plain purplish brown, and others inhabiting deep pools with a heavy 
growth of Zostera were, in life, of a vivid green, with about four hori- 
zoutal stripes of lighter green, silvery patches shining through on the 
inferior stripes. As usual, two brown ocelli margined with a ring of 
red were placed one at a distance of its own diameter behind the mar- 
gin of opercular flap, the other as far below the dorsal fin and under 
its posterior half.. In the specimens examined the dorsal fin rays vary 
from V, XXVIII, 6 to V, XX XT, 9, the anal usually having twenty-four 
articulate rays, occasionally as few as twenty-three or as many as twenty- 
six, the anal spines always numbering two.

CATALOGUE OF MOLLUSCA AND ECHINODERMATA DREDGED ON 
THE COAST OF LABRADOR BY THE EXPEDITION UNDER THE 
DIRECTION OF VIR. W. A. STEARNS, EN I1SS2. 
By KATHARINE J. BUSH. 
The collection upon which the following catalogue is based was 
obtained by the expedition of 1882, under the direction of Mr. W. A. 
Stearns. Part of the specimens were sent to the Peabody Museum of 
Yale College by Messrs. B. S. Barrows and J. A. Allen, and the rest to 
the National Museum .\by Mr. Stearns. 
The dredging was done mostly by Mr. Stearns, Mr. B. 8, Batre 
and Mr. Edwin R. Flint; but Messrs. J. A. Allen and Charles L. Flint, 
jr., assisted in this work. 
The dredgings were made during the month of August, in shallow - 
water, at different points along the coast included between Forteau Bay 
and Dead ee The principal localities are L’anse au Loup, north 
latitude seas , west longitude 56° 48’; Henley Harbor, about north 
latitude 52 scm, west longitude 55° BI; Dead Island, near Square 
Island, north latitude 52° 48’, west loneinude 55° 48/, 
The nomenclature adopted is mostly the same as that of the Prelimi- 
nary Check-list of the Marine Invertebrata of the Atlantic Coast, and 
the Catalogue of Marine Mollusea by Prof. A. E. Verrill.* The names 
used in Binney’s edition of Gould’s Invertebrata of Massachusetts are 
added in parenthesis when different from those adopted. fi 
Tor such species as are not included in Gould’s report, references 
have been given to at least one work in which the species is described 
or figured. 
A list of the species found by Prof. A. 8S. Packard, jr.,t during the 
summer of 1864, but not obtained by the Stearns expedition, has been 
appended to the catalogues, both of mollusca and echinodermata, to 
make the faunal lists more complete.
