Common and of general distribution in Vineyard 

 Sound; taken at a few inshore stations on the 

 lower half of the eastern side of Buzzards Bay ; 

 dredged in from i to 13 fathoms, on bottoms of 

 sand, gravel, and stones, rarely in mud. Sur- 

 vey. Recorded also from various points dur- 

 ing the shore collecting. This species dwells 

 in tubes, though frequently leaving these; it 

 is found among weeds and hydroids, on piles 

 and elsewhere, as well as in deeper waters.
