Phallodrilus tempestatis n.sp., a marine tubificid (Annelida: Oligochaeta) from intertidal habitats of British Columbia, is characterized by frequent extension of one spermathecal ampulla into IX, the broad attachment of the anterior prostate to the atria, and the form and number of penial setae. Phallodrilus tempestatis n.sp. extends the distribution of Phallodrilus to the North Pacific.

Palmaria hecatensis sp. nov. is described based on material from northern British Columbia. Male gametophytes and tetrasporophytes are thick, coriaceous, flattened blades, linear to lobed in habit and arise from an extensive encrusting basal holdfast. Putative female gametophytes are microscopic multicellular discs. Palmaria hecatensis grows on rocky shores in the midintertidal to lower intertidal zones and has a known geographical distribution from Nootka Island, Vancouver Island, B.C., to Shemya Island in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska. Palmaria hecatensis is compared with other species in the genus and, in addition, another distinctive (and possibly undescribed) Palmaria species from British Columbia and Alaska is discussed, bringing the total number of Palmaria species reported in the North Pacific Ocean to six.

M. menu (Forbes), Submortoniceras chicoense (Trask), and Baculites cf. B. boulei Collignon are described from Santonian–Campanian strata of western Canada and northwestern United States. Stratigraphic occurrences and ranges of the species are summarized and those taxa important for correlation with other areas in the north Pacific region are noted.

To the Editor.— In the article by Hudson et al1 concerning mercury exposure of children of thermometor plant workers, they stated that "this is the first report demonstrating mercury exposure in children of mercury workers." On Sept 28, 1954, a case report of primary mercury poisoning in an infant was presented at a meeting of the North Pacific Pediatric Society, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Unfortunately, the case was never submitted for publication. The patient, a 20-month-old male infant, was referred because of fever, irritability, tremor, and refusal to walk.

Shearwaters, Puffinus spp., were studied off the west coast of Canada from 1975 to 1978. Sooty shearwaters, P. griseus, were the most abundant shearwaters off British Columbia in both May and September–October. Pink-footed shearwaters, P. creatopus, also occurred in both spring and fall. Flesh-footed shearwaters, P. carneipes, were found only in May. Buller's shearwaters, P. bulleri, were encountered in June and July during cruises across the Gulf of Alaska and in September and October off British Columbia. The recent increase of Buller's shearwater in the North Pacific is documented. A review of records of the short-tailed shearwater, P. tenuirostris, shows that it is usually rare and irregular off the coast of British Columbia. One black-vented shearwater, P. opisthomelas, was seen in the Gulf of Alaska. Sooty shearwaters occur off British Columbia in far lower numbers than off northern California, Oregon or Washington State. The manner in which sooty shearwaters migrate is described. The relationship between shearwater distributions and depths of water over the continental shelf are examined.
