neglecta Bean, ete. é 
Great Egg Harbor, New Jersey, northward to the Arctic Ocean ; 
Greenland ; Iceland ; Spitzbergen. Northern coasts of Europe to Great 
Britain and Spain. Local south of Long Island Sound; abundant on 
all the rocky shores of Southern New England, from New York to Cape 
Cod, and at the eastern end of Long Island; local at Great Egg Har- 
bor. among Fucus, on the stones of an old pier. Extremely abundant 
on all the northern shores of New England and northward. Fossil in 
the Post-Pliocene of Canada, Great Britain, and Scandinavia.

Great Egg Harbor, New Jersey, to the Arctic Ocean; Greenland, 
Spitzbergen, Finmark, and Norway. Very abundant from New York 
to Cape Cod and northward, wherever Fuci grow on rocks between 
tides ; local and less abundant south of Long Island Sound. 
Fossil in the Post-Pliocene of Great Britain and Scandinavia. 
Should this species prove to be identical with D. obtusata (Linné, sp.) of 
Europe, as there is reason to anticipate, its range will be nearly coinci- 
dent with that of DL. rudis, with which it is always found associated on 
our coast. Several writers have already united the two forms, but no 
satisfactory comparisons of large series of specimens, from many local- 
ities on both coasts, have been made.
