PART III.— CATALOGUE OP MOLLUSCA RECENTLY ADDED TO THE 

 FAUNA OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. 



By A. E. V£RRIL.L. 



The following lists include 130 species of Mollusca that have recently 

 been added to the fauna of Southern New England, mainly through the 

 researches of the dredging party of the United States Fish Commission 

 on the steamer " Fish Hawk". The greater portion of these, with several 

 others undetermined or not yet described, were taken on September 4 

 and 13 and October 2, on the outer bank or slope, 70 to 115 miles south 

 from Martha's Vineyard and Newport, R. I., in Co to 500 fathoms. For 

 a list of these localities see p. . 



In these lists those species which were unrecorded from or entirely 

 new to New England or to the northeastern coast of America are indicated 

 by an asterisk ; previously' undescribed species by two asterisks ; those 

 known previously from our northern coasts have N prefixed ; those from 

 the middle parts of the coast have m, and are neither specially southern 

 nor northern ; those oceanic species belonging to the surface fauna have 

 o prefixed; southern forms are designated by s; those that are also 

 known from Europe are designated by e ; those peculiar to America 

 by A. 



In the tables, living specimens are indicated by an asterisk; dead ones 

 by a dagger; m signifies many; sv, several; r, rare; I, unusually large; 

 j, young.
