 Vineyard Sound(?); Buzzards Bay(?); Crab 

 Ledge(?). Survey. 



Owing to differences of opinion between our 

 authorities as to the identity of specimens 

 submitted to them, the Survey records for this 

 species must be entered as doubtful. Speci- 

 mens from the following stations were identi- 

 fied by Prof. Nutting as Thuiaria cupressina: 



7537- 75 8l 7 6 3> 7 6 5> 7 6 7- The same speci- 

 mens, from the first, third, and fourth of the 

 foregoing stations, were assigned by Prof. Har- 

 gitt to T. argentca, while the latter writer 

 doubtfully agrees with Prof. Nutting in the 

 case of the specimen from 7581, and likewise 

 identifies as T. cupressina a specimen from 

 station 7612.
