yard and Buzzard's Bay, 20 to 25 fathoms, rare; Caseo Bay, 15 to 05 

 fathoms, DOt common ; Bay of Fiiudy, 10 to 100 fathoms, frequent.

Connecticut to Gulf of Saint Lawrence. Buzzard's Bay and Vineyard 

 Sound, 5 to 15 fathoms, not uncommon ; off Gay Head, 19 fathoms, soft 

 mud ; off Block Island, 29 fathoms, sandy mud ; common in Massa- 

 chusetts Bay, Casco Bay, and Bay of Fuudy, 3 to 60 fathoms, Halifax 

 (Willis). Gulf of Saint Lawrence, at Gaspe (Whiteaves). Gardiner's 

 Bay, Long Island (S. Smith). Stonington (Linsley). Off Xew London, 

 Connecticut (T. M. Prudden). Sandy Hook, New Jersey (Fergu- 

 son). Fossil in the Post-Pliocene at Montreal, Canada (Dawson). A 

 related species, C. cequilaterata Conrad (H. C. Lea, sp.) occurs in the 

 Miocene of Virginia. 



This species was undoubtedly confounded with C. decussata (Montagu, 

 sp.) by both Gould and Stimpson. The genuine decussata is quite com- 

 mon in Casco Bay, Bay of Fundy, and Gulf of Saint Lawrence, and is 

 usually associated in those waters with G. glandula. It is a northern, 

 and common European species, and is also recorded from the North 

 Pacific coast of America by Dr. P. P. Carpenter. It also occurs in 

 Greenland (Morch).
