in ! 874.- -"Brief Contributions to Zoology from the Museum of 

 Yale College; No. xxxiii; Results of Dredging Expeditions off the 

 New England coast in 1874. — By A. E. Verrill. — Amer. Journ. of

In this article is given a brief summary of the results of the 

 operations in connection with the United States Fish Commission, 

 located during the summer of 1874 at Noank, Connecticut, on 

 Fisher's Island Sound, and close to the eastern end of Long Island 

 Sound. More than 180 dredgings were made and recorded by the 

 naturalists attached to the Commission, besides numerous inde- 

 pendent and private ones. Lists of those species of Arachnida, 

 Crustacea, A?ifielida, Bdellodea, Gephyjea, Turbellaria, Gastropoda, 

 Lamellibranchiata, Tunicata, Bryozoa, Echi?iodermata, Acalephce, 

 and Anthrozoa, which are now recorded for the first time from the 

 Southern coast of New England are given. More complete lists of 

 the marine fauna of the coast have been given by the author in the 

 "Report on the Marine Invertebrata of Southern New England;" 

 forming the appendix of the ist. report of the U. S. Commissioner 

 of Fish and Fisheries, 1874; and also published in a separate form. 

 The following are the lists of Gastropoda, Lamellibranchiata and 

 Tunicata, the few species marked (*) not being new to the fauna,
