A. D. Mead ("Biological Notes," No. i) reports 

 the taking of a large number of young, measur- 

 ing from i to 10 mm. long, in tow at Wickford, 

 R. I., June 20, 1899. For a good description of 

 habits see Verrill and Smith, 1873, P- 35^~357- 



Family SEMELID^B. 



Cumingia tcllinoides Conrad. [Chart 152.]

Shells common in Vineyard Sound, particularly 

 in the eastern half; in the Bay, common at the 

 inshore stations; dredged in from 2 to 15 fath- 

 oms, chiefly at depths of 10 fathoms or less, on 

 quite various bottoms; living specimens rarely 

 taken at these depths. Survey. Found by 

 Osburn at the head of Lagoon Pond, living in 

 6 feet of water, and doubtless common in the 

 shallower waters generally. It is possible that 

 most of the shells scattered throughout Vine- 

 yard Sound have been carried thither by 

 currents.
