254 A. E. Verrill — 3Iollusca of the Neio Emjland Coast. 



usually light chestnut-brown, more or less lustrous, somewhat trans- 

 lucent, but it is sometimes tinged with greenish or grayish brown, 

 in color conforming to the sea-weeds on which it lives. 



Length of the largest specimens, about 3'"" ; breadth, 2™°' ; length 

 of body-whorl, about 2'"'"; of aperture, about 1""". 



Newport, R. I., at high water mark, among decayed sea-weed 

 1880; Huntington, L. I., between tides, (coll. Telkampff) ; near 

 Brooklyn (Lea.) 



This species, when found by me in 1880, was identified with A. 

 Grayana^ but the specimens obtained at that time were immature. 

 An examination of larger and more mature specimens, from Hunting- 

 ton, L. I., and a direct comparison with a series of specimens of 

 A.lGrai/ana, sent to me by the Rev. A. M. Norman, has convinced 

 me that, though closely related, they must be considered distinct 

 species, unless A. Grayana be more variable than is indicated by 

 European writers. Our species, when with the same number of 

 whorls, is less than half the size of A. Grayana, and it has, propor- 

 tionally, a much more slender form, with a more acute spire and 

 more minute nucleus. The aperture is much smaller and narrower 

 and the whole shell is much more delicate in form and texture. The 

 color is a. clearer chestnut-brown than any of the European specimens 

 which I have seen, though this is, perhaps, a character of no great 

 importance. In habits and in the situations in which it is found, it 

 agrees precisely with the European species, with which it also agrees 

 in' the structure of the soft parts, as shoAvn by the figure formerly 

 published by me.

Verrill, these Transactions, vol. v, p. 536. 



This species, not previously known on our coast south of the 

 Gulf of St. Lawrence, was taken in 1888 by the Albatross at stations 

 2043, 20:6, 2084, 2096, 2103, in 906 to 1467 fathoms, and at station 

 2115 off Cape Hatteras, in 843 fathoms.

Specimens of this species were taken by the Albatross considerably 

 exceeding in size those originally described by me. By Jetfreys 

 (Proc. Zool. Soc. London for 1883, p. 98) this species has been iden- 

 tified as Trochus Ottoi Philip])!,* which he also considers identical
