United States—In Massachusetts the fasciate variety was recorded im 1851 by 
Mr. Amos Binney as not uncommon on Salt Island, where it was quite unknown 
in 1837, the unicolorous form, H. swbglobosa, being the only form of the species 
living thereon at that time. Dr. Gould in the same year recorded it as inhabiting 
House Island and Outer Gooseberry Island, each islet possessing a different scheme 
of banding. Fasciate forms are also reported from Gloucester and Kettle Island 
by Mr. H. Prime. Dr. Pilsbry cites the four and five-banded forms from Seiasconset, 
Nantucket Island; Mr. G. H. Clapp has found the formule 12345, 123(45), (123)(45), 
10345, 12045, ete., at Rockport, but the bands were mostly only faintly indicated ; 
and Prof. Cockerell records the tive-banded and other varieties from Magnolia. 
In Maine Dr. J. W. Mighels in 1843 reported qadnquevittata and other banded 
forms being found by Capt. Walden on one of the little islands in Casco Bay. 
On Brown Cow Island Dr. Packard found that banded shells constituted about 
a tenth of the total number. 
On Seal Rock, one of the Matinicus group, Mr. Bryant found only the five- 
banded form; and from Cape Porpoise, Kennebunkport, Mr. Clapp reports (12345).
