wider apart on the posterior end. They divide at the umbonal line and extend as two ribs over the remainder of the surface. Radiating microscopic lines are de- veloped between the concentric ribs. There is a suggestion of brownish or i)inkish rays over the exterior. One of the double specimens (broken) measures 17 mm. in length. Another specimen measures 18 mm. in length and 13 mm. in height. A subspecies of this species from the Pleistocene of Deadman Island, San Pedro Harlxjr, was described by Arnold. ^^ In April, 1953, William K. Emerson of the Museum of Paleontology at the University of California sent to the writer 10 (2 doubles) specimens (no. 2389) of S. inconyrua Carpenter from Santa Catalina Island which were marked as Cooper Collection. There are no other original marks on the label or specimen which identify any of the specimens as type or syntypes. One of the specimens is not Scmcle but a Tellina. The remaining 9 fall into the same category as that of the McGill specimens. In the University of California suite is 1 double which has alx)ut the measurements of Carpenter's original dimensions, 0.58 long (14.74 mm.) X .40 lat. (10.16 mm.). The writer includes an illustration of that shell (pi. 14, figs. 7-10). The cardinal hinge area and interior umbonal region are rose-tinted as originally described. There are three larger specimens, two right valves 24 mm. and 23 mm. length each, and a left valve, 20 mm. length. The whole interior of the largest specimen is rosy and rosy pink. The others are white or pinkish. Measurements, specimen figured. — Length, 14.25 + mm. ; height, 10 + mm. ; right valve.

Psammocola vespertimlis ("E.M. [Ency. Method.] pi. 231, f. 3, abc" [no "c" on plate]) was given under section "A". Blainville (1825, p. 567) repeated the original descrip- tion with specific reference but in addition to the same reference (E.M. [Ency. Method.] pi. 231, fig. 3 abc) he added another figure (pi. LXXVII, fig. 4). The two figures do not represent the same species. Bucquoy, Dautzenberg, and Dollfus (1895, p. 485) made the type designation for the genus, "P. vespertinalis Blainville (= vespertina = dcpressa"). This type designation was repeated by Sacco (1901, p. 10). The Sacco designation has been used by Makiyama (1934, p. 154) and Habe (1952, p. 203). However, that of Bucquoy, Dautzenberg, and Dollfus (1895) has priority. The type designation of P. vespertina is not valid for the species P. vespertinalis Blain- ville, as typified by the only original reference given, and is not the same as P. vespertina (Gmelin). The second reference (1825) as illustrated does represent P. vespertina (Gmelin) (Chemnitz, 1784, pi. 7, figs. 59, 60), but that species was an after thought of Blainville and hence does not enter into the original description. Reeve (1856, pi. I) pointed out that Blainville's figure (1824, pi. 231 under caption "Capsa") represented a species like Venus deflorata Linn, (see Capsa in Reeve, 1856, pi. I). That observation is true. The species figured (Bruguiere, 1797) 3, a b, pi. 231, Ency. Meth. is sculptured with coarse radiating ribs and is not the same species as Blainville figured later (1825, pi. LXXVII, fig. 4). Psammocola Blainville, 1824, must stand on the original figure, and the name of Blain- ville, 1824, preoccupies Blainville, 1825. Hence the type designations of Bucquoy, Dautzenberg, and Dollfus (1895) and Sacco (1901) are not valid. Bucquoy, Dautzenberg, and Dollfus in the synonymy of P. vespertina (Gmelin) [= P. depressa (Pennant)] (1895, p. 485) did not include the P. vespertinalis Blainville, 1824, but gave "P. vespertinalis" Blainville, 1825 [in part], pi. LXXVII, fig. 4. This is indirect evidence that they did not regard the first refer- ence as equivalent to P. vespertina (Gmelin).

The first mention which Carpenter made to "Psammobia rubroradiata" (as Sanquinolaria) was as of Conrad from the Nuttall Collection from California. The vicissitudes of the publi- cation of the Nuttall Collection of molluscan species is explained in detail by Carpenter PELECYPODA 113 (1857b, p. 192-202). By 1864 he realized that Conrad had not used Nuttall's name in descrip- tion. Also in 1864 Carpenter began to include Puget Sound- Vancouver Island specimens in the distribution of the species, for he then identified the species from Dr. Kennerley's and J. G. Swan's material. If the meagre lines of description of the species (1864b, p. 638) by Carpenter should constitute description the type locality could be either in Washington or California. When Carpenter fully described the species (1865e) the material that from his descrip- tion would qualify as type material was that of Dr. Kennerley from the Puget Sound region (see title of paper). The above analysis is pertinent to establish a lectotype for the name Carpenter used for this species and hence verify its identity with that of the species previously named by Conrad. Early material of the Carpenter species so far discovered are two specimens in the British Museum (Natural History), Mollusca Section (G. L. Wilkins, June 16, and July 10, 1950, personal commvmication) labelled Psammohia ruhroradiata Nuttall from California, in the Cuming Collection with an ancient notation "Neiah Bay" on the back of the tablet bearing the shells. Mr. Wilkins w-rote, "I have further examined the two shells labelled ruhroradiata and have come to the con- clusion that there are two species on the tablet, the largest of which has pinkish radiations on the outside of the shell, inside pure white and came from the Cuming coll. "There seems little doubt therefore that the shell was sent to Cuming by Nuttall or Jay with the manuscript label which is now attached to the back of the tablet, with the locality 'Neiah Bay.' " The Neah Bay label might identify one of the specimens from the Swan collection, for that is the material Carpenter referred to in 1864. Swan and the InSian children were the chief collectors of material which Carpenter worked on from Neah Bay, Washington. There could be a mixture of labels and specimens, and material from both areas could have been grouped together. G. L. Wilkins wrote (March 2, 1951 and July 10, 1951 personal communication) that cer- tain specimens of the Nuttall Collection were available and included "Sangumolaria ruhroradi- ata Conrad." This shell was one of a lot purchased by the British Museum in 1861 from Nuttall's executors. The specimen, of which a photograph is included, has on the front of the tablet which bears the specimen, "Sanquinolaria ruhroradiata Conr. Coll. Nuttall." On the back is the following, "Sanquinolaria ruhroradiata Conr. I doubt whether this is the rubror of Conr. V his figure. It is at any rate = Psammohia lilacina Cpr. MSS. U. Cal. P.P.C."

It was never figured, and Weymouth (1920) and Finch (1953) seem to be the only ones who have presented a figure of the species. The type is not in the British Museum (Natural History) (G. L. Wilkins, May 22, 1950, per- sonal communication) as stated by Oldroyd. Tlirough the kindness of William K. Emerson of the Museum of Paleontology at the University of California, a specimen of Solen rosaceus loc. "no. 42" from their early col- lections was examined and photographed. This specimen was a fossil embedded in fine hardened sand probably lower Pleistocene. The original description described the species as "glossy, rosy" and "epidermide tenui" ; therefore, the types would have to have been Re- cent shells. Because the specimen which was photographed by Emerson could not be a type, the illustration is not included herein. Types. — Not found Distribution. — Recent.

[Carpenter, 1865a, p. 203] The holotype of this species consists of one double specimen in the Redpath Aluseum at McGill University. The specimen is mounted on an original Carpenter glass mount with a Carpenter label of "(unique type) Vancouver Dr. Forbes." There is no doubt of the authenticity of the holotype, but there is uncertainty as to the proper locality of the shell. Carpenter brought out the fact of the unique distribution of the species but did not ques- tion that the shell came from Vancouver. The species has not been reported from the North- west since the original citation, and Dall doubted the correctness of the original label. Now that the shell is illustrated perhaps collectors may note its proper locale.

Since the illustration of the species properly belongs in that unit, a figure of the species has not been sought for this report. The type material consists of numerous specimens in the British Museum. Many specimens of the first duplicate set of this species are in the Mazatlan Collection in Albany, New York (Palmer, 1951, p. 13). Dall (1921) reported the range of the species from Oregon to Mazatlan. Oldroyd (1924) stated that the distribution extended to Vancouver Island, but Keen (1937 and Burch (1945) agreed with Dall (1921) as to the northern range.

Carpenter (1863, p. 31) corrected Jewett's locality label of "Santa Barbara," and suggested that the specimens probably came from "Panama or Acapulco." The name may be delected from the list of specific names, and the record of an occurrence of such a Corbula from the upper California waters may be eliminated.

The name, how- ever, was a manuscript label of Carpenter which was used by Dall in determination of speci- mens (Berry, 1907; Gripp, 1909). Carpenter did not mention the species in his waitings. There is a specimen in the Redpath Museum with a label, "Cadulus nitentior Cpr. MS. Cata- lina Isl. 30 fm." The label also has a printed form, "From the Smithsonian Institution, Wash- ington, D. C." This specimen is a Cadulus. The name has valid status from Arnold (1903), and authorship should be attributed to Arnold only. The holotype would be the specimen figured by Arnold (1903, pi. 8, fig. 15) from the Pleistocene, "Lower San Pedro series" [San Pedro sand], Deadman Island, Cali- fornia. One specimen, U. S. National Museum (no. 23729) (Harald Rehder, U. S. National Museum, Aug. 2, 1950, personal communication) is labelled "Cadulus nitentior Carpenter MS. from 30 fathoms off Catalina Island, collected by Cooper," in Carpenter's handwriting. The entry in the U. S. National Museum catalogue was in 1871. This is probably the speci- men with which Dall compared, and by which he identified material for correspondents. This specimen has no status in a type catagory, for Arnold in validating the specific name used a Pleistocene shell.

They used Carpenter's manuscript name which Carpenter had attached to 120 MARINE MOLLTTSCA nFSCRTBEn BY P. P. CARPENTER material from San Pedro, collected by Cooper and deposited in the Smithsonian (U. S. Na- tional Museum, no. 19462). As a courtesy to Carpenter, Pilsbry and Sharp credited the specific name to Carpenter. However, the name with Carpenter as author is a nomcn nudum. The description and figures were first published by Pilsbry and Sharp who used the San Diego specimen in the Academy of Sciences of Philadelphia as the holotype. The form is referred to here, not because of a Carpenter specific name or type but merely to present all pertinent data in connection with Carpenter names and clarify the status of the same.

There seems to be no doubt that the West Coast is its proper habitat. The few remarks by Carpenter accompanying the name (1866c, p. 335) make a dubious valid description. Pilsbry regarded the name as a nomcn nudum, which seems a legitimate de- duction. Carpenter, therefore, is not the valid author of the name. No subsequent author has described the subspecies or species. The description published by Oldroyd as of "cribaria" was that for A. patina mut. fenestrafa "Nutt." If Test regarded the subspecies as biologically sound it would be appropriate for Test (ms. thesis, ms. Univ. California) to publish her description of the form designating a holo- type and type locality. It would then date from such a description and author.

Those descriptions are not repeated here. The holotype is figured for the first time herein. The apex of the holotype is worn, but the radiating ribs, of which there are about 36, are strong. There are no secondary ribs, but the primaries, as well as the interspaces, are irregular in size. Dall placed the variety named by Carpenter tenuisculpta (1866) as the same as funiculata. Marshall (in Hanna and Smith, 1931, p. 23), after comparing the types of both, agreed with Dall's consolidation. Test n946) did not indicate A. funiculata as a distinct species. Burch (1946, no. 57, p. 6, 7) gave it as a separate form. The type of this species was catalogued in the Smithsonian Institution (U. S. National Museum) by Carpenter as "Scurria funiculata type."

The specimens of Figures 45 and 46 he stated in the text (p. 14) to be from San Diego. The first and only definite reference by Carpenter to the form was to a San Diego shell (Carpenter, 1864, p. 540). Although the types are not extant, the type locality is San Diego.

If Dall's (1871) brief comparison, using Carpenter's name, with A. mitra be regarded as adequate to validate the name of a form of subspecific worth, Dall must be credited as the author and not Carpenter. Dall's comments (1871, p. 242) were as follows : "The striated variety (tenuisculpta, Cpr.) [of ./. niiira] appears very distinct from the smooth form, but every gradation may be found in a very large scries. The unique type of Scurria f funiculata, Cpr., now before me, differs from the smallest specimen of tenuisculpta, only in having the riblets even more prominent, close, and rounded, and being thinner and smaller. . . ."

V. CARPENTER "According to Darwin, this might be regarded as a cross between the northern forms A. pclta and A. patina, about to change into the Gulf species, A. mesoleuca. The dark variety resembles A. cantharus, but the very delicate crowded striae will distinguish it when not abraded." [Carpenter, 1864a, p. 474] Pilsbry presented a detailed description and illustration of the type which is in the U. S. National Museum. Burch (1946) has analyzed clearly and correctly the confusion in the names of strigatella and strigillata. The use of strigillata by Carpenter (1864b) is easily dis- pensed with because it is a typographical error. Carpenter gave a description (1866c) using a manuscript name of Nuttall. He defined it as a variety of A. patina and differentiated it from A. strigatella of the Lower Californian fauna. The form A. patina strigillata "Nuttall," Carpenter is ambiguous as to type and type lo- cality. Carpenter (1866c) intimated that it was from California or Vancouver. It is in part the A. persona strigillata of Dall (1921), but until the type locality and type are defined a precise distribution is not authentic. The type has not been found. The first use of A. strigillata was a typographical error, hence a nomcn nudum, and there- fore does not preoccupy the name as stated by Burch (homonym). Burch's suggestion that A. persona (=: A. persona strigillata "Nuttall" Carpenter) is the northern form and A. persona strigatella the southern seems feasible. Holotype.—U. S.

The specimen il- lustrated is not available. Therefore, the specimen labeled "type" in the Redpath Museum is logically eligible as lectotype. Neither author regarded the varietal name as necessary. There are in the Redpath Museum 14 specimens with an original label, "N^acella casta Cpr. (var. = triangularis) type Monterey." There is a note with the specimen, "I think this series of specimens prove that they all belong to one species. I have two specimens (not worn) that are perfectly white.

One of the above shells is figured herein. Some of the shells are white, others are marked like the illustrated shell. All the specimens have a conspicuous brown spot just below the apex. Some have brown radiating spots over the surface. One individual has 5 spots on the posterior end. The external margins are all white with the marks above. A few specimens have a pinkish interior.

