 setts [first edition]. Boston, 1841. 



Certain tube-making species are recorded (pp. 7-11), with descrip- 

 tive notes. A few other species are mentioned by name (p. 343). 



List of Species. 



Pectinaria Belgica, p. 7, tig. 1. :=:[Pectinaria Gonldii V.] 



Amphitrite ventilabrum, p. 7. :=Sabella, several species, 



undeterminable. 

 Spirorhis nautiloides, p. 8, lig. 3. 



Spirorbis spirillum, p. 8. =Spirorbis borealis Daud. 



Spirorbis sinistrorsa, p. 9, fig. 4. = Spirorbis lucidus. 



Serpula vermicular is, p. 10. :=?Hydroides dianthus V. 



Aphrodita aculeata, p. 343. = Aphrodite aculeata L. 



Polynoe squamata, p. 343. =Lepidonotus squamatus. 



Nereis margaritacea, p. 343. =?Nereis pelagica. 



Phyllodoce viridis Johnst., p. 343. Undeterminable. 



Phyllodoce lamelligera Johnst., p. 343. Undeterminable. 



The last five are accompanied neither by descriptions nor by notes 

 on habits, and cannot be determined, except conjecturally, but there 

 can be little doubt as to the identity of the first tliree of these.

In this work, Dr. Stimpson published a list of the species collected 

 by him in the Bay of Fundy. His list, though exceedingly incom- 



* This common and very generally distributed species is, without much doubt, iden- 

 tical with the common shell-inhabiting species of northern Europe — the Phascolion 

 Strornhi Theel. This species has had a large number of specific names, under three 

 genera. It is the Strombi Mont., dentalii G-ray, bernhardus Forbes, granulatum Leuck., 

 capitaius Eathke, concharum (Erst., ccementarmm Quatr., harmdatum Packard. Per- 

 haps the Phaseolosoma tubicola, described by me, is only a variety of the same species.
