 Menestho alhula Moller (Fabricius, sp.), was recorded by Linsley (as 



jPyramis striatula Couth.) from the stomachs of ducli;s at Bridgeport, 

 Connecticut. It has not been found south of Cape Cod by any one 

 else, and as it is a rare deep-water shell on our northern coast, it is not 

 likely to have been obtained by ducks. It is found in Massachusetts 

 Bay, Casco Bay, Bay of Fundy, and northward to Greenland. Liusley's 

 shell may have been Odostomia Imprcssa.

 This has been found cast ashore at Nantucket, but probably does not 

 occur living so far north. It inhabits the Gulf Stream farther south.