The name has been credited to both authors. The only remark Carpenter made concerning the form (1866c) is, "In its [pelta] early adolescence, irregular decorticated sliells are the A. monticola of Nutt. MS." That is not an adequate description. Dall (1921, p. 169) referred to the above reference of Carpenter, and 128 MARIMi MOLLUSCA DESCRIBED BY P. P. CARPENTER hence his name is no more valid tlian tlic- initial remarks. There is also a confusion in the spelling which makes further confusion in the use of the name. No types exist for the name. If it is to acquire proper status it must be described by some author subsequent to those already credited. It is assumed by workers to be synonymous with A. pelta.

There is a specimen at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, no. 38192, bearing an original label, "Margarites ? var. tenuisculpfa Smithsonian Neeah Bay." The specimen is pasted on a small piece of cardboard, which in turn is pasted on an A.N.S.P. label. This specimen in lieu of a more autlieiitic original Carpenter specimen might be selected as a neotype. In early work Dall and Pilsbry considered this species synonymous with AT. lirulata Carpenter, but in 1921 Dall listed it as separate from tliat form.

Dall (1919, p. 365; 1921, p. 179) in renaming M. inflata Carpenter, 1864, specified that his new name M. inflatulus applied to the above reference and that the new name M. rhodia Dall (1921) applied to M. inflata Carpenter (1865e, p. 62). However, the separation of the species on the above references is not so simple as Dall indicated. Dall stipulated as type of M. inflatulus the specimens labelled "Puget Sound, collected by Dr. C. B. Kennerley" (Dall, 1919, p. 365). Since the description (1865e, p. 62) of M. inflata Carpenter and all Carpen- ter's references included material from Puget Sound (Kennerley), Vancouver (Lyall), and Neah Bay (Swan), Dall's selection of the Kennerley specimen from Puget Sound as type of M. inflatulus automatically makes the description of 1865e, as well as 1864b, in part refer- ence to M. inflatula. Therefore the writer has, modified Dall's references to M. inflata Car- penter (in part) = M. inflatulus Dall and M. inflata Carpenter (in part) = M. rhodia Dall, in keeping with type material as indicated by Dall, rather than the specific date and page reference which he gave. For remainder of discussion of M. inflata Carpenter, see M. rhodia Dall in this paper. Specimens in U. S. National Museum, no. 4494, bears the label "type of L. inflata Car- penter pars = inflatula Dall. Type of both." This is the specimen indicated by Dall (1919, p. 365). Holotype. — U. S.

[Description of var. stibclevata, obsoleta and conica, wiiich see in this paper] "The shells above described constitute what might be called a Darwinian group of specific forms. With the exception of the typical shells dredged by Dr. Kennerley, they are all in very bad condition. The Pugetian specimens are flattened, with open umbilicus, as might be expected from quiet water. Two specimens, however, form an exact transition to the Xeeah Bay shells, of which a fair number (var. a) were sent by Mr. Swan, though worn and generally decorticated. They are more elevated, with fainter sculpture ; and pass, by insensible gradations, into AI. tenusculpta, the two principal spiral lines becoming evanescent, and a few others intercalating. In this state (var. |3) the species can only be separated by the operculum, which is pale and thin, and destitute of the strongly expressed rib of the 'Vahlii' group. A third form (var. y) would certainly claim specific rank, but for the intermediate series of a and (3. The diagnostic characters for the whole series are the smooth operculum, the eight narrow riblets round the base, with angular umbilicus and the sharp, narrow, prin- cipal riblets above, witli wide interspaces, smooth except from the lines of growth, which are principally visible in the epidermis. There may be three (so-called) species in the group, viz.: lirulata, subelevata and conica." [Carpenter, 1865e, p. 61] There are three specimens in the U. S. National Museum labelled "type Puget Sd. Dr. Kennerley." This label coincides with Carpenter's description. The middle-sized specimen of the three is figured herein. Syntypcs. — U. S. National Museum, no. 4191 Distribution.— Recent.

Dall's (1921) drawing and the photograph of the type, herein included do not represent the same shell, or the drawing does not depict wholly the characters of the specimen.

In many respects it is like M. undulata. but differs in the greater swelling of the whorls meeting at a nearly rec- tangular suture, in the far more delicate sculpture without waves the keeling of the umbilicus and the bend in the pillar which causes a slight spiral hollow inside the umbilical rib." [Car- penter, 1865e, p. 62] In the U. S. National Museum specimen no. 5332 = 15585 is labelled "M. inflata Cpr. Puget Sd."

On the underside of the label is written, "One of the typical specimens Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phila. Apr. 1865 p. 62." Carpenter's description (1865) stipulated specimens from Puget Sound collected by Ken- ncrley and Neah Bay collected by Swan. Dall (1919) definitely selected the Kennerley speci- men from Puget Sound as the type of M. inflatulus Dall (M. inflata Carpenter in part). The above notes reveal that the Swan specimen from Neah Bay Dall designated as the type of M. rJiodiupil!a Gld. = caUiostoma A. Ad.), in its mucli deeper and salmon-tinted hue; its finer sculpture, absence of decussation, and want of distant lirae round the umbilicus. From the Norwegian specimens of .1/. undulata it is known by the absence of sutural waves, and by the finer basal riblets, of which the interstices are minutely sculptured across. The operculum differs from both, in its great thinness and smoothness. Additional specimens may better display its true relations."* [Carpenter, 1864e.

Port Etches, Alaska, to San Diego, California (PI. 17, figs. 20, 21) Dall originally described Lirularia as a section of the subgenus Pupillaria. In 1921 he raised the group to subgeneric rank. This classification has been followed by authors but ap- parently not with conviction that it is correct (Grant and Gale, 1931, p. 839; Burch, 1946, no. 58, p. 8). In analyzing such segregation as M. rhodia Dall in Pupillaria and M. inflatulus Dall in Lirularia, the writer does not see justification for the importance of subgeneric rank of Lirularia. The writer therefore returns to its use as a section and is aware that sections have no nomenclatorial status in the International Rules of Zoological Nomenclature, except that the International Commission agreed to recommend that such groups be treated as having subgeneric status.

Adams suggested the above expressive name for this very remarkable and unique shell."

Credit to Adams alone when it is not in a publication by that author may be confusing, even though the original reference is given in Dall (1921) and Oldroyd (1924). A similar case is that of Assiniinca grayana Fleming (Leach in Fleming. 1828), type spe- cies of Assiniinca Fleming (Leach in Fleming), which see. Leach sent Fleming a specimen so labelled which Fleming acknowledged in his description of the new species, new genus. Thus Leach would be the author of Assiniinca.

"The name Solariella given to a crag fossil (tertiary) species by Searles Wood, which he afterwards reunited to Margarita, is here used as a subgenus, in the author's sense, for Margaritae with large crenated umbilicus. This is one of the many instances in which the North Pacific fauna carries out the ideas of the English crag. Unfortunately, the same ap- pears in Add. Gen. I, 431, for a subgenus of Monilea, with which these shells have only a limited affinity : and, accordingly, the true Sohriellae have been reconstituted as part of Minolia. A. Ad. That gentleman, however, fully accords with the present arrangement. The Sohriellae are known from Trochiscus, and from all forms of Solariadae, by the normal (not inverted ( nuclear whirls f.^/r] ,• and from the Solarids, by the nacreous texture. "Dr. Cooper's very lovely species of a very lovely group may possibly prove to be a va- riety of the Japanese 'Minolia aspecta A. Ad.' ms. in Mus. Cuming; but, until more speci- mens from each district have been compared, it is more prudent to keep them separate. It seems to have exhau.sted the powers of sculpture on its graceful habitation. Under the micro- scope, the sharp transverse lirulae, mounting over the keels, dividing the interspaces, and even ascending the wide umbilicus, are eminently beautiful. Even the operculum is sculptured with delicate waved radiating lines. It has the aspect of an extremely thin Torinia, with a funnel- shaped umbilicus. This is not only bounded by a granular keel, but has three other distant spiral lines crossing the lirulae. The radiating sculpture is more distant on the upper whirls, where first two, then three keels appear, fenestrated by the lirulae, which afterwards become much closer, and are sometimes worn away behind the labrum." [Carpenter, 1864e, July-Dec, p. 156] Pilsbry (1889) translated Carpenter's description (1866) and republished a portion of the English. Oldroyd republished Pilsbry's translation. The drawing published by Dall (1921) is apparently a figure of the lectotypc, but it is not exact in details. The longitudinal ribs are stronger than in the Dall drawing as may be seen by comparing the photograph of the holo- type herein included. There is one specimen in the U. S. National Museum labelled "Cotype Cataline Id. Cooper." Since there would, therefore, have been more than one type at some- time, the existing type is a lectotype. Lectotypc. — U. S.

From an examination of the holotype this species is like a superaccelerated C. splettdens in the number of ribs and retention of beaded ribs. The nucleus consists of one or one and a half smooth bulbous whorls followed by coarsely ribbed whorls ; after about one whorl there are three coarse spirals, and the spiral ribs are more strongly beaded on the shoulder of the whorl; 6 spirals on the penultimate whorl and 11 on the body whorl with a basal carina; 10 plain spiral ribs on the base.

The whole surface of the shell is covered with fine spiral ribs with equal interspaces. Between some of the spiral ribs there are microscopic spiral striae ; no umbilicus ; round en- tire aperture with the margin thick and flaring below the umbilical area. Both specimens measure 5.5 mm. height and 2 + mm. greatest diameter. Although this species was briefly described in 1864, Carpenter gave full notes in 1866. The type locality is definitely stated, and the types are available. Carpenter's name does not seem to be a homonym of F. pupoidcs Adams, 1860, so it may be retained. Syntypes. — U. S.

Since T. invaUatiim was originally described as the "variety," T. supravaUatum would have priority in the preservation of names if the two forms were united.

[Carpenter, 1864b, Dec, p. 158] Strong discussed and illustrated this species well. L. fenestrata is similar in shell character to the type species of the genus, L. canccllata (Gray) (Pilsbry, 1934, pi. 13, figs. 7, 7a. 7b). The lectotype is a specimen in the U. S. National Museum.

CARPENTER The lectotype (the second specimen mentioned by Carpenter has apparently been lost) has six large spiral ribs on the body whorl. The apical whorls are flat. The spiral ribs are crossed by equally large longitudinal ribs. The crossing of the two sets of ribs forms a large rectangular sculptural pattern. The umbilicus is large, deep, and the margin has a coarse rib. The shell was a dead specimen. Its occupant, a Iiermit crab, is still intact. Lectotype. — U. S.

[Carpenter, 1864b, p. 652] The following lines should be added to Oldroyd's copy (1927) of Carpenter's description (1864, p. 159): "Long. 0.12, long. spir. 0.06, lat. 0.10, div. 95°. "Hab.

[Carpenter, 1864b, p. 159] On the lectotype there are seven large spiral ribs on the body whorl including the base where the last spiral rib continues into the umbilicus. Microscopic longitudinal .striae cross the spiral ribs on the spire. The illustrations in Strong of A. acuticostata bristolae are more like those of the type of A. acuticostata than are the illustrations which Strong gave for typical A. acuticostata. The absence of radiating sculpture, which Carpenter noted, and the character upon which Dall founded the subspecies radiata Dall (1918a, p. 8; Baker, 1927, p. 72; Strong, 1934, p. 438, pi. 29, figs. 13-15) (= bristolae Baker) are probably not so important as those authors believed. The radiating lines are fine and are seen on the type under the binoculars. Their absence in some cases may be due to decortication. The lectotype of A. acuticostata in the U. S. National Museum has a label, "type fig'd." The writer has not found an illustration of the specimen previous to the ones herein. The figure Tryon (1888, pi. 36, fig. 1) might be the shell, but the writer doubts that identity. The explanation of the figure by Tryon (1888, pi. Z6, fig. 1) described the individual as "speci- men," and the execution of the drawing of the sculpture of the shell is not true enough for identification. Since there were originally several sj-ntypes (4:4) it seems more appropriate to refer to the remaining specimen as a lectotype than a holotype. Lectotype. — U. S.

A groove in the somewhat callous columella, continued slightly round the labrum, seems intended for the broad-margined operculum of the genus." [Carpenter, 1864e, p. 177] The holotype, in the U. S.

XXVI, no. 8, p. 200 Pilsbry renamed the Pacific Coast shells which Carpenter had identified as the Linnaean species from the Mediterranean. Tiie original description dates from Pilsbry. Unfortunately Pilsbry did not specify the locality of the specimens figured ; the type has not been separated. The type is not at the Academy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia, as stated by Oldroyd and followed by Grant and Gale. The specimens from which a lectotype could properly be chosen is the material in the U. S. National Museum identified by Carpenter and studied by Pilsbry. There are many lots including hundreds of shells in the U. S. National Museum collections made by individuals since Carpenter's and Pilsbry's time. Those lots would not qualify for lectotype material. There are five specimens, U. S. National Museum no. 15536, possibly a type lot, labelled "Neeah Bay, W. T. J. G. Swan." The specimens are large and of the meas- urements provided by Pilsbry (8 mm. X 8.9 mm.). No. 14813b is a dark form, measuring 5mm. X 5 mm., which could be the specimen mentioned by Pilsbry. There is also one speci- men, U. S. National Museum, no. 6186, labelled "Monterey, Cooper, Taylor." These speci- mens definitely meet the required labels of Carpenter's description. "i By choosing a lectotype from lot no. 15536, the problem of the type locality would also be settled. Until a lectotype is chosen there is no basis for the statement that the type locality is "California." Carpenter's material came from Monterey, California, and Neah Bay, Washington. Pilsbry's remarks stipulated only the range of the species from "Cape St. Lucas, L. California to Vancouver Id.," without selecting a type locality. Technically this is not a Carpenter specific name, and the writer prefers not to select a lectotype at this time but leave the matter open to one who may study the species.

The specimen is not the same nor is it related to that form of the reference in Dall (1909, p. 238) to "Wood, Index Test., Suppl., 1828, pi. 6, fig. 44."

