North Carolina to Maine; sometimes thrown up on the beaches in 
immense quantities; lives in.shallow water. 
Cynthia pyriformis. Sea Peach; abundant in Bay of Fundy, in moder- 
ate depths. 
Boltenia Boltent. Sea Lemon. 
Cape Cod northward, with last above in Bay of Fundy. 
RADIATA. 
Brittle-stars (Ophiurans) are often found in fishes’ stomachs, and

deeper. 
Some species of common starfishes and sea-cucumbers might pos-
