Cape Cod to South Carolina. Quite common in Vineyard Sound and 
Buzzard’s Bay, in 3 to 10 fathoms; Long Island Sound, off Thimble 
Islands and New Haven, 3 to 5 fathoms, rather rare. Huntington 
and Greenport (S. Smith). Dartmouth, Massachusetts (Adams). New- 
port, Rhode Island (Totten). Fort Macon, North Carolina (Coues). 
I have received from Prof. E. 8. Morse specimens of this shell ob- 
tained from mud in the harbor of Portland, Maine, but they are dead 
and bleached. I am not aware that it has been found living so far 
north on our coast. Fossil in the Post-Pliocene of South Carolina. 
Lovén records this species as from the coast of Norway, but possibly 
his shell is a different species, or else a variety of 7. rufa of Southern 
Europe, which is certainly very closely related to our species, and is con- 
sidered the same by Jeffreys. If so, the name given by Totten has prece- 
dence of rufa (Philippi, 1836). Farther and more extensive compari- 
sons must be made before the identity of the two forms can be estab- 
lished. 
The figure given in the first edition of Gould’s Invertebrata, and copied 
in the second edition, does not correctly represent this shell, and was, 
perhaps, drawn from some other species, for it does not agree with 
Gould’s description, which is accurate. The spire, as represented, is too 
acute and too rapidly tapered; the last or body whorl is too large; the 
aperture has not the right form; and the peculiar sculpture is not 
brought out at all. Totten’s figure, though somewhat coarse, is char- 
acteristic. 
TURBONILLA ELEGANS Verrill. Plate XXIV, fig. 155. (p. 418.) 
American Journal of Science, ser. iii, vol. iii, pp. 210, 282, Plate 6, fig. 4, 1S72. 
Shell light yellowish, elongated, moderately slender, acute. Whorls 
ten or more, well rounded, not distinctly flattened; suture rather 
deeply impressed; surface somewhat lustrous, with numerous rounded 
vertical costw, narrower than the concave interspaces, fading out 
below the middle of the last whorl; and with numerous fine revoly-