CARPENTER Because of the variability of the Lacunae as manifested in a small way by the examples of the Carpenter type material and the complexity of the names involved in the L. divaricata- solidula — carinata — porrecta and variations — compacta problem, the writer has analyzed each Carpenter name and data separately. The reasonable suggestion that L. porrecta and varia- tions may fall under L. carinata Gould led the writer to use the comprehensive heading of L. carinata for the group. Because there seemed to be considerable confusion in the Gould dates and references of L. carinata, the above list has been included.

"The form L. exaequata is intermediate between the very different /-. porrecta and L. effusa. The Lacunae vary so much (fide Forbes and Hanley in loco) that, even with a large multitude of specimens, it is not easy to state what constitutes a species." [Carpenter, 1864d, p. 428 1 The type material consists of 10 specimens of different ages. One of the specimens selected to figure herein is intermediate in age and best shows the white bands. The other specimens were more worn. Dall figured a larger specimen. Since he considered or designated the specimen as type in 1921, that specimen will be designated the lectotype. The label, which is not original, is, "Type Neeah Bay Wash. J. G. .Swan." The shells are thin and umbilicatc. The drawing in Dall (1921) seems to exaggerate the carination of the body whorl and umbilical channel more than a photograph does. One doubts the propriety of maintaining the subspecies as named by Carpenter in a group such as Lacuna. They are enumerated separately in this paper so that the type data are readily accessible. Their headings are italicized to differentiate from the rank of recognized species. Types. — Lectotype and syntypes, U. S. National Museum, no. 15549b Distribution. — Recent.

The young shells resemble small Litorinae." [Carpenter, 1864, p. 428] The type material consists of nine specimens labelled "Type Neeah Bay Swan." The body whorl of the shells has a sharp basal margin. The umbilicus is long ; it has a sharp margin above and flares below. The surface is smooth with faint microscopic striae in some places. The largest specimen is figured herein. In comparing the illustrations of the various types of the Carpenter named forms the dimensions of each should be borne in mind. The photograph of L. compacta is enlarged to greater magnification than the others, which are larger in actual measurements. L. compacta has the whorls carinated stronger than any of the other Carpenter Lacunae shells, as well as the illustrations of L. carinata Gould or L. solidula Loven. /.. compacta has been included under L. divaricata (Fabricius) ^^ by Tryon, probably by Dall and Oldroyd, as synonymous with L. solidula carinata Gould by Strong, and L. divaricata carinata Gould by Grant and Gale. Carpenter regarded L. solidula Loven and L. carinata as synonymous as did Dall (1925, p. 18, PI. 34, fig. 2, L. solidula Loven). Grant and Gale maintained each as a distinct subspecies. Woodring, Bramlette, and Kew (1948) believed L. porrecta and L. carinata equal. L. divaricatus (Fabricius) cannot be used. According to English writers it is equivalent to L. vincta Montagu.

Although Carpenter described the umbilicus as wide, that char- acter varies in extent among the syntypes. !Most have a large umbilicus with a sharp margin, but on one specimen the umbilicus is closed. The umbilicus is not consistent with age, for its size varies on individuals of similar age or size. The spire is elevated and twisted. The young specimens have a shorter and blunter spire.

Both genera may have the unusual shelly reinforcement of the aperture in the parietal and columellar area, but that feature is not constant in either. Iredale (1915, p. 448, 449) maintained the distinctness of the two genera, and Powell (1927, p. 545) aptly pointed out that "the resemblance of the Austral shells to Amphithalamus is merely superficial, prejudiced by the presence of a depression separating aperture from body-whorl. In nuclear characters Scrobs is quite unlike Amphithalamus, this latter genus having protoconch sculptured with 160 MARINE MOLLUSCA DESCRIBKD BY P. P.

This species was described by Carpenter (1857, p. 357) from Mazatlan, Mexico. Bartsch (1915, pl. 31, fig. 2, 5) figured a Carpenter drawing of a syntype. The species has not been reported, other than the Cooper reference above, from the California region, living or fossil. Cooper's record, therefore, seems to be a misidentification.

It is visible in the photograph and appears like a misplaced umbilicus. Burch (1945 no. 55, p. 24) suggested that the listing of Diala marmorca by Baker (1902, p. 41) is a misidentification, as he believed D. acuta is the southern form, although in the range of B. marmorea, he extended the boundary to Lower California. A comparison of the illustrations herein of the two above-mentioned species reveals the difference in the angulation of the body whorl of the forms. Holotype. — U. S.

They are not labelled "type" in the catalogue, (U. S. National Museum), and they do not correspond to Bartsch's statement (1920, p. 170) as to type. Bartsch (1920) explained in the text concerning the species that the specimen figured is one of 147 of no. 56446, and that the shells came from San Diego. In the explanation of the figure in the same article (and in the column on p. 170), the figure is labelled "type." Since apparently a holotype selected by Carpenter is not available, the specimen figured by Bartsch could be designated as the neotype. This specimen is not a lectotype in the strict sense, for material from which it would be selected is not in the original collection. Specimens figured. — U. S.

Because there seems to be doubt in the minds of workers who have not seen Gray (1821, p. 239) as to the status of Sync era (supposed to be proposed there as a genus) the following is a copy of the only mention the writer can find in that work in regard to Syncera. "Nerita Syncera Hepatica, N.

That specimen labelled lectotype is not the one figured as "type" by Bartsch (1920). The plate explanation defined the specimen as "type," and in the text the specimen stated to be described and figured was U. S. X'ational Museum no. 271483 and came from San Diego, California. This specimen could be selected as a neo- type whereas U. S. National Museum no. 126645 could not. The type locality is San Diego, as stipulated by Carpenter, and therefore a Vancouver shell (no. 126645) would not be eligible. 7* Fleming stated that Leach sent him the shell with name [MS.] Assiminea (/rayana.

Wyatt Durham furnished the following notes regarding specimens of T. cooperi in the Museum of Paleontology, University of California : "With regard to the types of Turritella cooperi Carpenter, we have several specimens in the old California State collections under number 548. Carpenter originally described the species as number 564, but in Cooper's catalogue of the collection 564 is listed as Goniobasis silicuh and number 548 is tiie oidy Turritella cooperi listed by him. None of the specimens is designated as type, but two of them have been jjasted on a card at one time. Of these two specimens, one is a fossil and the other a])pears to be a beach worn Recent specimen. Both fit the general description given by Carjienter in the Proc. Calif. Acad. Sci. description, except that neither one has tlie color markings noted by him. However, his description notes that Cooper had a large number of specimens, and 1 am wondering if tlie description may have been a composite. "With respect to the measurements given by Carpenter the fossil specimen tliat had been pasted on the card fits them approximately. The apex of the specimen has had a slight amount broken off in recent years, and e.xcejjt ft)r this, would appear t(j have just about the right alti- tude and right height of spire and has ai)proximately the right diameter." ■0HanIey (1855, p. 348); Bucquoy, Dautzenberg, and Dollfus, (1886, p. 225); Tryon, (1886, p. 197).

[Carpenter, 1864b, p. 655] Oldroyd (1927) furnished part of Carpenter's description (1866), and Merriam (1941) supplied a complete copy. To Oldroyd's copy the following lines should be added : "Hab. Sta. Barbara, Pleistocene formation (Jewett). San Diego, on beach (Cassidy). "This species comes nearest to T. sanguinea Rve., from the Gulf, but differs in the faint- ness of the sculpture. Mr. Cassidy's specimens may be washed fossils, or very poor recent shells." [Carpenter, 1866b, p. 276] In 1921 the author discovered in the Jewett Collection of the Paleontological Laboratory at Cornell University two of the assumed lost types of the article in which T. jcivetti was de- scribed. Unfortunately the type of T. jetvetfi was not found, nor has it turned up at Cor- nell or at any other institution. The T. jezi'etfi of Arnold and others from the Pleistocene of the San Pedro area was separated by Esther Richards Applin from the true T. jewetti because it did not conform with the original remarks. Her manuscript name, T. pedroensis, was published with descrip- tion and illustration by Merriam (1941. p. 121). The problem of locating topotypes which have been identified by Carpenter from which a neotype might be selected has not been satisfactorily solved. Durham furnished the following information in regard to specimens at the University of California : "There are two specimens in the old California State Collection under number 549 la- beled as 'TurriteUa jcwcttii Cpr., Santa Barbara; Jewett Coll. fossil?).' These specimens still have the color markings and from the label the possibility appears to me that they might be a part of the Jewett collection, although the entire label is a printed label made up by Cooper with the notation 'Coll. Cooper' on it." The writer has not investigated these specimens. Since the West Coast TurriteUa mono- graphs were prepared from material in California, it seems the specimens might have been considered. However, it would be well that the specimens be examined to determine whether they are T. coopcri or not. Woodring (in Woodring, Bramlette, and Kew, p. 69) described a specimen in the U. S. National Aluseum which probably had been examined by Carpenter. His final opinion was that the specimen was doubtless T. cooperi. The writer examined the specimen and agrees with Woodring that it is what has been identified as T. cooperi. In the Redpath Museum there is a specimen (no. 3141) labelled by Carpenter, "T. jewettii, jun fossil Sta. Barbara." The specimen, however, is not a young shell as stated. It measures 170 MARINE MOLLUSCA DESCRIBED BY P. P. CARPENTER 43 mm. length and 15 mm., greatest diameter. Because of the discrepancy the writer has not included the illustration of the shell. The shell is of the T. cooperi stock. It has a subquadrate aperture as described by Carpenter for both T. cooperi and T. jezvetti. A specimen of Turritella (no. 15834) in the Crooke Collection, American Museum of Na- tural History, is labelled "T. jezvetti Carp. California." Although the Crooke Collection was acquired probably earlier than 1894 (John C. Armstrong, July 17, 1951, personal communi- cation) there is no evidence that Carpenter identified this shell, and the locality is not ade- quate. An examination of the shell shows it to be the apical wliorls of T. cooperi Carpenter. The specimen is a fossil. Two suites of specimens of two each arc in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cam- bridge, Massachusetts. One set (no. 29399) has a printed label. "Turritella /ctcc//// Cpr. Santa Barbara; (Jewctt Coll., fossill?) 549 California Geol. Survey Jewctt." These two specimens are fossil and most certainly from a lot of shells similar to those described by Durham, which are at present at the University of California. The specimens are presumably tliose sent out by Cooper, as Cooper was employed by the California Geological Survey. This suite, as w-ell as the follow- ing second set, is at present labelled "cotypes," but since the two sets probably do not repre- sent original Jewett specimens identified by Carpenter they cannot qualify as "cotypes." The second set (no. 142835) consists of two Recent shells which have the original label. "Turritella Jewettii Cpr. Sta. Barbara, Cal. Cooper." One shell of the first suite is too badly worn for accurate identification. The remaining three specimens are what is being identified as T. cooperi and equal specifically the other spe- cimens enumerated under this discussion. All except the Redpath Museum specimen are apical whorls and are equivalent to the specimen figured by Merriam (pi. 33, fig. 1). If T. cooperi and T. jezvetti prove to be conspecific, T. cooperi has priority. Both names were first briefly described by Carpenter (1864b, p. 655). T. cooperi is listed first on that page. Carpenter's first descriptions (1864) of both consist of only one line, which is not ade- quate to validate the name of the species as of that date. T. cooperi was described in February (1866a), and T. jezvetti in April (1866b). Merriam failed to include the 1866a reference in the synonymy of T. cooperi. That is the description which enumerates characters sufficiently for identification. Holotype. — Not found Distribution. — Pleistocene.

One broken speci- men shows faint columellar threads. I find we have about a dozen specimens of what is probably this species. Ours, however, are not solitary. They all show the faint columellar thread and the same manner of coiling- which is characteristic of the genus. I wish I could find an operculum, as that would clinch the matter. Our specimens had been identified, pre- sumably by Dr. Dall. as P. complicatus. They are not the P. complicatus we have from southern California, which has very heavy internal laminae, but that is another problem. This specimen of yours confirms a suspicion that has been growing on me that the name Bivonia is unnecessary anyway and need not be replaced. I am beginning to feel certain that we shall have to redefine Pctaloconclms to include species with obsolete laminae, for I have found specimens with Pctaloconchns opcrcula and nuclear whorls which had no laminae, but I shall have to do much more comparative work before I am positive."

Wilkins (British Museum) kindly furnished the following (Personal communica- tion) : "We do not appear to have the specimen figured by Reeve, which is larger than that selected by Carpenter as the type on pp. 205-6, P.Z.S. 1856 but there is one that approximates to it (17 mm. in length). The label fits very well and runs C. albonodosa Carp. San Diego Dr. Webb and is from the Cuming Collection. If this does not prove to be the type it is probably a reliable paratype and may have been sent to Cuming by Gould." The authorities of the British Museum have cooperatively furnished a photograph of the specimen mentioned. The writer selects the specimen as the lecotype of this species.

[Carpenter, 1865g. p. 143] Oldroyd (1927) republished Carpenter's description (1865) of this species. There are many typographical errors in her copy ; the following corrections should be inserted : Line 2, insert question before "sinistrali" ; line 3, delete the comma after "normalibus" and insert "7"; line 4, correct 15 to 16; line 6. read "angustis" for "sagustis" ; line 8, read "labio parvo" for "libio parvulo" ; line 9, read .26 for 26, .18 for 16, .09 for 9; add div. 25°." The following lines should be added to make the copy complete : "Hah. S. Pedro, Cooper. — S. Diego, Cassidy. "Dans cette espece et dans quelques autres tres voisines, les B. asperum et B. armillatum. par cxemple, le nucleus, est tres — different de celui des Bittium typiques. II est probable qu'elles n'appartiennent pas au mcme genre." [Carpenter, 1865g, p. 143] Bartsch discussed this species and illustrated the holotype. That specimen according to the label was collected by Cooper at San Diego. This does not coincide with Carpenter's state- ment that the San Diego specimens were collected by Cassidy and that Cooper's specimen came from San Pedro. Therefore, one cannot tell whether the locality or the collector on the label is incorrect or whether the confusion was made by Carpenter in his description.

