Gebia affinis Say. Smith, Inv. V. §., p. 549, 1874. 
This species was not collected at Provincetown, but was obtained from 
the flats at Wellfleet by Prof. H. E. Webster, in 1879, and seems to 
be abundant there. This is the first time it has been recorded from the 
north side of Cape Cod.

Only a very few specimens of this species were collected, although 
it was diligently sought for. These were found in the eel-grass in front 
of the town and off the dike.

front of the town.

Only a few specimens of small size were obtained from the eel-grass 
in various places. The scarcity of this species at Provincetown is prob- 
ably due to the absence of rocks and of much rock-weed, which together 
form its favorite grounds. A comparison of European with American 
specimens has enabled Professor Smith to establish the identity of G. 
ornatus and G. locusta.
