associated. At Quahog Bay, Maine, this species occurs on the back of 
the dead shells of J. obsoleta, which are occupied by the hermit-erab, 
just as in the waters of Southern New England; and these, with numer- 
ous other southern forms associated with them, constitute a genuine 
southern colony, occupying a warm, sheltered bay, surrounded on all 
sides by the northern fauna. 
The depressed variety (glauca) is found chiefly on broad and nearly 
flat surfaces of large bivalve shells, stones, &c. The very convex varie- 
ties adhere mainly to the surfaces of small convex univalves.

Vineyard Sound to Florida and the northern shores of the Gulf of 
Mexico. Vineyard Sound, sparingly; Long Island Sound, near New 
Haven,rare. Stratford,Connecticut, on high sedge (Linsley). Hunting- 
ton, Long Island (S. Smith). Comparatively rare and local north of Mary- 
land; very abundant farther south. 
Many of the shells of this species found on our shores have undoubt- 
edly been brought from Virginia and Maryland with the southern oys- 
ters planted in our waters, but it is probably indigenous in certain 
localities.