"Mr. Gabb informs me that his Turbonilla aspcra is a Bittium. Unfortunately the tj'pe is not accessible ; and as the diagnosis would fit several closely allied species, it cannot be said with precision to which it rightfully applies. As this is the commonest of the group, it is pre- sumed that it is the 'Turbonilla' intended. Should the t3'pc, however, be recovered, and prove distinct, tiiis shell should take the name of B. rugatum, under which I wrote the diagnosis, and which was unfortunately printed in the Brit. Assoc.

[Carpenter, 1865h, p. 181] Nothing in Carpenter's writings of this species indicates that the type was a fossil. Carpenter's statements concerning the habitat refer to the species as of the Recent. This is particularly indicated (1864, p. 655) in the column of localities of the species. After B. aspcnmi and B. armillatum, fs is attached to the Santa Barbara symbol. This symbol is not attached to the localities of B. fastigiatum. Bartsch (1911) presented a composite drawing of two specimens in the U. S. National Museum collected by Col. Jewett from Santa Barbara and quoted by Bartsch as from the "Lower Pleistocene." Dall, Oldroyd, Grant and Gale, and Burch followed Bartsch and repeated the Pleistocene age as original. Bartsch is the authority for such an age based on his examination of U. S. National ^Museum specimens, which are not types. If the type were found and determined to be fossil such a type locality would be valid. Photographs of two specimens which were ideally figured by Bartsch are included herein. They are labelled "Sta. Barbara Jewett". They are not marked types. The type of this species has not been found. Oldroyd's statement about the type should be corrected as to place and number. Specimens figured. — U. S.

[Carpenter, 1866a, p. 222] If Carpenter's remarks (1864) are accepted as the original description, specimen no. 32 in the Cumings Collection, British Museum, is the holotype of this species. On inquiry in regard to that specimen, the authorities of the Mollusca Section, (G. L. Wilkins, Feb. 21, 1950, personal communication) British Museum (Natural History), furnished the following information : "A search of the larger number of si)ecimens in the B. M. collection has revealed a speci- men labelled 'crebicosta' Cpr. California Mus. Cuming. This label is considered to be a 'lapsus-calumni' for crchricostata Coo])er, but unfortunately the specimen has no number, only a portion of the original label having been preserved, and, although several counts have been made, only 12 ribs appear to be present. "In spite of the above rather disapiwinting details this shell seems to have the most likely claim to originality." Through the courtesy of the British Museum (Natural History), a photograph of the above shell (B. AT. 1950.3.29.1) is included herein. The British Aluscum specimen corresponds in size, character of ribbing, shape, and number of varices ([11]-12) with those of the labelled "type" in the U. S. National Museum. The ai)ex, however, is preserved in the British Museum shell. GASTROPOnA 185 There are two specimens, U. S. National Museum, no. 14831, labelled "Monterey Cooper type." The apex of each specimen is missing. One of the specimens is figured herein. It has 11 varices, whereas the other individual has 12 varices. Both shells have the horny operculum in place. Both specimens measure : length 9 mm. ; greatest diameter 4.5 mm. These measure- ments approximate that of the British Museum shell : length 8.7 mm. ± ; greatest diameter 3.6 mm. ±. In regard to the type depository, Oldroyd merely stated the no. [393] of the original Cali- fornia State Collection as given by Carpenter (1866). The early state numbers, if still re- tained, help to verify the authenticity of a type but do not indicate where the specimen might be at present or its modern number. Most of the original California State types are in the U. S. National Museum. Strong (1930) examined a lot in the University of California collection labelled "Epitonium crebricostatum Cpr., Cooper collection" and determined them as specimens of E. tinctum, except one single shell with a larger number of varices, which he thought might be the young of another species. A summary of the characters of available "type" sources yield only specimens which are at variance with Carpenter's descriptions. They are as follows. — Type locality. — The type locality is consistently mentioned as Monterey, with San Diego or San Pedro (Carpenter, 1864b, p. 613, 660; 1866, p .222, Monterey, San Pedro; Cooper, 1867, Monterey to San Diego; 1870, Monterey to San Diego; 1888, Monterey to San Diego). Yet Smith and Gordon (1948), following Strong (1930), did not include the species from Monterey. Smith i_in Burch, 1945), however, does admit that he has "one or two shells from Monterey that might possibly fit the requirements. . . ." The British Museum shell is labelled "California" only. Varices. — Carpenter's description, 15 varices. U. S. National Museum, no. 14831, 11 and 12 varices; British Museum, 12 varices. Measurements.— Cdir\)Q\\ieT (long. 0.7; lat. .18) = length 17.71 mm.; diameter 4.55 mm. U. S. National Museum no. 14831, each: length 9. mm.; diameter 4.5 mm.; British Museum shell : length 8.7 ± mm. ; diameter 2.6 ± mm. To choose a lectotype from the above specimens would mean that the Carpenter descrip- tions would be disregarded, and an analysis of the species would then be redrawn on the basis of the lectotype. In that case the species would probably be regarded as synonymous with E. tinctum or a form of the same. If one takes Carpenter's notes at face value, the species is unknown and the riddle of its description unsolved. If the species is valid biologically, its presence is probably lurking under identifications of E. indianorum or E. tinctum. In that case specific separation would involve a selection of a neotype. The choice would best be made by one who is familiar with large suites of West Coast Epitoniums. Until the name of this form has a firmer foundation than at present the writer sees no authority for type locality or range. Cooper, Arnold, and Oldroyd (1925) catalogued the species from the Pleistocene of California. The earlier authors apparently believed they knew what the species was and differentiated it from E. indianorum and E. tinctum. Type. — Uncertain Specimens figured. — U. S.

Authors must agree with Strong that Dall (1917) did not give an adequate description of E. jallaciosum. Dall plainly stipulated why he was giving a new name and to what in general, but he did not give a description, figure, or type. Therefore, the name is a nomcn )iudum in 1917. The writer agrees with Strong that Dall's "well-known form from California which has 11 to 14 varices" would not help in differentiating the species. Certain critical points of the history of E. jallaciosum are repeated. The specific name is included herein, because its identification is associated with two of Carpenter's species, E. hindsii and E. tinctum. Certainly in Dall's first mention of E. jallaciosum (1917) the name is a nomen nudum. But Dall (1921) specified a description and illustration of the species when he gave the reference to Keep (1911, \). 183, Fig. 174). This reference satisfies the rules of nomenclature (Art. 25a and Opinion no. 1 and validates the specific name from Dall (1921, not 1917). This may change the original meaning of Dall (1917), but since that usuage may have applied to Carpenter's museum label it has no status under tlic International Zoological Code (Opinion no. 1). Woodring's (1931) designation of the museum specimen which Dall probably had in mind would not validate the species because it would lack a description .and figure. In this case Woodring designated a specimen which had been, subsequent to Dall's (1917) invalid mention of E. jallaciosum, included under and figured as a paratype of a new species E. cooperi by Strong (1930, p. 194, PI. 20, fig. 7). But Dall had already (1921) validated his species by a different selection. The specimen of Keep (1911, Fig. 174) is the holotype of E. jallaciosmn Dall (1921). Keep's description is included herein: "In Figure 174 is shown the beautiful shell of Epitonium hindsii, Cpr., (Scala hindsii), the white Wentletrap. "It is pure white in color, very delicate, and is generally less than an inch in length. The whorls are very distinct, finely rounded, and each one is crossed by about twelve thin, sharp ridges. These shells are so highly prized that they have been worn as the drops of ear-rings. . . . The white Wentle trap is found on the southern shores of California." Strong Ix^lieved that E. jallaciosum Dall (1921, not 1917) is equivalent to E. tinctum Carpenter (1864, 1865). From a comparison of the illustration of the lecotype of E. tinctum with Keep (1911, Fig. 174) this view would seem to be justified.

The apices of all the specimens are gone. All specimens are white and slightly worn. The varices vary respectively, 15 in the largest specimen, 10 varices on the next largest, 14 varices on the next, and 11 on the smallest individual. Therefore, the number of varices might vary from 10 to 15. if all the specimens are retained in the species. The maximum number is the same as in Carpenter.

P. CARPENTER The holotype, as may be seen from the pliolograph, is badly worn with the body whorl broken. The break was occasioned by Carpenter as mentioned by him. The specimen has fine punctations like "E. spongiosum" , but it has fairly strong longitudinal ribs. Inside the aperture the surface is flecked with bluish purple. This condition was noted by Carpenter. A comparison made of the holotypes of O. spongiosa and O. retiporosa convinces one that the two forms are synonymous. This is in agreement with the collecting data and opinion of workers (Willett; Strong; Burch) that only one species exists. O. bullata is similar to O. spongiosa. The writer arranged the data on each name separately, so that the facts could be evaluated more readily. In the original references the name and description of both species are on the same page. O. spongiosa is mentioned first in all cases, so that name has priority over O. retiporosa. In the original reference, it is also mentioned before O. bullata Carpenter. O. bullata was given a more detailed description by Carpenter (1865), before that of the other two names (1866). Types. — U. S.

[Carpenter, 1865h, p. 180] The type material consists of four specimens in the U. S. National Museum labelled, "San Diego Monterey Sta. Barbara." Largest specimen is figured herein. Apparently the four specimens were concentrated under the no. 14929 without differentiat- ing the locality of each specimen. The back of the present label bears numbers 14817b, 15293, 15652, 15715. It is, therefore, impossible to stipulate the exact locality of a lectotype. Oldroyd mentioned Santa Barbara, probably because it is mentioned first in the description (1865). Woodring, Bramlette, and Kew (1946) stated that the four specimens above came from Mon- terey. However, from the condition of the syntypes a selection of type locality would have to be arbitrary.

S. National Museum, is labelled, "Type Monterey Harbor." It is the specimen which Bormann (1946) figured and of which an illustration is included herein. Tlie writer does not believe that the facts warrant saying (as Bormann stated, Burch, 1947, no. 71, p. 7), that the type was figured in Dall (1921) and repeated in Oldroyd (1927). The explanation of that figure reads, "typical," and the drawing, which may be a composite sketch, does not depict the exact features of the "type." Carpenter unconsciously bequeathed an error in the matter of the type locality. In his first brief description (1864b). Carpenter included shells from Monterey, Farallones, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. However, in the complete description (1865). the California locali- ties are not mentioned. To be able to validate tlie above-labelled type (no. 4636, U. S. National Museum), Car- penter's earlier description (1864) must be accepted as adequate. Those brief lines are hardly complete. If the specific description dates from 1865 it is not consistent to have a holotype or lectotype from a locality which is not mentioned in that description. J. Wyatt Durham informed the writer that there are in the Department of Paleontology, University of California, two specimens (not the same species), no. 47-402, labelled TrifoH- aim intcrfossa, which apparently had been segregated because they might be types. The writer doubts their status as types because of the absence of authentic type label. The lack of local- ity label would eliminate those specimens from availability as "lectotype." The specimen, U. S. National Museum no. 4636, is the only "type" so far found. In spite of the inconsistency of its locale it would seem best to assume that the selection was made by Carpenter ; therefore, the specimen is a holotype. Holotype. — U. S.

Apparently Dall forgot about the description when he made tlie statement (1919) that a description had not been published by Carpenter. Ball's notes were no more complete than Carpenter's, so that Ball's name does not apply as author of the subspecies. Tlie Icctotype is figured herein for the first time. Bormann figured a specimen (1946) from White's Point, Los Angeles County, Cali- fornia, which had been compared with the holotype by Rehder (in Bormann, 1946). There are seven specimens (paratypes) in the original group in the U. S. National Mu- seum, no. lS528bi'>o other than the one labelled "type." The label includes "Neeah Bay." The type is evidently a lectotype selected by Ball. All the specimens, lectotype and paratypes, have tlie apical whorls worn. The suite in- cludes young and mature individuals. Some are more slender than the "type," but all have the coarse longitudinal lines of growth and deep stiuarish pits. The labrum is not thickened on the immature forms. The measurements which Ball gave (1919) are not those of the lectotyi>e but of a more elongate shell (see size of lectotype, explanation of pi. 23, figs. 2, 3A) Lectotype. — U. S.

The first sentence of the notes which Oldroyd (1927, p. 18) credited to Carpenter are not those of Carpenter. They are a portion of Tryon's (1880, p. 131) remarks regarding the form. Carpenter's line does not seem adequate to validate the subspecific name. Carpenter's type has not been found. The first to use the name with a figure, a type, and definite locality was Williamson. Therefore, if the form deserves subspecific rank, to preserve the name one must date it from Williamson. The identification of the form in her report was made by Dall. Lectotype. — U. S.

This species was founded on two specimens, one from tlie Recent and one from the Pleistocene. Present workers seem to be in doubt whether the species occurs in the living fauna, because it has been assumed that the type was the Pleistocene shell. However, if the label of the existing type is correct, the holotype (depending on whether it was originally selected by Carpenter) came from Catalina Island and is a Recent shell. Bormann (1946), in the explanation of the figure of the holotype, defined the shell from the "Pleistocene of Santa Barbara," but that is a confusion. Apparently the Pleistocene shell is not available. If the holotype or lectotype is established on the Recent species and that is the locality which Carpenter mentioned first, the query by workers as to the presence of the species in the Recent fauna is settled. The problem would then be to identify living shells which may be at present classified under some otiier name. If the Pleistocene shells, heretofore called T. squaiiiulifera, can be separated from the holotype of T. squamilifcra as a distinct species or subspecies, the Pleistocene form would deserve a new name. Pleistocene (San Pedro sand) specimens which had been figured as "Ocinebra barbarensis Gabb" by Arnold have been assigned to this species by Willett. Woodring, Bramlette, and Kew agree with Willett in his identification. Bormann (1946) figured the "holotype" of this species.

[Carpenter, 1866a, p. 224] Dall discussed this species in detail (1891) and figured the type (a young shell) and an adult individual from San Pedro. Dall later (1902) repeated his earlier statements. J. Wyatt Durham furnished the following notes regarding the "types" (syntypes) in the University of California, Museum of Paleontology : "Trophon triangulatus Carpenter^Two specimens in our [Univ.

