[655] INVEKTKBRATi: ANIMALS OF VINEYAK'h SOUND, ETC. .".li 1 



6 to 25 fathoms; Bay of Fundy, 4 to 20 fathoms. Fossil in the I 

 Pliocene of Canada. This species is usually brownish or chest nut-color, 

 but is also frequently white. 



Rissoa eburnea Stiinpson, has been recorded (as Ri88oella(. 9 ) churned) 

 by Dr. G. H. Perkins, from Long Island Sound, near New Haven, but 

 I have seen 110 undoubted shells of this species from any locality south 

 of Massachusetts Bay. The shell referred to by Dr. Perkins was beach - 

 worn, and may have been some other species. The figure given in the 

 second edition of Gould's Invertebrata (fig. 564, p. 297), does not rep- 

 resent this species. See the figure in Stimpson's Shells of New England, 

 Plate 1, figs. 1, la. This shell appears to be a Jeffrey sia. 



From Huntington, Long Island, I have seen a shell closely resembling 

 Rissoa latior Stimpsou, (M. and Adams, sp.), if not identical with it.

Long Island Sound to Greenland, Iceland, Spitzbergen, Scandinavia; 

 and northern and eastern coasts of Europe generally, to England and 

 France. Near New Haven, Connecticut, common ; Watch Hill, Rhode 

 Island ; Cuttyhunk Island. Yery common on all rocky shores in Massa- 

 chusetts Bay, Casco Bay, and Bay of Fundy. Fossil in the Post-Pliocene 

 of Scotland and Scandinavia. 



STYLIFER STIMPSONII Verrill. (p. 460.) 



American Journal of Science, vol. iii, pp. 210 and 283, 1872. 



Shell white, short, swollen, broad oval ; spire short, rapidly enlarging. 

 Whorls four or five, the last one forming a large part of the shell ; con- 

 vex, rounded, with the suture impressed, surface smooth, or with very 

 faint stria3 of growth ; a slightly impressed revolving line just below 

 the suture. Aperture large and broad. Length about .15 of an inch ; 

 breadth, .12. 



Parasitic on the dorsal surface of Strongylocentrotus Drobacliiensis, 

 from off New Jersey, in 35 fathoms (Captain Gedney); and Saint George's 

 Bank, north latitude 41 25', west longitude 65 50', 3", in 60 fathoms, 

 (S. I. Smith).
