margin. Length, 4.5 lnm ; breadth, 1.25 mm . Vineyard Sound, G to 8 

 fathoms. 



Menestlio albula Moller (Fabricius, sp.), was recorded by Linsley (as 

 Pyramis striatula Couth.) from the stomachs of ducks at Bridgeport, 

 Connecticut. It has not been found south of Cape Cod by any one 

 else, and as it is a rare deep-water shell on our northern coast, it is not 

 likely to have been obtained by ducks. It is found in Massachusetts 

 Bay, Casco Bay, Bay of Fuudy, and northward to Greenland. Linsley s 

 shell may have been Odostomia impressa.

 Common in Casco Bay and Bay of Fuudy, from 10 to 109 fathoms. 

 Fossil in the Post-Plicoeue of Nantucket, rare, (Desor) ; and in the

Janthina fragilis Lamarck ; Gould, Invert., ed. i, p. 240; ed. ii, p. 277. 

 This has been found cast ashore at Nantucket, but probably does not 

 occur living so far north. It inhabits the Gulf Stream farther south.