Recent. Catalina Island, Calif. Carpenter: 1865, pr. CAS, vol. 3, p. 224. "This specimen still has the operculum with it. Otlierwise the two are in equally good condition. Perhaps 12572 should be designated as the Lectotype." In referring to the specimen at the University of California as the type which he figured (1892), Dall described the specimen as containing the operculum. The writer therefore iden- tifies no. 12572, University California Museum Paleontology as that shell and selects that specimen as the lectotype of the species. A specimen in the U. S. National Museum, no. 11839, is labelled, "Catalina Id. Cooper Type fig'd." The shell is 10 mm. length and 6 mm. greatest diameter ; hence it is a young shell about the size of the lectotype. From the original description (1866) there could be syntypes, all from Catalina Island and of the same size. If the specimen in the U. S. National Museum was indicated as type in Dall's day, it is odd that Dall did not describe that speci- men and figure it instead of going so far afield. As the labels stand it can be regarded as a syntype and a lectotype can be chosen from the three syntypes, which is what the writer has done above. Oldroyd figured both University California syntypes. The U. S. National Museum "syntype" apparently has not been figured, regardless of the label. This species does not seem to be typical Trophonopsis [Boreotrophon]. Dimensions.— l.cugih 11.5 mm.; diameter 6.?> mm. (lectotype, Dall). GASTROPODA 209 Types. — Lectotype, Univ.

Oldroyd (1929, p. 99) renamed shells CoralUophila Oldroydi from Catalina Island which had gone under Car- penter's name. Burch enumerated the factors in regard to the identification of Oldroyd's and Hinds' (original) species. He believed that they are distinct and extended the range of L. costata hirvdsii from Point Conception to Panama. The type of the species is a shell from the "Voyage of the Sulphur" and not one of Carpenter's. The name is included here only to explain Carpenter names.

National Museum with a label, "San Diego Cooper" in writing. A printed label of "San Pedro" is included. Thus one can- not segregate the specimens by exact locality. The chief characteristic of sculpture is the presence of the regular microscopic spiral striations over the whole surface. Such striations are on the young shells as well as on adults. The immature shells are less slender, and the spire is not so elevated as on the older specimens. A short and stubby young individual has plications on the interior of the labrum similar to those on the adult. The apex of the shells is minute and sharp. There is a band just below the suture; some have brown spots in their coloration. Dimensions. — Length 10 mm. ; greatest diameter 4 mm. (largest) ; length 3.5 mm. ; greatest diameter 2 mm.

Jewett's single specimen is in very fine condition, and is confirmed by a fragment obtained by Mr. Gabb, the paleontologist of the California State Survey. Although re- sembling Purpura aperfa and congeners in the irregular rugose folds of the labium, and Siphonalia in the strongly bent canal, Mr. H. Adams considers that its affinities are closest with the Cautharus group of Pisania. That genus is extremely abundant in the tropical fauna, but does not now live in California. It is the only distinctly tropical shell in the whole collection ; and its presence, along with so many boreal species and types, appears some- what anomalous, like the appearance of Valuta and Cassidaria in the Crag fauna. It is dis- tinguished from the extreme forms of P. insignis by having the spiral lirae pretty equally distributed over the early whorls, by the close internal ribbing of the labrum, by the absence of the stout posterior parietal tooth, and bv the great development of the columellar folds."

[Carpenter, 1864b, p. 664] A copy of Carpenter's (1865) description has been published by Oldroyd (1927). The following typographical corrections should be made in her copy : Line 3: insert space between "costulis" and "radiantibus" ; line 4: read "lineis" for "lincis" ; add "div. 2>i°" to the dimensions : Add: "Hab. — In sinu Pugetiano, specimen unicum legit Kennerley. "Aspectu Belam, forma Perronam, nisi labro baud sinuato, commemorat : characteribus plurimis subgeneri Siphoni convenit." [Carpenter, 1865e, p. 64] Carpenter's first description (1864) of a smooth shell has confused authors such as Arnold (1903) who apparently was not aware of Carpenter's later (1865) notes in regard to the species. Carpenter at that time described the radiating costae, which, however, are fine. Tryon also did not take cognizance of the 1865 description. He figured a copy of Kobelt's illustration, which Tryon stated Dall had sent Kobelt. That drawing and the, later one which Dall (1902) used to illustrate the species does not depicit the shell properly. Dall's figure resembles E. kelseyi (Dall) figured by Bartsch (1945). Dall did not state that the specimen figured (1902, no. 4815, U. S. National Museum) was the type, as was interpreted by Oldroyd and followed by Grant and Gale. The U. S. National Museum number of the type is 4515. The confusion in regard to the holotype of this species was rectified by Bentson, who included an illustration of the holotype in her paper (1940). That specimen is badly worn. Bartsch (1945) included a fine illustration of the shell, operculum, head, and verge of the species and discussed the animal in detail.

IV, p. 36, pi. 351, fig. 428 Vancouver's Island "Narrow, dull, thin : has been erroneously called amazora, tergina, petiolita, and rufi- fasciata." [Carpenter, 1864b, p. 661] Carpenter in the preliminary notes (1864b) to the above listed the species from Santa Barbara (p. 537), Monterey (p. 541), and in the final list (p. 661) from Santa Barbara, Oregon, California, Monterey, Puget Sound, Vancouver, and region between San Diego and San Pedro. One may, therefore, deduce that Carpenter was referring to a ubiquitous coastal Olivella north of the Gulf of California. Carpenter compared his 0. baetica (p. 590) with Conrad's O. pedroana, and his procedure was followed by Gabb (1869). Carpenter did not later amplify the above brief and unidentifiable remarks and thereby indicate, as was his custom, particular specimens from a certain locality. This species was never adequately described by Carpenter. It lacked an illustration, a type, and a type locality. Either of the first two items would compensate for the useless 218 MARINE MOLLUSCA DESCRTBED BY P. P. CARPENTER descriptive remarks, but both are lacking. A review of tlie literature will reveal that the problem as to the identity of O. bactica as of Carpenter has not been satisfactorily settled. With lack of pertinent original data the problem will not be settled from a Carpenter source. G. L. Wilkins (Oct. 17, 1950, personal communication) kindly reported on the material of the species in the British Museum (Natural History) as follows: "We have two sets, one of 3 from Vancouver and one of 4 from San Pedro but none of them compare with Sowerby's figure. All Mus. Cuming." There are in the Gould Collection, New York State Museum, Gould Collection A6350, labelled type^"*^, 8 specimens of O. bactica Carpenter They are all worn individuals. Three retain faint wavy colored lines. W"ith the specimens is a printed Smithsonian Institution label of "Olivella baetica Cpr. = O. i>etioIita, Gld. (non Duel.) Hab. Vancouver — CaHfornia." This label is the standard printed form which the Smithsonian Institution used at the time that Carpenter was working for the Smithsonian in making up duplicate collections for dis- tribution. Such labels are familiar to anyone who has examined collections in various museums which received specimens from the Smithsonian in the late 1860's and 1870's. There is then nothing to indicate that these 8 shells were types. Gould's personal number (A6350) on them may mean that they were specimens which Gould identified as pctiolita, which Carpenter stated (1864b, p. 537) was not the O. petiolifa of Duclos (1844, p. 5). They do not bear an exact locality. Therefore, so far they do not add any scientific information to the dilemma. The specimens are apparently those identified as O. baetica Carpenter and figured by Dall, Oldroyd and others. Two are figured herein (pi. 24, figs. 6-8). Marrat (1871, p. 35, pi. 350, figs. 409, 410; Tryon, 1883, pi. 17, figs. 28, 29) was the first to use Carpenter's name with a description, figures, and a type locality. Marrat's (Sowerby) figures were copied by Tryon (1883). Copies of Marrat's figures and description are included herein. The writer, therefore, credits O. baetica to Marrat. This does not ap- parently upset the usual interpretation of O. baetica, and by giving the name a legitimate parent, a definite type locality, description, and figures are thereby gained. Tryon's sugges- tion that Marrat's O. nota (1871, pi. 351, fig. 428) from \'ancouver Island might be referred to O. bactica looks reasonable. It seems to be the same sort of shell that Dall figured for O. baetica. "182.

C. suhlriyona has the aperture shortened posteriorly, so that the species does not seem to belong with C. jcwetti and C. rcgularls. Tentatively the species is left in the genus Cystiscus. C. snbtrigona has denticulations on the outer lip, as in G. pyri- formis, but it represents an extreme from G. pyrijormis in the posterior character of the aperture.

Sta. Barbara, rarissime {Col. Jezvett). Mus. Gould. "Closely resembling the small white species from the Panama, W. Indian and N. African provinces ; but distinguished from all in shape and plications." [Carpenter, 1856d, p. 207] In the Redpath Museum, there are 10 specimens of this species in the Carpenter Collec- tion mounted on glass and labelled by Carpenter as "Gibberula Jewettii Cpr. type Sta. Barbara Jewett." These are the only specimens found so far which have been definitely labelled by Carpenter with the data corresponding with that of the original description. At the New York State Museum in the Gould Collection, A4268, there is a shell which William Marshall, when arranging the collection, felt might be the type of this species. The label with the specimen reads "Sta. Barbara No. 30 very rare Marginella new" with nota- tion "appears like Cooper's handwriting." Carpenter records in his original description that a specimen was in the Gould Collection. The New York State specimen is not listed in the catalogue of Gould "types" (27th Ann. Rept. State IMus. Nat. Hist., 1874, p. 47), so that the shell was not regarded as a "type" when it was turned over to the New York State Aluseum. The writer includes a photograph of the specimen. It might be the one referred to. If syn- types had not been found, it would be available for neotype designation. Oldroyd (1927) stated incorrectly that the type is in the British Museum, and Tomlin, followed by Grant and Gale, stated erroneously that the type is in the U. S. National Museum. The illustration in Reeve (copied by Tryon) does not depict C. jczvetti. The figure by Williamson (also Baily, 1935, fig. 212) represents a typical form. Syntypcs. — Redpath ^^luseum.

Those at McGill were labelled by Carpenter "type" S. Diego Monterey," and there are six specimens. The specimens at the U. S. National Museum is labelled "type Cpr. [Cp.] 398 Sta. Barbara Jewctt." This specimen represents the first mentioned of the seven syntypes avail- able. The locality of this shell is definite, whereas that of the AicGill specimens is not. The writer therefore selects the U. S. National Museum specimen, no. 55391 (pi. 24, figs. 11, 12,) as the lectotype. This makes Santa Barbara the type locality. The reference in Oldroyd and others to the type depository as the Britisli Museum is incorrect. There is probably a finer sixth plication on the columella tlian is conspicuous in the photographs.

Carpenter's description (1865) of this species was republisiied by Oldroyd (1927) under Clathrodrillia rhines Dall. The following line should be added to complete that copy: "Hah. In sinu Pugetiano duo specimina legit Kennerley: quorum altero labium sub- callosum, altero planatum." [Carpenter, 1865e, p. 63] Dall renamed Drillia ca)icellata Carpenter because he considered there were turrids with the same specific name. However, the original names otlier tlian Carpenter were : Pleurotoma cancellata Eichwald, 1830, Nat. Lithuaen, p. 225; Deshayes, 1834, Descrip. Coq. foss. Paris, II, p. 474; Calcaka, 1839, Ricerche Malac, p. 5 ; H. C. Lea, 1841, Amer. lour. Sci., vol. XL, p. 98; (Sowerby), Wood, 1842, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist, vol.

That is, Carpenter's name is not a primary homonym. Until any of the turrids of the previously named cancellata is placed in the same genus as Drillia cancellata (Ophioderniella at present) Carpenter's name is not a secondary homonym and may stand. Dall (1908; 1919) rejected the name as a secondary homonym, which might be the basis for the validity of his new name. However, his basis ior claiming homonymy was not correct. If the specimen which Dall used for the illustration of MonUiopsis rhines (Dall) (1919, pi. 8, fig. 5) is considered not the same as O. cancellata (Carpenter), then that specimen (U. S. National Museum) would become the holotype of .1/. rhines Dall. Unfortunately the holotype of O. cancellata (Carpenter) has not been found. The problem of the identity of this species remains unsettled until analyzed in the light of Bartsch's unpublished turrid paper.

The following should be changed in her copy : Delete "in" last line Add: ". . . div. 30". "Hab. Sta. Barbara (Jeiuett)." [Carpenter, 1865h, p. 395] The only type material found consists of three specimens in the Redpath Museum, on original Carpenter glass mounts with a Carpenter label, " ? type Sta. Barbara Jewett." Apparently Carpenter was not sure of these specimens as types. But in lieu of the presence of specimens with better qualifications the writer retains these specimens as the syntypes. There is a difference of opinion as to the synonymy of M. varicgata, M. angulata (barbarcnsis) , M. z'itens (pulchrior), M. hecetae Dall and Bartsch, M. beta Dall, and others. (See Grant and Gale, 1931, p. 594; Willett, 1937, p. 394.) Grant and Gale placed M. angulata as equal to M. hecetae Dall and Bartsch (1910, p. 10, pi. 1, fig. 6) 113 which would eliminate the replacement name of M. barbarcnsis by Old- royd. Willett has shown by a series of intergradations that probably il/. angulata and M. variegata are the same species. Since the name M . angulata is preoccupied the specific name could stand as M. variegata. Smith and Gordon (1948) retained M. barbarcnsis (M. angulata), M. hecetae, and M. variegata as distinct species. For the purpose of this report the writer compiled the data under each name. Bartsch's monograph will shed critical light on the subject. Syntypes. — Redpatli Aluseum,ii* no. 90 Distribution. — Recent.

