H. and A. Adams, Genera, p. 240, 1858 ; Gould, Invert., cd. ii, p. 387, fig. 649 

 Cerithium Emersonii C. B. Adams, op. cit., p. 284, Plate 4, fig. 10, 1838 j Gould,

Cape Cod to South Carolina. Vineyard Sound and Buzzard s Bay, 3 

 to 10 fathoms, shelly. Nantucket (Adams) ; Huntington and Greenport, 

 Long Island (S. Smith). Fossil in the Miocene of North Carolina,

 species as identical with Cerithium metula Loven, 1846, on the authority 

 of Danielssen. This appears to be an erroneous identification.
