 Smith, 1873, p. 692, 309, etc. (Argina pexata). 



Buzzards Bay, chiefly in the shallower parts; 

 shells taken at a few stations in the Sound. 

 Survey. Dredged at 2 to 25 fathoms, though 

 rarely at depths greater than 6 fathoms; living 

 specimens appear to be restricted to shallow 

 waters, especially where the bottom is more or 

 less muddy.

Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound in about 

 equal abundance. Living specimens dredged 

 by the Survey in i to 17 fathoms, for the most 

 part on bottoms of sand or mud, or mixtures 

 of the two.