The follow- ing should be added to complete that copy : "Long. .38, long. spir. .22, lat. .13, div. 25°. "Hab. Neeah Bay; very rare {Swan)." [Carpenter, 186Sa, p. 29] The type material in the Redpath Museum, labelled type in Carpenter's handwriting on Carpenter's special glass mount, consists of 9 specimens, one of which is not M. interfossa. Figures of two of those specimens are included herein. Carpenter's first mention of the species (1864b, p. 628) stated that there were "several dead specimens." The shells are light yellow or brownish. The columella and labrum are smooth. There is also a specimen in the U. S. National Museum, no. 22818, labelled type. With the two suites of syntypes, it is advisable for a lectotype to be selected. Such a selection will depend on the results of Bartsch's work in his monograph of West Coast turrid species. The Mitroniorpha filosa barbarensis Arnold (1907a, pi. 11, fig. 1; 1907b, pi. LVII, fig. 1), which Grant and Gale indicated were the same form as this species, does not belong to the same genus if the illustration of Arnold's shell is correct. M. interfossa is not a Mitro- niorpha, as thought by Grant and Gale. The dift'erence in shape is readily seen if the figures of tlie types of M. interfos.m are compared with that of M. filosa, the type species of Mitroniorpha. The resemblance to M itntmorplia tisf^cra, whirii Grant and (iale suggested, is only superficial as may be seen by cniiiiiariiig tiie figinx's lierein of tlie types of both.

[Carpenter, 1865a, p. 29] Ten specimens at the Redpath Museum in the Carpenter collection are labelled "type Neeah Bay Swan." These are on the original Carpenter glass mounts, and the label is the original made by Carpenter. Of the 10 specimens, 5 are figured herein to show how constant or inconstant the characters may be. The specimens are worn, but they reveal the pre- dominant factors of the species. Ball's (1919) figure of the species (same in Oldroyd) is of a shell typical in shape and basic rib character, although the spacing of the spiral ribs of the posterior body whorl belong to an irregular kind. Dall does not e.xplain where the specimen came from. Besides the syntypes in the Redpath Museum there is also a specimen labelled "type" in the U. S. National Museum. That specimen has been examined by Bartsch and will probably be reported on by him. The shells figured by Arnold (1907) and Packard are not typical. Syntypes. — Redpath Museum, no. 89, U. S.

Oldroyd furnished a copy of Carpenter's description (1865) in her monograph (1927). Her copy should be corrected as follows : 118 The date of Mitromorpha in Oldroyd (1927, p. 173) has evidently been transposed in printing. The statement of type species as "Mitromorpha gracilis Carpenter" is a confusion following Arnold (1903) who said it was a "characteristic species". The name is a nomen nudum in both Arnold (1903, p. 223) and Oldroyd (1927, p. 173). M. gracilior Tryon (1884) (Hemphill ms.) was not described until 1884. 236 MARINE AfOLLUSCA DESCRIBED BY V. V. CARPENTER Change first word to "? D.t." ; line 7, insert ''angusta'' between "elongata" and "antice;" correct .69 to .09; insert "div. 35°" after "poll." The following lines should be added to complete her copy : "Hab. Monterey, Taylor. "Je n'ai vu de cette charmante petite coquille qu'un scul echantillon tres-frais, mais incompletemcnt adulte. Peut-etre se trouvera-t-elle mieux placee dans legenre Mitromorpha, A. Adams?" [Carpenter, 1865, p. 146] The holotype of this species is preserved in the U. S. National Museum and not, as stated by Oldroyd and followed by Grant and Gale, in the British Museum. The holotype bears the label '"Type Monterey Taylor," which coincides with the original description. A growth over the apical whorls obscures the characters, but the body whorl is well preserved. The sculpture is not worn, and the microscopic longitudinal stria- tions are clearly seen. At the crossing of the longitudinal and spiral ribs sharp nodes are formed. Mitromorpha gracilior Hemphill in Tryon, 1884, p. 317, pi. 25, fig. 62 was described by Tryon as a "variety" of M. aspera (Carpenter). Tryon used a manuscript name of Hemp- hill and did not indicate a locality for the specimen which he figured. Grant and Gale (1931, p. 597) followed by Smith and Gordon (1948, p. 185) indicated Monterey as the type locality. There is nothing in Tryon to confirm that statement of tyi)e locality. Three specimens in the Redpath Museum (no. 2360) are labelled "Mitromorpha gracilior Hemphill type S. Diego." These specimens were the types of the Hemphill manuscript name, but since Tryon is the author of the specific name, the specimen which Tryon figured would be the holotype. Unfortunately it had no published locality. The Redpath Museum specimens have lost their status as syntypes. M. gracilior is now regarded as distinct from M. aspera; hence the tracing of a type locality in connection with the holotype has not been pursued in this report. Holotype. — U. S.

[Carpenter, 1865h, p. 182] The holotype of this species is in the Redpath Museum at McGill University, on an original Carpenter mount with a Carpenter label, "type Sta. Barbara Jewett." It is dark red, the protoconch has about two smooth whorls, about four of the coarse spiral ribs are on the whorls of the spire, and the columella is smooth. The statement in Oldroyd and others that the type is in the British IMuseum is incorrect.

[Carpenter, 1864b, p. 646] Oldroyd (1927) published a copy of Carpenter's (1865)^-1 description, to which should be added the following: "Hab. Santa Cruz, Roivell.—San Diego, Cooper. "Cette espece est un peu abcrrante, a cause de son ouvcrture large, de son pli reporte pres du bord parietal et de sa columelle tordue commc celle des Bullitw. La ciselure des tours ressemble aux impressions que laisserait une serie de petit colliers." [Carpenter, 1865g, p. 139] Two syntypes in the U. S. National Museum arc labelled, "Fig'd type San Diego Cooper." Dall (1871) did not indicate whether the specimen he figured was a "type" or what the locality or measurements were. Dall's figure is the most likely of all the illustra- tions of the specie;^ to be that of a syntype. The measurements of the syntypes do not fit those given by Carpenter. '^^'^ Acteon is masculine in gender as well as Rictaxis. The original spelling is punctocae- lata. 121 It would appear from Oldroyd's text that the description she copied was from Car- penter (1864b), the only reference she mentioned (page error). Her republished descrip- tion is from Carpenter (1865g, p. 139). fiASTROrODA 239 There is a large columellar fold on the syntypes. The smaller shell is worn, but the larger specimens show the dark and white bands plainly. The writer chooses the larger of the two individuals to be the lectotype which is probably the one figured by Dall (1871). The writer makes this selection in spite of the discrepancy in measurements, because the two U. S. National Museum shells are the only one which have been found with any indication as to type label. The small shell that Carpenter measured (1865) apparently has been lost, and the two specimens now found are syntypic. If Carpenter handled these syntypes, which correspond in size to the dimensions of the shells which are usually identified as this species, it is strange that he chose such a small shell for representative size (.2 x 25.3 = 5.06 mm. long.; .09 x 25.3 = 2.27 mm. lat.). Carpenter's measurements are puzzling. Grant and Gale (1931, p. 443), as well as Burcli (no. 47, p. 9), commented on the relatively large size of the species as identified in contrast to the original dimensions. The choosing of the lectotype presents a more logical measurement basis of identification. The type locality is San Diego, California. The only possible localities whicii would qualify as type locality would be, "San Diego," "The Islands" ( Farallones), and Santa Cruz (see original description). Smith and Gordon (1948) indicated that Monterey was the type locality. Monterey was not included by Carpenter. Dall had sectjndary material from Monterey which he listed (1870).

To complete Oldroyd's copy the following should be added: "On the confines of the genus, related to Cylichna." [Carpenter, 1864a, p. 314] The type material consists of two specimens in the U. S. National Museum. They are on Carpenter's original glass mount, with label "type. C.S.L." The two specimens, 9 mm. in height, and 2 mm. in height, respectively, possibly represent the young and adult of the same species. The larger specimen is of the approximate dimension given by Carpenter, and the writer therefore selects it as the lectotype. If the smaller specimen is not a juvenile, it is of a different species but of the same genus and subgenus. The present illustration is the first published of the series. The fine concentric striations which cover the surface, greater anteriorly and posteriorly, do not show in the photograph.

The discrepancy may be due to the position of the shell in the photograph. The holotype of this species is in the U. S. National Museum. i2'> The holotype bears the label "Puget Sound Kennerley." This label is verified by the original description. As Keen pointed out Dall's distribution of San Diego, California, should be modified. The type locality is Puget Sound. There are microscopic vi'avy spiral lines over the entire surface of the shell. These are not revealed in the photograph of the holotype. The brownish epidermis is lighter in the central area. An elongate light spot is seen in the photograph. This is a glue spot on the shell and not part of the specimen. Holotype. — U. S. National Museum, no. 4495 Distribution.— Recent.

The holotype is in the British Museum with the Reigen Mazatlan Collection (tablet 1951). Dall and Bartsch published a drawing of a specimen in the U. S. National Museum. On page 21 they stated that the type was in the British Museum. On page 22 tliey stated that the illustration was of a 125 The statement in Oldroyd and Grant and Gale indicating the type depository as the Academy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia is incorrect. 244 MARTXF. ArOLLT'SCA DESCRIBED BY P. P. CARPENTER specimen in the U. S. National Museum. In the cx])lanatieated it later (1909). In regard to the measurement and category of the specimen figured there is a discrepancy. In the text (1907, p. 527) the specimen figured was said to be one of two specimens from the type locality by the original collector but not the holotype. Its length was given as 5.3 mm. which coincides with that in the explanation of the plate (pi. XLVII, fig. 6). However, the same drawing is included later (1909, pi. 23, fig. 2), but in the explana- tion of the plate it is listed as type with the length 2.3 mm., which is the length of the holo- type (p. 206). Examining the holotype one finds that the drawing of Dall and Bartsch is of the holotype which is no. 15520. It is smaller than another specimen (no. 46483 of Dall and Bartsch, p. 206) which is segregated. Dall and Bartsch, therefore, figured the holotype (1907; 1909, explanation pi. 23, fig. 2, 1909 is correct). A photograph of the holotype is included herein (pi. 21, figs. 9, 10). Dall and Bartsch determined O. straminea Carpenter (described from Cape San Lucas) as a southern smooth form of this species. 248 MARINE MOLLT'SCA DESCRIRKD RV P. P. CARPKXTER Holotypc. — U. S.

The type was figured by Dall and Bartsch (in Arnold) and in their later monograph (1909). Although Arnold indicated that the species was living from Cape San Lucas north to San Pedro, such distribution appar- ently was not verified. Arnold also included the species in the Pleistocene of San Diego. Jordan (1924) stated that the northern range extended to San Diego. On Jordan's authority. Keen and Burch include the species in the southern California fauna. The discussion and synonymy are not intended to be complete in this report.

California (Dall and Bartsch in Arnold ; Grant and Gale) Odostomia (Ivara) terricula Dall and Bartsch Odostomia (Ivara) terricula [turricula] Dall and Bartsch (1909, p. 179) was described by Dall and Bartsch in Arnold (1903, p. 285). The name was a manuscript one of Carpenter, and it was misspelled as terricula. Dall and Bartsch (1909) pointed out the typographical error, so the writer assumes that the corrected form might be authenticated. However, Dall (1921, p. 130) apparently decided that the original misspelling should stand for the specific name he so wrote it. Dall was followed by Oldroyd (1927, p. 173), Burch (1946, no. 61, p. 39), and Abbott (1954, p. 290). Keen (1937, p. 43) and Smith and Gordon (1948, p. 194) used "turricula." Such a dual usage is not a healthy condition in the taxonomy of the species, for error of interpretation and listing of two different species could easily creep into records. The most practical and least involved method of solving the problem is to return to the original spelling of the specific name. This has published sanction of one of the original authors. An original author, of course, has no more right to change his pub- lished name than any other author. However, in this case it does give an authoritative opinion.

V, Mollusca, p. 115 Keep used a manuscript name of Carpenter, so that Carpenter cannot be credited with the name. The above is a new name for that of Keep which was preoccupied when the species was transferred to Odostomia. Dall and Bartsch used specimens other than those of Keep for the type of their new name. They chose a specimen from Lower California. Again, as in the case of O. virginalis, a neotypic choice from the type area of Keep (California) would be more appropriate than from Lower California. The type of Oscilla insculpta Carpenter ms. is in the Redpath Museum, no. 2371. The Carpenter type was discovered by the author in 1951. There are two specimens with the label, "Oscilla insculpta San Diego H H type." Because Carjicnter's name is a nomcn nudtiin and Keep's is preoccupied the species is now known by Dall and Bartsch's appelation. The Carpenter type has no value. Therefore, no figure of it is included in this report. Genus Turbonilla Leach in Risso, 1826 Turhonilla Risso, 1826, Hist. Nat.

Bartsch (1912, p. 322) recorded the Keep type in the U. S. National Museum. Curiously Dall and Bartsch (1907) described a Turbonilla (Pyriscus) castanea. There- fore, when Keep's species was transferred to the category of Turbonilla, Dall and Bartsch's name became preoccupied.

However, Car- penter has a discrepancy in his choosing of the type. His description referred to Jewett as the collector. The writer, therefore, prefers to use the term lectotype in designating the lone type representative of the species. There is a slight and unimportant disagreement between the measurement of lengtli in the te.xt in Dall and Bartsch (1909, p. 94) and that stated in the explanation of the plate.

"II est possible qu'on reconnaisse plus tard que cette espece est le jeune age du Ch. tridentata: elle est intermediaire entre elle et le Ch. chocolata." [Carpenter, 1865g, p. 148] Dall and Bartsch (1907) gave and repeated (1909) a complete discussion of the shell of this species and figured the lectotype. The specimen (no. 4493b) is labelled "Puget Soirnd" and "Santa Barbara." Dall and Bartsch suggested tliat the specimen came from Puget Sound, as the species has not been reported south of there since Carpenter's and Cooper's time. Because of the discrepancy in the label, the writer uses the term lectotype and follows Dall and Bartsch in choosing Puget Sound as the proper locality. Dall and Bartsch referred (1907; 1909) to the specimen mentioned as "type," but it is listed by Bartsch (1912) as specimen. There is still uncertainty, however, regarding this species, because Carpenter (1864b, p. 531, 603, 659; 1865g, p. 148) made particular mention that the species was found by Col.

