Cape Cod to South Carolina. Nofc unuonv.no.i in Vineyard Sound, 

 Buzzard's Bay, and Long Island Sound. This species was recorded as 

 from Casco Bay by Dr. Mighels, but as this habitat has not been con-

 tion. Fossil in the Post-Pliocene of Canada (Dawson).

Near Block Island, northward to the Arctic Ocean ; northern coasts 

 of Europe to Bergen ; and on the northwest coast of America, south to
