Excerpt from Mollusca Shells, Vol. 12
With rare exceptions, the shells were collected on the sea-beach and coral reefs, very few opportunities having been afforded for obtaining specimens from deep water, by the dredge, on account of the incessant employment of the men and boats on special hydrographical duties.
Several zoological provinces not previously explored were examined, and furnished most interesting groups of specimens. Among them are the collections made at Tierra del Fuego; the land-shells of the. Society and Samoa Islands, as well as other Pacific islands; and the marine shells of Oregon, - more especially those from Puget's Sound, every one of which appear to be new to collections.
