A. E. Verrill— Mollusca of the New England Coast. 233 
It has been taken off the European coast by the Porcupine and 
Valorous Expeditions, in 1450 to 1750 fathoms; and by the Norwe- 
gian Arctic Expedition, in 656 to 1553 fathoms.

One valve, which has been identified as this species by Mr. Dall, 
occurred off Martha’s Vineyard, at station 949, in 100 fathoms, 1881 
(No. 38,179). No other similar specimen has been taken by us. 
Avicula squamulosa? Lam. 
A small Aviewla, taken alive at the surface at station 2099 (No. 
34,781), is referred to this species with some doubt. The shell is 
rather broad and rounded for the genus, and but little oblique. The 
tail (cauda) is almost obsolete, forming only a slightly prominent 
angle, shorter than the body of the shell, and separated from it only 
by a slight emargination. The anterior auricle is small and rounded. 
The byssal notch is narrow and moderately deep. The body of the 
shell is ornamented with from twelve to fourteen radiating rows of long, 
narrow and slender scales, which are transversely banded with purple 
and white. The lines of growth are slightly lamellose toward the 
margin and the whole surface appears under a lens to be minutely 
punctate. The color is light yellow, becoming white on the umbos, 
and irregularly and concentrically streaked with reddish brown. 
The lower valve is concave toward the margin, but has scales and 
coloration similar to the upper valve. 
Total length, 15"; length of hinge line, 12"; height from the 
b 
ventral to dorsal margin, 11™™. 
BRACHIOPODA. 
Discina Atlantica King.

1878, p. 415, pl. 23, fig. 7. 
Several specimens of this species were taken by the Albatross in 
1883. I have identified these with specimens in Mr. Jeffreys’ collec- 
tion, now in the U. 8. National Museum. 
Station 2043, in 1467 fathoms, two specimens (No. 38,429); station 
2096, in 1251 fathoms, ten specimens (No. 35,170).
