Scaphopods of the Atlantis drcdgings in ihc Western Atlantic 31 | 



Dentalium (Dentalium) carduum Dull 

 Dentalium cardims Dall 1889, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool. 18, p. 423, pi. 27. fig. 3; HFNUtRsoN 1920. 

 Bull. U.S. Nat. Mus. No. 1 1 1, p. 33, pi. 3, figs. 4, 5, 7. 



Notes. Five lots of this rare species were taken by the Atlantis, and these are the 

 first recorded for Cuba and Florida. The species is probably widespread throughout 

 the West Indies for, though only eleven lots are known, they arc distributed from the 

 Little Bahama Bank, south to Cuba, St. Thomas, Grenada and Barbados. One 

 large specimen taken by the Atlantis measured 10 mm in greatest diameter, and if 

 complete would probably have measured some 95 mm in length, or some 8 mm 

 greater than the largest recorded specimen. 



Records. FLORIDA: Atlantis, station 2951, about 55 miles off Fort Lauderdale (N. Lat. 26 

 08'; W. Long. 79° 02') in 155 fathoms. CUBA: Atlantis, station 2982A (N. Lat. 22 48'; W. Long. 

 78° 50') in 210 fathoms; Atlantis, station 2981D (N. Lat. 22° 48'; W. Long. 78" 51) in 190-230 

 fathoms; Atlantis, station 2982E (N. Lat. 22° 45'; W. Long. 78 45) in 150-180 fathoms; Atlantis, 

 station 2980A (N. Lat. 22° 48'; W. Long. 78° 41') in 220-260 fathoms. All the above are from off 

 Punta Alegre, Camagiiey, Cuba. 



Dentalium (Antalis) entaie stimpsoni Henderson 



Dentalium striolatum Stimpson 1851, Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist. 4, p. 114 (non D. striolatum 

 Risso 1826). 



Dentalium entaie stimpsoni Henderson 1920, Bull. U.S. Nat. Mus. No. Ill, p. 35 (new name for 

 striolatum Stimpson, non Risso 1826). 



Notes. Only one lot of this rather common northern species was obtained by the 

 Atlantis. Though there are many lots in the collection of the Museum of Compara- 

 tive Zoology they do not extend the range beyond that given by Henderson. 



Records. Atlantis, station 2661, off Nova Scotia (N. Lat. 43° 40'; W. Long. 67' 49') in 126 fathoms. 



Dentalium (Antalis) antillarum d'Orbigny 



Dentalium antillarum d'Orbigny (in) Sagra, Histoire Tile de Cuba, Mollusques, Atlas pi. 25, 

 figs. 10-13; ibid. 1847, text 2, p. 202; Henderson 1920, Bull. U.S. Nat. Mus. No. 1 1 1, p. 44. pi. 5. 

 figs. 1-4, 6-8 



Notes. Though this more shallow water species was not collected by the Atlantis. 

 several lots in the Museum collection are from localities not previously reported and 

 so seem worthy of note here. These were collected largely by William J. Clench. 



Records. BAHAMA ISLANDS: Simms, Long Island; Arthurs Town, Cat Island; Little San 

 Salvadore, 18 miles W. of Cat Island. HISPANIOLA: Cape Haitien, Haiti; Monte Cristi. Santo 

 Domingo. PUERTO RICO: Loiza Vieja. LESSER ANTILLES: Guadeloupe. 



Dentalium (.\ntalis) disparile d'Orbigny 



Dentalium disparile d'Orbigny 1842, (in) Sagra, Histoire I'lle de Cuba, Mollusques, Atlas pi. 25. 

 figs. 14-17; ibid. 1847, text 2, p. 202; Henderson 1920, Bull. U.S.Nat. Mus. No. 1 1 1. p. 47. pi. 6. 

 figs. 4-8. 



Notes. Henderson records only eleven lots for this species and, though it was not 

 taken by the Atlantis, two new records are noted. 



Records. TRINIDAD: Gaspari. BRASIL: Maranhao.