[Carpenter, 1865h, p. 396] There is a discrepancy as to the category of the illustration of this species in Dall and Bartsch. The explanation in the text and of the illustration in regard to the specimen figured by Dall and Bartsch (1907) stipulated that the specimen was collected by Dall at Monterey and did not indicate that the shell w^as the holotype. Under the circumstances it could not be the holotype. The type w^as either collected by Jewett or Cooper. Dall and Bartsch later (1909) duplicated the text and figures of the discussion of this species, except that, in the explanation of Figure 11 of the plate, "type" is inserted. The specimen in the U. S. Na- tional Museum, no. 14829 is indicated as type. This is the specimen catalogued by Carpenter in the U. S. National Museum catalogue. It is labelled "Chemnitzia ( ? torquata var. stylina) type Monterey Cooper." Another specimen in the Redpath ^Museum is labelled by Car- penter, "Chemn. ? var. stylina type St. Barbara." The two syntypes, therefore, of the original description are accounted for. Because each was collected at a different locality, the writer designates no. 14829 U. S. National Museum as the lectotype. Dall and Bartsch discussed the species thoroughly. Lectotype.- — U. S. National Museum, no. 14829 ; paratype, Redpath Museum, no. 5729 Distribution. — Recent. Monterey, California (type).

[Carpenter, 1864, p. 647] Oldroyd (1927) republished Carpenter's descripticjn (1864). To make tiiat cojjy complete the following should be added : "Hah. Neeah Bay {Szvan). "This genus, which culminates in western tropical American and at Cape Horn, is not known in California. The Vancouver species resembles 5". lateralis and its congeners, but differs in having an enormous lung-rib and no colour-rays." [Carpenter, 1864b, p. 426] The holotype of this species has not been found. The statement of Oldroyd that the type is in the U. S. National Museum is incorrect. Dall (1870) did not figure Carpenter's type, but a specimen (U. S. National Museum, no. 60412) collected by him from Sitka, Alaska. This specimen does not qualify as lectotype because the type locality is Neah Bay. The speci- men figured by Dall (1925) from Alaska (U. S. National Museum no. 55802) does not qualify for lectotype. So far, as Hubendick points out, this species is the only northern cold-water species in the Siphonariidae. It can be readily distinguished from other members of the family pro- vided the general locality of the specimens are known. Hubendick (1946) described the shell and anatomy.

[Carpenter, 1864b, p. 618] Oldroyd (1927) republished Carpenter's description (1864a). The following line should be added to make that copy complete: "= Nacella, sp. ind., Maz. Cat. no. 262, p. 202." Oldroyd, followed by Grant and Gale, stated that the type was in the Liverpool Aluseum which would mean that the shell (no. 262) of the Mazatlan Catalogue was considered the type. Carpenter was explicit in his first notes (1864b, p. 545) that the species was "described from Cape St. Lucas specimens." The syntypes consist of two specimens in the U. S. National Museum, mounted on an original Carpenter glass mount and labelled in Carpenter's handwriting, "Cape St. Lucas Xantus M. Cat. 262," and two specimens in the Redpath Museum marked "type Cape San Lucas." The two specimens in the U. S. National Museum measure: length 4 mm.; 1.5 mm.; greatest diameter 3 mm. ; 1 + mm., respectively. The Redpath Museum specimens measure : 4 mm. by 3.5 mm. by 2 mm. ; 3 + mm. by 2.5 mm. by ? respectively. Regardless of a note with the Carpenter types, "fig'd by Dall." one cannot believe that those were the shells which Dall illustrated. Certainly the shell that he figured (1921, pi. 15, figs. 10, 12), which in the explanation of the plate (p. 216) is labelled as "type", cannot be such a specimen. Dall's measurements of "long. 10 mm., alt. 6.5 mm." are nearly three times the typical measurements. The illustration of Williamia labelled peltoides which Dall included (1870, p. 1. 4, fig. 11a, b) could not be of the Carpenter type. Dall (1921) indicated that the specimen was W. vernalis, which he regarded at the later date as distinct from W. peltoides. The syntypes were young individuals. The measurements which the writer made of the larger of the two approximate those of Carpenter (.14 by 25.3 mm. = 3.54 mm. long.; .11 by 25.3 mm. = 2.78 mm. lat.). The writer, therefore, selects the larger of the two syntypes as the lectotype of this species. The illustration is reserved for a later report. The Redpath paratypes also approach the typical measurements. A figure of the larger of the two speci- mens is included herein. Dall stated (1870) "after a careful study of the types," that Nacella stibspiralis Car- penter belonged to the same species as W. peltoides as well as Nacella ? vernalis. The name of the latter was given in manuscript by Dall (1866), but he later (1878) classified it as a variety of Liriola peltoides. He later separated the two as distinct species (1921). The paratypes in the Redpath Museum are thin-shelled. They have a few faint widely separated radiating ridges. The tip of the shell is white and the remainder brownish. 260 MARINE MOLLUSCA DESCRIBED BY P. P. CARPENTER Types. — Lectotypc and paratype, U. S.

The type should be in the British MuseuuL In papers by Carpenter in the same year as the AMPiiiNEtJftA 261 description (1857) Carpenter reported the species from San Diego. Later he listed it from the same area, Santa Barbara group of islands, and Lower California. Distribution. — Recent. Mazatlan, Mexico (type) ; Monterey, California i^s to Mazatlan, Mexico (Dall). Pleistocene. California (Arnold; Grant and Gale; Willett, 1937; Woodring, Branilette, and Kew) Mexico (Jordan, 1926) Class AMPHINEURA Because Carpenter died before his large chiton monograph was completed, various manu- script names of that group crept into literature. Many were first introduced by Dall without proper diagnoses and in some cases with a manuscript name of the type species. Some of those names are now credited to Carpenter and some to Dall. Technically Carpenter should not receive credit, and there is grave doubt that Dall's introduction of the names was ade- quate to establish him as author. See discussion under individual species. Pilsbry carefully and explicitly explained in the "Preface" to the monograph of the Poly- placophora (1892, p. iv) that the types were Carpenterian in cases where the new species were credited to Carpenter, and tlie descriptions were quoted from his manuscript. Where the original description was that of Pilsbry, the types would be those of Pilsbry and would be in the Academy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia. In the explanation of plates (1892, p. 334), acknowledgment of the work of Foord, Smith, and Emerton, prepared under Car- penter's supervision, is a clue to what figures were of specimens in the Carpenter Collection. Specimens which were utilized by Pilsbry other than Carpenter individuals are indicated as drawn by Pilsbry or Ross. Following the above rule the writer tried to analyze accordingly the matter of author and type credit of the Pilsbry-Carpenter chiton names. In some cases it is difficult to render a strict ruling. But in most cases Dr. Pilsbry's distinction is apparent and defined. However, in no case where Carpenter ms. names are described for the first time in Pilsbry can Car- penter be the sole author as referred in Dall (1921, e.g. p. 190, "StenopJax fallax Carpenter, 1892"). His references are misleading to workers not familiar with the literature and can cause unnecessary labor in hunting for such a reference. If Carpenter is to be credited, the less confusing is "Carpenter in Pilsbry," or a similar modified form. The confusion of Car- penter manuscript names has been continued in recent literature, e.g., "CalUstochiton Car- penter, 1882" (LaRocque, 1953, p. 12), "Nnttalina Carpenter, 1873" (LaRocque, 1953, p. 11), "Stenoradsia Carpenter, 1878," "Placiphorella Carpenter, 1878," and "Nnttalina Carpenter, 1879" (Abbott, 1954, p. 314). For the status of those manuscript names and others of Car- penter, see the list of Carpenter's generic names in this monograph. Many of the chiton types had been preserved for so long in a curved position that the measurement of length implies the dimension of the line which subtends the curva- ture of the specimen. Family Lepidopleuridae Genus Leptochiton Gray, 1847 I.eptocliiton Gray, 1847, Zool. Soc. London, Proc, p. 127 Type species by subsequent designation. Gray, Zool. Soc.

Chiton albus," [not 133 Smith and Gordon do not report it from Monterey. 134 This type designation, specific name without author, cannot be taken without reference to the original description or mention of the generic name. A type species designation must be one that was listed in the original description. Therefore, the authorship of C. cinereus rests upon Gray's mention (p. 127) which is as follows: "Leptochiton cinereus. Chiton cinereus, Montague [sic] = Ch. asellus, Lowe, Zool. Jour. var. white, Chiton albus." The difficulty which has arisen in the pronouncement of the type species of this genus is in the interpreta- tion of the above paragraph. If Gray regarded the first mention of L. cinereus as of Linnaeus (1767, p. 1107) then Linnaeus would be assumed as author (p. 168), and C. cinereus L. would be the type species of Lepidochiton. The genus would be different than that assumed by present West Coast workers. The otlicr interpretation would be as Gray stated in the 262 MARINE MOLLlTSCA DESCRIBED BY P. P.

This specimen has much the appearance of a young Ch. articulatns, but differs essentially in the character of the ligament." [Carpenter, 1855, p. 232] G. L. Wilkins (personal communication, October 17, 1950) obligingly furnished the fol- lowing information in regard to possible type specimens in the British Museimi : "We have a specimen of Chiton nuttalli Carpenter. Were it not for the fact that it is marked 'Mus. Cuming' it might well have been the small si>ecimen as 'passed over' on p. 232 P.Z.S. 1855. It is too small for the type. The locality is given as 'Santa Barbara' — perhaps a paratype?" Since the small specimen "passed over" should be from "Mus. Cuming," the specimen referred to by Wilkins could possibly be the one mentioned by Carpenter. The locality does not correspond to what might be intimated by Carpenter in the description. The only refer- ence to "Santa Barbara" by Carpenter is to the "Santa Barbara group of islands (1864b, p. 649; 1872, p. 135) Smith and Gordon (1948, p. 205) expressed the opinion that this form is the young of C. hartzvegii. The included photograph of the holotype has been co-operatively furnished by the officials of the British Museum (Natural History), G. L.

Therefore, there is no question as to the synonymy of Carpenter's name with the earlier of Gould. As Pilsbry (1892) explained Gould had mis- taken spots for denticles. Carpenter noted the fact and supposed a new name was required. The type of "Chiton dentiens" Gould is in the U. S. National Museum, no. 5824. Two other suites of supplementary material of the species, which were labelled by Carpenter in connection with his name pseudodentiens, are labelled types in the U. S. National Museum.

Pilsbry, however, gave a AMPniNF.URA 267 complete description and drawing of his own using one of Enierton's illustrations which had been supervised by Carpenter. Whether the specific name dates from Dall (C. gemma) or Pilsbry (C. gemmea), the original Carpenter types can be used as syntypcs. Tlie Emerton drawing was probably of the type. Five specimens in the Carpenter Collection in the Redpath Museum are on the original glass mounts with a Carpenter label, "type Monterey Canfield." There are also in the Redpath Aluseum (no. 71) two specimens labelled "Chaetopleura gemma van limata type Monterey Canfield (comp. lanuginosus)."

San Diego, California, to San Ignacio Lagoon, Lxjwer California, (pi. 27, fig. 7) The authorship and date of the establishment of the above generic name is involved in the same technicality as that of the type species. In the first reference cited Dall used several of Carpenter's manuscript names, both generic and specific. In the case of the specific names he described only the dentition of the radula. If this case can be construed as belonging under Article 27, Int. Rules of Zoological Nomenclature, the names so intro- duced by Dall (1879) are available. Pallochiton would date from Dall, 1879, because the name of its monotype is validated at the same time. Dall, 1882, is usually given for Pal- lochiton. If the validity of Pallochiton and P. lanuginosus is not accepted as of Dall, 1879, then the same names would date from Dall, 1882, the generic and specific description being synonymous.

In this case Dall used Carpenter's manuscript name and probably studied Carpenter's notes. Dall did not specify a type. Dall (1882), in an indirect description of Pallochiton, presented details of the species, P. lanuginosus. There are in the Carpenter Collection in the Redpath Museum five specimens on original glass mounts with a Carpenter label "Hemphillia lanuginosus Cpr. type Todos Santos Bay Lower California H. Hemphill." An illustration of one of those complete types which re- veals the beautiful sculpture is included herein. The note in Oldroyd that the type is in the U. S. National Museum is incorrect. Pilsbry (1892) presented a complete description of the species and used drawings made by himself as well as drawings which had been supervised by Carpenter. Pilsbry (Personal communication. May 15, 1951) considered that his description was the first and selected the specimen of Figure 4 of Plate 56 of his original illustrations as the lectotype. His types are from Pt. Abreojos, Lower California, and are in the Academy of Natural Sciences. The several species, the names of which were published by Dall (1879) in connection with the dentition only, cannot be identified by Dall's remarks. For value to workers the authority should date with Pilsbry, 1892. 7v/'<'.f.— Syntypes : Redpath Museum, no. 66 (of Dall); lectotypcs and paratypes : Acaemy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, no. 35684 (of Pilsbry).

[Dall, 1879, p. 296 dentition] Whether this species must be credited to Dall or to Pilsbry is a technical question. Cer- tainly Carpenter is not the author, for both Dall and Pilsbry used Carpenter's ms. name. Dall (1879) first used the name as that of the type species of Maugerella, also a ms. name of Carpenter's. Dall described and figured only the dentition of the radula of the species. Pilsbry gave a detailed description of the shell and illustrated the same with several drawings, two of W'hich were made for Carpenter. If Pilsbry is regarded as the author the holotype of the species is no. 35709,^^^ Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, collected by Henry Hemphill from San Diego. It is prob- ably the specimen figured by Pilsbry (pi, 15, figs. 91-93, 96). 136 Not 35704 as in Oldroyd (1927, p. 270). AMPTIINEURA 271 However, if Ball's prior remarks have precedent, a lectotype should be selected. Though Ball used Carpenter's manuscript notes for the major details of his paper (1879), he probably did not have Carpenter's type of the species in his study of the dentition. Carpenter's type remained at the Redpath Museum where it is novi^. There is one specimen of eight separate plates labelled by Carpenter, "original type" of Maugerella conspiciia from La Paz collected by Pease. There are also 11 fine complete specimens labelled "type normal San Biego Hemp- hill Sta. Barbara Cooper (= magdalensis, var. stibobsolefa B.A. Rep.)." Unfortunately the last label is of little value in determining a specific locality. There apparently is no type desig- nated by Ball in existence, so that the Carpenter specimen is the logical shell to become the lectotype for the species of Ball's authorship. This selection would automatically change the type locality from San Biego to La Paz. Illustration of a Carpenter specimen is included herein for completeness. The plates of the specimen are pinkish and purplish beneath the jugum. Pilsbry included the Carpenter ms. description and drawing of a "variety solidus" (1892, p. 64, pi. 15, fig. 97) of a worn specimen which he regarded only as an individual variation.

