1S77. — '• During a part of the season the work" of the commission "was 

 transferred to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where large collections were made 

 and whence the dredging " (by the SS. Speedwell) " was extended to 

 the deep waters one hundred and twenty miles south of that city. On 

 the passage from Salem to Halifax, dredgings were made in the deep 

 waters of the Gulf of Maine and off the southern portion of the Nova 

 Scotia coast" (S. J. Smith, 1879). 



1883. — On the last day of August and first five days of September of this 

 year, the U. S. Fish Commission SS. Albatross dredged off Cape Sable, 

 Nova Scotia, at twenty different stations and at depths of from 49 to 

 1309 fathoms. 



Many of the species obtained in these and other dredgings or collec- 

 tions have been described or reported upon by Professor Verrill, Pro- 

 fessor S. I. Smith, or Mr. Oscar Harger, in papers contributed to the 

 Annual Reports of the United States Fish Commission, to the Proceed- 

 ings of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and 

 of the United States National Museum, to the Transactions of the 

 Connecticut Academy, or to the American Journal of Science. 



//. M. S. Challenger Expedition 



1873. — Dredged at three stations off the coast of Nova Scotia, but one of 

 these is so far from land as to be outside of the scope of this paper. 

 Descriptions or determinations of the species obtained at these stations 

 are scattered through the zoological reports of the expedition. 



Verkruzen, T, A. 



1876. — Visited Newfoundland and Nova Scotia in order to collect and study 

 MoUusca at each of these localities, and published four papers on the 

 specimens obtained. The first of these papers, entitled " Mollusca 

 dredged and collected by T. A. Verkruzen, in 1876, in the neighbour 

 hood of St. Johns, Newfoundland, including a few species obtained in 

 the Bay of Fundy," is a small pamphlet published at St. Johns, New 

 foundland, in 1877. The second, "Die Fauna von Neu Schottland 

 (Nova Scotia) "und Neufundland," was published in the Jahrbuch der 

 Deutschen Malacologischen Gesellschaft for 1878, and the third, " Die 

 Mollusken Neufundlands und der Neufundland Banke," in Der Sammler 

 (Berlin) for 1885, and the fourth, " Die Meeres Mollusken Neufund 

 lands," in the same journal for 1886.
