the material from among the Bogue Islands, represents the faunal 

 constituents of quiet, protected waters. 



All the dredgings are in water of 10 fathoms (18 meters) or less 

 and three of them in 1 fathom (2 meters) or less, so that they corre- 

 spond well with d'Orbigny's "shore sands." 



The material about Montego Bay collected by the writer was from 

 the following stations: 



1. In very shallow water, 2 feet deep at mean tide, in the area 

 covered by the short "eel grass," consisting of a sandy mud from a 

 quiet and protected area. 



2. In water 1 fathom (2 meters) deep in a protected cove of the 

 Bogue Islands, bottom of fine mud. 



3. In 3 fathoms (5 meters) on the inner side of the reefs in the 

 western part of Montego Bay, sandy. 



4. In 6 fathoms (11 meters) in a pocket of the reefs surrounded by 

 living coral. 



5. In 9 fathoms (16 meters) in muddy sand. 



6. In 10 fathoms (18 meters) in "coral sand" of the outer reef. 



The material from Runaway Bay was from about the base of cal- 

 careous algae collected by Mrs. G. L. Cheney and given me by Mr. 

 Charles W. Johnson, of the Boston Society of Natural History.

Specimens are rare at Montego Bay in 6 fathoms (11 meters) 

 and at Runaway Bay. There is nothing corresponding to this 

 species figured in d'Orbigny's work. 



It occurs in various parts of the West Indies and on the coast of 

 Florida, and extends westward to the Philippines and other tropical 

 regions of the Indo-Pacific.

Specimens are fairly common in the material occurring both at 

 Montego Bay, stations 2, 4, 5, 6, and at Runaway Bay. It is a
