Common and of general distribution in Buz- 

 zards Bay; in Vineyard Sound taken only at 

 Tarpaulin Cove and Menemsha Bight; dredged 

 at depths of from 2 to 12 fathoms, on bottoms 

 of mud and muddy sand. Survey. Also re-

 tion of this species is extremely interesting in 

 comparison with that of A. spinipes. Listed 

 for Newport by Rathbun.
