Harmothoe imbricata Continued . 



Dr. Mead notes the capture of many females 

 with eggs in early April. Some eggs which 

 were removed from the body on April 12 

 were found capable of being artificially 

 fertilized. 



Eunoe oerstedi Malmgren. 



Crab Ledge, 17 fathoms, stones and gravel 

 (Fish Hawk station 7603*). 



Lepidonotus squamatus Leach. [Chart 56.] 



Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 581, 320, etc.; Mead, 



1898; Bumpus, 18983. 

 Almost universally distributed in Vineyard 



Sound; much less frequent in Buzzards 



Bay; recorded from Crab Ledge. Survey. 



Dredged in great numbers at depths of 2 to 



19 fathoms, on every sort of bottom, though 

 less common in mud. Collected from shores 

 and piles almost everywhere.

Egg laying observed during last two weeks of 

 April (Mead); first half of May (Bumpus); last 

 week in May and throughout June (Tread-

 artificially fertilized. Treadwell. 



Lepidonotus sublevis Verrill. 



Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 581, 320, etc. (sp. 

 nov.). 



Vineyard Sound. Verrill. Recorded from a 

 few points both in the Sound and the Bay; 

 dredged in 3 to 15 fathoms, on various bot- 

 toms. Survey. According to Dr. Moore this 

 species is much more common in Buzzards 

 Bay than in Vineyard Sound, though the 

 dredging records do not indicate this.

Bumpus records that "Sthenelais" (species not 

 stated) has been taken with ripe eggs during 

 the middle and latter part of August, and that 

 these are capable of being artificially fertilized.
