Vineyard Sound to Northern Florida. In Vineyard Sound and Buz 

 zard s Bay this species is common in 2 to 10 fathoms. Huntington 

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

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

 (Couper). 



Acrybia flava H. and A. Adams, = Naticaflava Gould, Invert., ed. i, p. 

 239, fig. 162; Bulbus flavus Gould, op. cit, ed. ii, p. 347, fig. 610. 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 by Linsley. It is an arctic species, found in 

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

 (Moller, as N. toana). 



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

 kins (Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist., vol. xiii, p. 162) as from &quot; Stonington, 

 Connecticut, Linsley.&quot; It d6es not occur in Mr. Liusley 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 6 to 109 fathoms ; and in Casco 

 Bay from 9 to 60 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 reported from Bermuda. 



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

 this as identical with the European C .tubercular is, and gives it a north 

 ern distribution. Both opinions appear to be incorrect.
