others. Packard records its occurrence at Caribou Island, and states that he 

 was informed that it was found at Hamilton Inlet (Labrador). It is said to 

 occur as far to the southward as South Carolina, where it is "apparently 

 rare."

" On our coast " this species " ranges, so far as now known, from Long 

 Island Sound to the Gulf of St. Lawrence (Whiteaves), though its occurrence 

 south of Cape Cod is exceptional. In the Bay of Fundy it is not uncommon 

 under stones at low-water mirk, and it extends down to 430 fathoms. It 

 is sometimes found clinging to actinias ; at Eastport, Maine, seventeen 

 specimens were taken from Bunodes stella, growing on the rocks near low- 

 water mark ; and ofif Cape Sable, IST.S., they were found in considerable 

 numbers attached to the base of Bolocera Tuedim " (Dr. E. B. Wilson).* In 

 the Gulf of St. Lawrence seven specimens of P. littorale were dredged by the 

 writer, in 1871, off East Cape, Anticosti, bearing S. by W., twenty-four 

 miles distant, in 212 fathoms, mud.
