 The original description of Hamites Vancoiivercnsis is as 
 follows : " Siiell large, section elliptical, longest diameter 
 from dorsal to ventral side. Inner width of the curve less 
 than the diameter of the smaller arm. Surface marked 
 by numerous sharp ribs crossing the shell, inclined 
 obliipiely forwards ; well marked l)ut diminished in size 
 on the ventral side; largest laterally; each rib carrying a 
 small flattened tubercle on the latero-dorsal angle ; S(jme 
 ribs in the curve, on the ventral side, exhil)it a tendency 
 to tuberculation, but the shell being l)r(tken ofl' at that 
 point, their presence cannot l)e satisfactorily determined. 
 Interspaces l)ctween the ribs broadly concave. Septum 
 unknown. Figuie, one-half natural size. Locality, Van- 
 couver Island, associated with AiniiKuiUr.H Xcrln'rriianus 
 and another Annnonite, ;-',pecies undetermined, and a 
 JJaculite, figured on [il. 17, ligs. 28 and 28a, and pi. 14, 
 lig 2!). Closely allied, in form and oi'namentation, to H. 
 FroiiontU, IVlarcou, (ieoj. N. America, p. .'»(), pi. l.tig. :!. 
 It diU'ers in the ribs continuing com[»letely across the 
 ventral face, and in each rib earrying a node, instead of

 evcTy third ii1>, us in Marcoii's species." The s]»ecimeii 
 limued by Mr. Gahl», it nmy be added, has a little more 
 than four inelies of the prol(»nt>ed portion of the shell i)re- 
 served, and a very small i)ieee of the reflected anterior 
 })ortion. 
 
 Until (piite recently, the Vv'riter had never seen a speci- 
 men of this species. In the fall of ISiS.'i, Mr. Walter 
 Harvey, of Comox, V.I., made a remarkable collection of 
 fossils (which has since l)een ac([uired for the provincial 
 nnisenni at Victoria) from the Cretaceous rocks at Denman 
 and Hornby islands, in the Strait of Georgia. This 
 collection was kindly loaned to the writer for examination 
 and study, by Mr. Jolui Fannin, the Curator of the 
 museum at Victoria, in the .sprin<f of 1894. Besides otiier 
 si)ecim6ns of mucli scientific interest, whicii have been or 
 wliich will be reported upon elsewhere, it contains a tine 
 example of IlaijiifcH Vancoiiirrcnsi.s or, as it should now be 
 vn\\cd,Aiiisoceras VaiicoavercnscjYonx Hornby Island. The 
 still more perfect specimen of that species represented in 
 outline, of one-fifth less than the natural size, on the 
 plate which accompanies this ])apcr, was collected l)y Mr. 
 Harvey at Hornby Island this year (18i)5) and kindly 
 forwarded to the writer for examination. 
 
 The specimen belouifing to the Museum at Victoria is a 
 well })rescrvcd cast of the interior of nearly the whole of 
 the prolonged and reflected portions of the shell, with 
 small ])ieces of the test remaining. Its maxinnuu length 
 is a liltlc more than tixc inches and its marginal outline 
 is regularly bul I'ather broadly elliptical, as tiie shell is 
 curved olili(pii'ly outward licfore becoming straight and 
 [)i'olonged. Tiu' distance Itetween the prolonged and 
 reflected portions is nnich less than the dorso-ventral 
 diameter of tiie ivtlected portion. The surface is strongly 
 ribbed, and many of the ribs beai" a large conical 
 tubercle on each side of the periphery, but there is much 
 irregularity in tiic disposition of the ribs and tubercles.

 On the sides of tlie sliell the iil»s are usually siin}>le aiul 
 disposed with eoinparative rcffularity, hut they neeasioually 
 hifureate, or a short rih is intercalated hetween two loii<,'er 
 ones, and two rihs t're<iuently coalesce on both sides, at 
 OIK! of tlie tubercles on the outer nmr<^in of the periphery. 
 In some jjlaces a sini,de continuous rih devoid of tuliercles 
 alternates with a sin<i,le tubercidated rib or with two ribs 
 that l)ear a tubiircle lietween them on each side of tht; ])eri- 
 l)lu'ry, l>ut the ])air's of tubercles are placed at vai'yin,t>' dis- 
 tances aj)art longitudinally, aud not rarely a littli^ to one 
 side of a rib rather than immediately upon it. The sutural 
 line is nowhere visible. 
 
