6 FArXA OF NEW E^XTL-•VXD. 



the described area have been included, and as the Society has very 

 few of those found below 50 fathoms, I have been unable to verifj'- 

 a large number of the species recorded. The list contains 738 

 species and 71 varieties. Those marked T^dth an asterisk are in 

 the collection of the Society and additions to the Xew England 

 collection are especially desired. 



In the work of preparing this list the T^Titer is indebted to Francis 

 N. Balch, Esq., for the list of Xudibranchs, to Dr. Henrj^ B. Bigelow 

 fcr many of the records of the Pteropods, to Dr. V. Sterki for assist- 

 ance with the Sphaeridae, and to Messrs. William F. Clapp, Henry 

 W. Winkley, Owen Bryant, Olof O. Nylander, X. W. Lermond, 

 and others for specimens and records of distribution. The various 

 collecting trips made for the Society by Dr. Joseph A. Cushman 

 and the writer have not only added to our knowledge of distribu- 

 tion, but have also greatly enriched the collection.
