686 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 



Fossil ((r. lumdata) in the Post-Pliocene of North and South Carolina ; 

 in the Pliocene of South Carolina ; and in the Miocene of Maryland and 

 Virginia. The fossil shell is probal^y identical with the recent one, but 

 I have not had suitable specimens of the former for comparison; if 

 identical, the species should be called G. lumdata,

Fossil in the Post-Pliocene of Gardiner's Island (S. Smith). L. con- 

 tracta occurs in the Miocene of Virginia; it was formerly regarded by 

 Conrad as identical with the recent shell from ]ihode Island, but is 

 probably a distinct, though closely-allied species. Mr. Jeffreys identi- 

 fied this species with L. horealis (Lmud) of Europe; the latter is also 

 found on the Pacific coast at Vancouver Island and Catalina Island 

 (Cooper and P. P. Carpenter).