[Carpenter, 1866a, p. 212] AMPHINEURA 273 There are in the Redpath Museum two complete specimens and three separate plates which were labelled by Carpenter, "Type La Paz Pease." One of those specimens is figured herein. In the first mention of /. pectinatus Carpenter (1864b, p. 612) the specimen was reported from Catalina Island. The name in this reference is a nomen nudum. The second brief refer- ence (1864b, p. 649), quoted above, listed specimens only from Santa Barbara Islands. The 1866 description cited Catalina and Santa Barbara Island. Lower California is not included in any of Carpenter's remarks. Therefore, the locality with the type specimens must be in error or a misplacement of labels. As Pilsbry and Berry have pointed out the name /. pectinatus Carpenter is preoccupied. A possible substitute name was /. pcctimdatiis Carpenter ms. However, its introduction by Pilsbry must date the name from 1892 by Pilsbry, and it cannot be credited to Carpenter. The introduction by Pilsbry is somewhat ambiguous in its manner of connection with /. clathratns Reeve, and the writer agrees with Berry that it is not a strict substitute for /. pectinatus Carpenter. Berry (1931) proposed the name /. calijorniensis to cover the "commonest southern Californian Lepidocona," but he doubted that it was a substitute for /. pectinatus Carpenter (1864; 1866). Even though Carpenter's remarks (1864) are brief, his later description (1866) qualifies to validate a specific name. Berry selected a type locality when presenting a new name which is not the same as that of /. pectinatus Carpenter. Unfortunately there is the nonconformity in type locality between the description and the label of the type. Hence there is uncertainty that the specimen labelled tyi^e is an authentic type. It could be compared with specimens from the northern and southern range of species and determined to what it bears the closer resemblance. The problem of whether /. calijorniensis is a substitute name and whether it is equivalent to /. pectinatus Carpenter is still unsettled. Berry (1931) did not give the range of /. cali- forniensis. He (1922) specified Monterey to Todos Santos Bay, Lower California, and stated that it was found in the Pleistocene of California.

Pilsbry also utilized Carpenter's manuscript name (1892), but he composed his own description and used specimens from the collections of the Academy of Natural Sciences. The specific name, if Dall's description is not validated, should be credited to Pilsbry as has usually been done. Smith and Gordon date the specific name from Dall. Apparently Dall used Carpenter's manuscript notes in identifying the species. No specimen has been found which could be identified as a type for Dall's description.

He used a manuscript name of Carpenter's. At first he did not regard the name as representing more than a color variation of /. cooperi Carpenter. However, he later (1921) listed the form as a bona fide subspecies, from "San Diego to Los Animas Bay, Lower California." The liolotype in the U. S. National Museum is labelled, "Todos Santos Bay Hemphill" and marked in red pencil "type." There are 11 specimens in the Cari)entcr Collection at the Redpath Museum which are labelled "type" by Carpenter. Five of them are from Todos Santos Bay collected by Hemp- hill (Redpath Museum, no. 18). Six others are labelled, "Sta. Cruz Cooper False Bay near S. Diego collected by Hemphill" (Redpath Museum, no. 8). Since the form has not been illustrated previously the illustrations of the McGill speci- mens are included herein. They are not types because the subspecific name would date from Dall or later, depending on the validity of Dall's name. The problem has passed beyond the scope of Carpenter type material. The illustrations may help to determine whether Dall was correct in assigning subspecific rank. The writer includes them under /. cooperi. Holotype. — U. S.

Un- fortunately the species was not figured, and the whereabouts of the type does not seem to be known. Pilsbry published Carpenter's manuscript description. That description is also avail- able in Oldroyd who republished a copy of the same. Willett thought he knew what /. de- cipiens was and because of gradation believed that the form named /. (jallina by Berry was merely a color form of /. decipiens. In a list of chitons in Dall's handwriting in the collection in the U. S.

Pilsbry also mentioned that the specimen figured by him was not Carpenter's type but a secondary specimen from the Smithsonian Institution. Car- penter's original types (mentioned by Pilsbry) are in the Redpath Museum. There are four specimens mounted and labelled by Carpenter, "type Monterey Canfield." Since the McGill specimens are more complete tlian that in the U. S. National Museum (No. 19471), the AMPHINEURA 275 writer chooses the one figured herein as the lectotype, with the remaining three Rcdpath Museum specimens and the U. S.

The photographs included of the Redpath Museum specimen have been taken w^ith the specimens blown with ammonium chloride to bring out the details of sculpture; therefore the flecked coloration does not show.

He later (1893) included a sketch (Fig. 47) of part of one plate of the type and added a detailed description of the species. In the Carpenter Collection in the Redpath Museum there is a mounted specimen labelled by Carpenter "Ischnochiton subexpressus Cpr. type = scabricostatus Cooper 518a 20 fms. Catalina Is." This is a manuscript name of Carpenter, although it is not so indicated on the label. A photograph of the shell is included herein, so that the record may be clear. The specimen is /. retiporosus Carpenter as may be seen by comparison of Pilsbry (1893, pi. 16, fig. 47) and this report (pi. 30, fig. 7). The Redpath Museum specimen has been coated with ammonium chloride to bring out details of sculpture, but this method obliterates coloration. The note on the label, " = scabricostatus Cooper 518a," has not been explained. The pub- lished number of /. scabricostatus is "1071c" (Cooper's number, California Geological Sur- vey) ; 518a was the number of "Trachydermon gothicus" (Carpenter, 1866a, p. 212). Holotype.—U. S.

Size o.k." The figures of this species by Pilsbry are likely those of the type material, probably from the Carpenter ms. illustrations. The figures were drawn by Emerton under Carpenter's su- pervision. The included illustration was furnished by the authorities of the British Museum (Natural History). Carpenter's references (1864b) are not cross-referenced. Under Chiton regnlaris in the index (1872, p. 35), reference is to page 40 only with the additional reference, 1857, pages 287, 318, and 1855, page 232. In the same publication (1872) index (p. 62) under Lepido- pleurus regularis, page 135 only is indicated. On page 135 Carpenter referred L. rcgularis to "P.Z.S., p. 232", so that he referred to the same species.

Pilsbry's type was a specimen in the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia. In this case, therefore, the species should be attributed to Pilsbry and not Carpenter. The synonymy, therefore, is not intended to be complete. In the Carpenter Collection in the Redpath Museum, there are 12 fine specimens on Carpenter's glass mounts with a Carpenter label, "type S. Diego Hemphill (Comp. vcredcntiens)." These specimens were evidently Carpenter's ms. types. Pilsbry (1893) de- scribed differences between the typical form from Lower California and an individual from San Diego collected by Henry Hemphill. The specimens which Carpenter had labelled type should fall in the category to which Pilsbry called attention. Five of those specimens are figured herein to define the variation, if an^^ The number of ribs on the head valve varies from 11 to 12.

Callistochiton fimbriatus Carpenter is a nomen nudum. The name has been frequently mentioned in literature, but Carpenter never described the species. Pilsbry was aware of the problem in connection with the name and, therefore, did not use the Carpenter name but 139 The first species mentioned in connection with the generic name was Callistochiton decoratus "Carpenter". Dall in Orcutt (1886, p. 544). However, at that time that specific name was a nomen nndmn, and it did not become valid until by Pilsbry, 1892. Therefore, Pilsbry's type designation has priority. AMPITINEURA 279 gave a new designation (C. crassicostatus) to the chiton whicli would liave been described by Carpenter. Pilsbry did not believe that the use of the name by Cooper applied to the same form. The specific name was used for a chiton by Sowerby (1840). The name is thus best dropped from literature of chitons. References to name : "Callochiton fimbriatus Cpr. (AISS.)," Cooper, 1867, Geog. Cat. Moll., Geol. Sur. California, p. 23 nomen nudum.

Barbara : olim legit T. Nuttall. Mus. suo. "A very sharply angled, thin, delicately marked species, with extremely thin margin, and the edges of the valves deeply cut within." [Carpenter, 1855, p. 232] ".Subgeneric, aberrant form; with small blunt plate, instead of post, sinus, between the two principal lobes." [Carpenter 1864b, p. 648] Three specimens illustrated by Pilsbry ( 1892) were considered by him as the types. He considered one specimen (pi. 64, figs. 76, 77) the "holotype" (Pilsbry, May 15, 1951, per- sonal communication). They were collected by H. Hemphill at San Diego, California. How- ever, the real holotype is in the British Museum. It is in the Nuttall Collection and bears a Nuttall label, "Chiton incisus. Sta. Barbara". There is also in Carpenter's handwriting the following note, "Comp. acutus. Cpr. Probably I found inciscus preoccupied." (Fide G. L. Wilkins, Jan. 1, 1952, personal communication.) A photograph of the type was furnished by the British Museum The type of M. plumosa. Carpenter in Pilsbry is in tiie Newcomb Collection (25530), Geology Department, Cornell University. The drawings made of that type for Carpenter were published by Pilsbry. Pilsbry also included a description of M. fissa Carpenter ms. but did not illustrate the holotype, which he stated was from Monterey. Pilsbry regarded botii M. plitnwsa and M. fissa as synonymous with M. acuta (Carpenter). A specimen in the Redpath Museum is labelled by Carpenter, 'Mopalia filosa Cpr. MS. type St. Barbara Cooper plumosa & acuta." This certainly is the "M. fissa" Carpenter ms. in Pilsbry. M. filosa Carpenter ms. is a namcn nudum and is cither an error for fissa, or the fissa is an error for filosa. They equal the same and are regarded as equivalent to M. acuta Carpenter. The photo of "M. filosa" type is included to illustrate the character of fissa. Photographs of the type A. filosa Carpenter ms. were sent to Allyn Smith in 1945. Mr. Smith (Personal communication) wrote, "The species is undoubtedly what we are now calling Mopalia acuta (Carpenter), whicli Dall i>laces as a subspecies of M. muscosa (jould, which I believe is not justified." "Mopalia filosa Ci)r. MS." is not the Artliuria filosa Cari)entcr ms. in Dall (1882, p. 287) and/or in Pilsbry (1892, p. 258).

Both suites are on the original glass mounts of Carpenter with Carpenter's original label. There are five specimens at McGill labelled, "type Catalina Is. St. Barbara Is. Cooper." The specimen in the U. S. National Museum consists of four small plates with a label, "Catalina Id. Cooper type." The photograph of one of the types at McGill is included. It may be verified readily with the original drawings of plates by Carpenter in Pilsbry pi. 15, figs. 28, 29). Berry (1919) pointed out distinguishing features of this species which was then little known. Oldroyd republished Pilsbry's translation of Carpenter's Latin description. Syntypes. — U. S.

(pi. 33, fig. 14, holotype) Trachydermon Carpenter was first mentioned (1864b, p. 612) with two species Ischnochi- ton (Trachydermon) pseudodcntirns Carpenter [= Cyanopla.r dentiens (Gould).] and /. (T.) gotliicns Carpenter, "n.s." A:\rPTTINEURA 285 T. gothicus Carpenter was at the time a manuscript name and, therefore, not eligible to be type species of the genus. /. psetidodentiens Carpenter was a name given by Carpenter for Chiton dentiens Gould (1846). Hence Chiton dentiens Gould is the monotype of Trachyder- mon. Chiton dentiens Gould is a Cyanoplax Pilsbry, 1892 {fide Berry, 1948b, p. 14), which makes Trachydcnnon Carpenter have precedent over the later generic name. In Carpenter's second mention of Trachydermon (1864b, p. 649) he included nine species in the genus. It is this second reference which Pilsbry (1892, p. 67; 1893, p. 62, 63) considered the original reference. Pilsbry designated the last species mentioned, T. flcctcns Carpenter, as the type species of the genus. Dall (1879, p. 295) used Trachydermon Carpenter with "T. cinereiis Lowe" as type species. That designation is not valid, because that species was not included by Carpenter in the original mention of the genus. Berry (1918) proposed the name Basiliochiton for T. flectcns Carpenter, because he had been told that Trachydermon was preoccupied. However, although there are several uses of Trachyderma (Latreille, 1829; Gravenhorst, 1829; Wiegman, 1834) the appellation of Tra- chydermon has not been used other than that of Carpenter. Basiliochiton is not necessary or valid unless the first reference of Carpenter is accepted, whereby Trachydermon, 1864, has precedent over Cyanoplax Pilsbry, 1892. If this condition is not accepted, Trachydermon is a bona fide generic name, and T. flectcns Carpenter is the type species. Prof. Henry Poirier was consulted in regard to the equivalence of Trachyderma and Trachydermon because of similar classical origin. Professor Poirier kindly sent his opinion (Oct. 6, 1955, personal communication) as follows: "They {Trachyderma and Trachydermon) differ only in termination, but Trachydermon introduced in 1863 should not now be rejected because it has the same origin and meaning as Trachyderma."

To Oldroyd's copy of Carpenter's description (1865e) the following lines should be added: "Hah. In sinu Pugetiano legit Kennerley : in insula Vancouver legit Lord : prope Mon- terey, Taylor: apud San Diegoncm, Cooper." [Carpenter, 1865e, p. 60] The type of this species has not been found. The statement in Oldroyd (1927) that it is in the U. S. National Museum and her statement regarding type locality are incorrect. The type locality could be one of three locales (see description above), depending on where a syntype may be found. Berry's (1925, p. 24) statement that Puget Sound is the type locality will only prove to be true if a type is eventually found or selected from that area. There are two lots of specimens (not types) in the U. S. National Museum which bear the name "L. flectcns montereyensis Cpr." This is a nomen nudum.
