Oysters are raised in Wareham River, and in Wa- 

 quoit Bay andCotuit Bay on Cape Cod. Adult 

 specimens have been found in Hadley Harbor 

 (Edwards) and the young are occasionally met 

 with in the vicinity of Woods Hole. Shells 

 were dredged by the Survey in from 2 to 19 

 fathoms, being particularly common in the 

 western end of Vineyard Sound, where they 

 had probably been thrown overboard from 

 passing vessels. Living specimens recorded 

 from only two stations : once near the shore of 

 Pasque Island (Bay side); again in Wareham 

 River.

Family ANOMIID^. 



Anomia simplex d'Orbigny. Jingle shell, gold 



shell, silver shell. [Chart 123.] 

 Gould, 1870, p. 204 (Anomia ephippium), p. 205 

 (-4. electrica); Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 696,

 Distribution general throughout the region; 



almost equally abundant in the Bay and Sound. 

 Shells dredged by the Survey in i to 25 fath- 

 oms, on bottoms of all kinds; living specimens 

 taken in 2 to 9 fathoms, though comparatively 

 seldom at these depths. Especially abundant 

 near low- water mark, adhering to stones or to 

 other shells.
