 bution refer only to occurrences on the New England coast, which is con- 

 sidered as including the mainland shore, with the neighboring islands, 

 ledges, banks, and shoals out to a depth of 50 fathoms. Only such species 

 therefore as have been reported from less than 50 fathoms are included.