 The sj)ecimen fig'ured, which is slightly distorted, is 
 nearly eitiht inches in its maximum len,u;th. Althou<i,h 
 im])erf(!ct posteriorly, enough of the earlier j)ortion of (he 
 sludl is preserved to show that it is narrowly elongated, 
 sinuous, s])irally twistxid and curved o!)li([uely outward 
 ])efore becomiiii;' straight and prohuiu'ed, and that it does 
 not consist of a sti'ai^'ht shelly tube l)ent twice or more 
 upon itself, as in Jfaniifcs proper. The spiral twist pos- 
 teriorly is especially marked by the lateral jjosition of tiie 
 two rows of tu])ercles whicli ultimately border the i)eri- 
 plieiy. The ribs, which sometimes trifurcate, are much 
 narrower than the broad concave "grooves between them, 
 and at least one of the tubercles, in the earlier portion of 
 the shell, is pronunent and acutely conical, thus giving- 
 the impression that the whole of the tuliercles ujton the 
 ribs of liotli s])eeimens may l)e the bases of spines. This 
 specimen has convinced the writer that Haviitcs Vancou- 
 vcrensis is a true Anisoccras, allied to A. armalmn, 
 Sowerby, Imt devoid of lateral tubercles, also that the 
 fragment from Comox descrilied and figured by Meek as 
 Hch'Toceras Coiyperi, is ])robably a small piece of the abru])tly 
 bent part of Anisticrras Vanrotiirrnm: A similar frag- 
 ment, now in the writer's jjossession, was collected (piite 
 recently by Mr. Harvey at Hornby Island. It is most

 HKTEIlOrEUAS HOUNHYEXSE. (Nom. prov.) 
 
 Shell dextrnl, deprtissed turbinate, much broader than 
 hi^di, and composed, so far as is known, of five or six 
 rounded, ventricose volutions, which are in close contact 
 hut without embracing; spire moderately elevated: umbi- 
 licus ])road and deep, exposing' the whole of the inner 
 volutions. 
 
 Surface marked with sim})le and not very tiexuous 
 transverse ril»s. Upon the last volution one or two con- 
 tinuous rilis without tubercles alternate with a rib or pair 
 of ribs which bears or bear a small but vutlier prominent 
 tubercle on each side of the ])erii)hery. Usually two ribs 
 coalesce, both al)ove and below, at each tul)ercle, l)Ut occa- 
 sionally a single thickeiu'd I'ib bears ii. ])air of tubercles. 
 In pliice!-',, also, wher'.; the test is preserved, the surface is 
 seen to be markiul with fine raised lines, parallel to the 
 I'ibs. Sutural line; uid<nown. 
 
 Maximum Ineadth of the outer volution of the largest 
 si)ecimen collected, nearly two inches and three-([uarters. 
 
 Hornby Island, W. Harvey, 1894 ; two specimens, one 
 with most of three volutions, and the other with the whole 
 of fcmr volutions and a part of the fifth ja-eserved. 
 
 It is, ])erha])s, doulttful whether the distinctions 
 between Ili'turocrraa and AinHoccroH can l)e maintained. 
 In the one the earlier volutions are Siiid to be alwiiys in 
 contact, while those of the other are descrilied as separate 
 and as forming an irregular open spiral. The two speci-

 and more ])artieidarly in the cironmstanee that some of 
 these ribs Ijear a tuliercle on each side of the ])eri])hery. 
 On the other hand, the snrface ornamentation of the only 
 known s))e('imens of H. ffornhj/cnsc is so like that of 
 Anisocerm Vancouver e rise, that it is just ])ossiI)le that they 
 may i)rove to be specimens of the early sta<;e of larj^'e

 Hornby Island, W. Harvey, 1804 ; a single specimen 
 about an inch and three (piarters in its maximum diameter, 
 with nearly the whole of one volution remarkably well 
 preserved. 
 
 It is not at all unlikely that the early volutions of H. 
 HornhyenM may be coiled inditl'erently to the right or left, 
 and if so, that this may Ije a mere siinstral variety of that 
 shell. Or, if H. Hornbi/cnse should prove to l)e the apical 
 ])ortion of Anisoceras Vancouverensc, it may be that the 
 ap(\x of that species- is coiled to the right in some speci- 
 mens and to the left in others.
