L'Anse au Loup, in 18 fathoms, and at Henley Harbour, in 3 to 8 fathoms, 

 by the Stearns Labrador expedition in 1882. The species has been collected 

 in the Pleistocene beds of Riviere du Loup, and in glacial deposits in Scotland. 

 Living examples of this shell, from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, have been 

 referred to Astyris Holbollii (=zFusus HolboUii, Beck, in Moller) on the 

 authority of Jeffreys, but Verrill thinks that A. rosacea is probably distinct 

 from A. Holbollii, and even if the two shells should prove to be identical, 

 the former is much the older name.

" This species occurred only once, but then in great numbers, at a haul of 

 the dredge on a sandy spot in 8 fathoms, about two miles north-east of 

 Cheney's Head," Grand Manan Island (Stimpson). Dall, however, says that 

 StimTpson's C. dissimilis is Si " rude purplish brown rather large northern 

 form of A. lunata," and that Linsley's Buccinum zonalis is " a form in which 

 the brown coloration of the original lunata coalesces to form two or more 

 dark bands with lighter interspaces."*
