Orphan bank in 1873. Sir J. W. Dawson has dredged fine living examples 

 of the same shell at Murray Bay and Metis. Miss Bush says that " two 

 good though dead, specimens were found at Henley Harbour in 8 fathoms, 

 and Dead Island, near Square Island, in 1 to 4 fathoms " by the Stearns 

 Labrador expedition in 1882. Dall, also, states that " one imperfect speci- 

 men " was found by L. M. Turner in 1883 "on the upland near FortChimo, 

 Ungava Bay," where it had doubtless been carried by the ravens as is their 

 wont." 



Sir J. W. Dawson states that a single small specimen of this shell has 

 been found in the Pleistocene deposits at Montreal.

Northern portion of the Gulf and mouth of the River St. Lawrence, at 

 depths of from about 10 to 50 or 60 fathoms ; also coast of Labrador 

 in from 3 to 10 fathoms. In the former region it has been dredged on 

 the Orphan Bank and in Gaspd Bay by the writer ; in Salmon Bay 

 (on the north shore of the Gulf, just inside of the Strait of Belle Isle) 

 by Packard ; off Little Metis, by Sir J. W. Dawson ; and Dr. Bell (who 

 referred his specimens to Buccinum Donovani) says that the species 

 occurs at "several localities" (on the Gaspe coast) "below St. Flavie." 

 On the Labrador coast, Miss Bush says that specimens were dredged in 

 Henley Harbour and Temple Bay, in 3 to 10 fathoms, by the Stearns expedi 

 tion ; and two immature and dead examples of this shell were collected on 

 the beach between Hamilton Inlet and Sandwich Bay, by Mr. Low in 

 1894. 



In a fossil state the species has been recorded by Sir J, W. Dawson as 

 occurring in the Pleistocene deposits of New Richmond and River Charles 

 N.B.; of Riviere du Loup, P.Q.; and Labrador.
