in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. 351 



Enlima stenostoma^ Jeffreys. A single living adult was taken 

 from 160 fathoms, to the south-west of Ellis Bay, Anticosti. 

 New to America. 



Astyris HolboUii, MoW. [= ColumheUa rosacea, Gld.). Tri- 

 nity Bay, 96 fathoms, also other localities. Ranges from 20 

 to 100 fathoms. 



Buccinum ciliatxim^ O. Fabr. Alive, in 112 fathoms, off" 

 Charleton Point, Anticosti. 



Buccinum cyaneuml, Brug. From 250 fathoms, mud, be- 

 tween the east point of Anticosti and the Bird-rocks. 



8ipho islandicus, Chemn. Only one living example of this 

 mollusk was collected, from 112 fathoms, off" Charleton 

 Point, Anticosti. 



Bi'plio Sarsii, Jeffreys. With the above, but much more fre- 

 quent; also off" Egg Island, in 70 to 80 fathoms. The 

 epidermis is very different in these two species; but it is diffi- 

 cult to separate them when the specimens are water-worn. 



Trojyhon craticulatus, O. Fabr. Off" Cap-Rosier lighthouse, in 

 38 fathoms, stones, fine and living ; also near the mouth of 

 the St. John's River, Mingan, in 50 fathoms, sand, but dead. 



Fasciolaria ligata, Mighels. Two living examples were taken 

 in Gaspe Bay, near Cape Gaspe, on a stony bottom, in 

 20 or 30 fathoms. 



Twenty-five species of shells not previously known to in- 

 habit the seas of the Province of Quebec were collected dm"ing 

 the two cruises ; of these, twelve are new to the American 

 side of the Atlantic. 



Fishes. 

 The only fishes brought up in the dredge were a young 

 specimen of each of the following species : — 



Sehastes norvegicus. The Norway haddock. 96 fathoms, 

 Trinity Bay. 



Anarrhichas lupus. The wolf fish. 112 fathoms, off" Charle- 

 ton Point, Anticosti. 



Agonus hexagonus ?, Schneid. With the preceding. 



It is estimated that, when the whole of the material collected 

 has been examined with care and all the specimens are de- 

 termined, upwards of 100 species of marine invertebrates new 

 to the Gulf of the St. Lawrence can be added to its previously 

 recorded fauna. Of these, from 30 to 40 species are new to 

 the western side of the Atlantic, and a few are undescribed. 

 When it is considered that only five weeks were spent at sea, 

 that during this time the ordinary duties upon which the 

 schooners were engaged (and sometimes unfavourable weather)
