Spisula solidissima similis Say, Macoma 
Baltica Linu., Petricola pholadiformis Lan., 
Scapharca transversa (Say) H. and A. Ad., 
Mya arenaria Linn., odd valves of Pholas 
truncata Say, Crepidula fornicata Lam., 
Crepidula plana Say, Crepidula convexa 
Say, and occasional dead shells of Lunatia 
heros (Say) H. and A. Ad. 
At EltingviJle, at low water, Littorina 
litiorea Linn. was found on stones. At Tot- 
tenville, Littorina rudis (Maton) Gould, 
and Scalaria lineata Say, in salt grass, 
and Ilyanessa obsoleta (Say) Stimps., in 
the mud at low water. At Kreischerville, 
on a muidy shore, I once found about 
fifty specimens of Haminea solitaria (Say) 
Verr., but never saw them on any other 
occasion. In the Drift, at South Amboy, 
Tottenia Munhatiensis (Prime) Verr. were 
found in profusion and a few specimens 
of Uiriculus. 
In dredging, as previously mentioned, 
I feund Yoldia limatula (Say) Stimps. in 
abundance; also Callista convewa (Say) 
H. and A. Ad., Venus mercenaria Linn., 
Mulinia lateralis (Say) Gray, Lyonsia 
hyalina Conr., Clidophora trilineata (Say) 
Carp., Sycotypus canaliculatus (Linn.) 
Gill., Urosalpina cinereus (Say) Stimps., 
Eupleura caudata (Say) H. and A. Ad., 
and one odd valve of Tagelus divisus 
Spreng. Numbers of Nucula prowima Say 
were found at the mouth of the Shrews- 
bury River, near the government dock, 
at Sandy Hook, and in Arthur Kill, at 
Tottenville, five specimens of Scalaria 
lineata Say. 
Note.—In Sanderson Smith’s ‘‘Cata- 
logue of the Mollusca of Staten Island”’ 
(Proc. Nat Sci. Assn. S. I., Extra No. 5, 
Mch, 1887) of the above recorded species 
the following are mentioned as rare: 
Pholas truncata, Lunatia heros, Scalaria 
lineata, Haminea. solitaria and Urosalpinx 
cinerea, while the following are not men- 
tioned at all: Macoma Baltica Linn., 
Tagelus divisus Speng., Tottenia Manhat- 
tensis (Prime) Verr. and Utriculus, sp? 
(U. canaliculatus (Say) Stimps?), although 
these last two, having been found in New 
Jersey only, may fairly be excluded from 
the Staten Island list.
