Vineyard Sound to Northern Florida. In Vineyard Sound and Buz- 

 zard's Bay this species is common in 2 to 10 fathoms. IIuntin}j:ton 

 and Gardiner's Bay, Long- Island, 4 to 5 fathoms, (S. Smith). South 

 Carolina (Kurtz). Fort Macon, North Carolina (Coues). Georgia 

 (Couper). 



Acryhia flava H. and A. Adams, = Naticajlava Gould, Invert., ed. i, p. 

 239, fig. 102 ; Bidhm Jtaviiti Gould, op. cit., ed. ii, p. 347, tig. G16. This 

 species was catalogued by Linsley (1845) as from the stomachs of had- 

 dock taken off Stonington, Connecticut. It has not been subsequently 

 recorded from south of Cape Cod by any one. It is not improbable that 

 there was some mistake, either in respect to the locality or the identity 

 of the specimens referred to b^'^ Linsley. It is an arctic species, found in 

 the Bay of Fundy and at Saint George's Bank ; northward to Greenland 

 (Moller, as^. nana). 



Watica clausa Brod. and Sowerby, was erroneously given by Mr. Per- 

 kins (Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist., vol. xiii,p. 102) as from " Stonington, 

 Connecticut, Linsley." It does not occur in Mr. Linsley's list, nor has 

 it been found living, to my knowledge, south of Cape Cod. It occurs 

 in Massachusetts Bay and northward to the Arctic Ocean. It is not 

 uncommon in the Bay of Fundy from to 109 fathoms ; and in Casco 

 Bay from 9 to 00 fathoms. One small dead specimen was dredged by 

 us in 19 fathoms, off Gay Head.

Massachusetts Bay to South.Carolina. Vineyard Sound and Buzzard's 

 Bay, 3 to 10 fathoms ; Long Island Sound, near New Haven. Dartmouth 

 Harbor (Adams) ; Boston Harbor (Stimpson) ; Long Island (S.Smith); 

 Fort Macon, North Carolina (Coues). Also rei)orted from Bermuda. 



Jeffreys (in Annals and Mag. Nat. Hist., Oct., 1872, p. 244) regards 

 this as identical with the European G. tubercular la, and gives it a north- 

 ern distribution. Both opinions appear to be incorrect.
