Eastern end of Long Island to the Arctic Ocean; on the 1101 llicrn 

 European coasts southward to England. Oft* Block Island, U!) fathoms, 

 sandy mud ; off Gay Head, Martha's Vineyard, 19 fathoms, soft mud ; 

 common in Oasco Bay, 10 to 80 fathoms 5 Bay of Fundy, G to 90 fa th- 

 orns ; Saint George's Bank, 45 fathoms; and Gulf of Saint Lawrence. 

 Montauk, Long Island (S. Smith). Fossil in the Post-Pliocene of Scan- 

 dinavia, Scotland, England, Sicily, and other parts of Europe. In 

 Xorth America it appears not to have been found fossil hitherto, and it 

 must, therefore, be rare in our northern Post- Pliocene or glacial de- 

 posits, if not altogether absent.

 Bay ? Vineyard Sound, and about Nan tucket. Dartmouth Lakes, Hal-

 (Coues). Fossil in the Post-Pliocene of South Carolina. 



Serripes Gronlandicus Beck (Aphrodite Gronlandica Stimpson ; Gould, 

 Invert., ed. ii, p. 144, fig. 454). This species was recorded as from Stoniug- 

 ton, Connecticut, by Linsley, but hasnot since been found south of Cape 

 Cod, and must, therefore, be regarded as a doubtful inhabitant of our 

 waters. It occurs from Massachusetts Bay to the Arctic Ocean, but is 

 rare south of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and Labrador. Casco Bay 

 and Mount Desert, Maine, 8 to 30 fathoms, rare, (A. E. V.).
