Nov. 17. Mr Bendel reports seeing a flock of Lampronettas and also with them a lot of the black duck with the bright yellow bulb on the bill
He sent me several Harelda glacialis and the black duck with red toes & bill of which a head was sent before. 
Dec. 29 Found Cynthia pyriformis in the beach. Animal of Macoma
capitanea in shell much softened two long smooth scarlet siphons one shorter than the other which was about 1 1/2 in too far gone to tell if papillose. Harrington gets a cuttle like that before mentioned Argobuccinum beautiful pink or yellow inside.

Transcription Notes:
Bendel is correct. Argobuccinum is correct. Latin names have been checked. "Macoma capitanea" - definitely an animal called "macoma" and also others called "capitanea" in part of their name - just not the two together. Dall may have made a mistake when writing.
