Anachis avara similis (Ravenel). 



Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 644 (Anachis similis)' 

 Ball, 1889, p. 116 (Anachis aiiara, var. similis). 



"Abundant in Vineyard Sound," according to 

 Verrill. Dr. Dall regards this form as being 

 merely a variety of A. avara. In the survey 

 records the two have not been distinguished. 



Astyris lunata (Say). [Chart 170.] 



Gould, 1870, p. 359 (Columbella lunata); Verrill 

 and Smith, 1873, p. 645, 306, etc.; Verrill, 

 i882d, p. 371; 1884; Dall, 1889, p. 118. 



Abundant and generally distributed throughout 

 Vineyard Sound; in Buzzards Bay chiefly re- 

 stricted to the inshore stations; dredged in i 

 to 19 fathoms, on every sort of bottom. Sur- 

 vey. This mollusk is equally abundant 

 among algae growing on piles or upon rocks 

 near shore.

Astyris rosacea (Gould).

 listed for this region); Verrill and Smith, 1873, 

 p. 645, 508, etc. 



"Muddy bottoms off the open coast." No defi- 

 nite local records given by Verrill, though this 

 region lies within the stated range of the
