A. E. Verrill — Mollusca of the Nexo England Coast. 



preceding volume (v) of tliese Transactions. As it is always impor- 

 tant, in giving the bathymetrical distribution of shells, to distinguish 

 between those taken alive and those of which only dead shells are 

 obtained (which may have been carried by fishes and various other 

 agencies far from their true habitats), an asterisk (*) is added to 

 designate living specimens ; while a dagger (f ) indicates dead shells. 

 When no sign is added, it is to be understood that the specimens 

 were living. 



In the preparation of the following list I have been greatly aided 

 by my assistant, Miss K. J. Bush, who has been engaged for several 

 years in cataloguing and tabulating the shells collected by the Fish 

 Commission.
