 Spirorbis nautiloides, Verrill ; non Lamarck. 



"Massachusetts Bay to Nova Scotia, common in 10 to 80 fathoms, on 

 shells and stones" (Verrill). If the specimens that Dr Stimpson identified 

 with S. nautiloides, Lamarck, are S. Stimpsoni, then this latter species has 

 been found in the Bay of Fundy. Sir J. W. Dawson regards S. Stimpsoni 

 as synonymous with S. glomerata, (Midler) which latter, he says, has been 

 found fossil in the Pleistocene deposits at Gaspd, Riviere du Loup, Little 

 Metis and Labrador.
