this species ranges in depth from 8 to 135 fathoms. 
Range.—Alaska to Coronado Island, California (Dall).

Length, 2 to 5 mm. 
Occurrence.—At stations D 5785 (3, 2), D5786* (31), D 5787 
(4), D 5788 (38, 1), D 5789 (2, 3), D 5830 A (4), and questionably at 
D 5744, D 5825 A, D 5826 B, D 5828 B. 
Living specimens are restricted to the collections from the open 
ocean, occurring abundantly at station D 5786 at a depth of 40 fath- 
oms. Several shells were obtained in the middle portion of the bay

lives on a fine-grained sand. 
Range.—Bering Sea, Alaska, to Coronado Island, California
