anywhere near the south coast of New England or the coast still 
further south, whether they properly belong to the fauna south of the 
Cape or are northern species which occur only in exposed situations, 
in deep water, or in winter ; but to distinguish these two classes of 
species, the northern ones are indicated by an asterisk (*). Under 
“ Massachusetts Bay,” two or three rare species taken off Cape Ann, 
but not as yet actually in the Bay, are included. Under “Nova 
Scotia,” only those species which have been observed on or near the 
southeast coast are included ; the species of the northern, or Gulf-of- 
St. Lawrence, coast being included in the eighth column, while a few 
species taken only in deep water (one hundred or moi*e fathoms) far 
off the Atlantic coast, are included in the seventh column. Under 
“ Gulf of Maine, etc.,” are included the species found in the Gulf of 
Maine proper (the great region of comparatively deep water, but 
with numerous banks and “ ledges,” between St. George’s Banks and 
the shallow waters of the coast from Cape Cod to Nova Scotia), and 
also the species found on St. George’s Banks, LeHave Bank, etc., and 
the deep waters outside of them. Under “ Gulf of St. Lawrence and 
Labrador,” are included the species found in the Gulf and on the east, 
or Atlantic, coast of Labrador, though in the present list all the spe- 
cies known from the east coast of Labrador have been found also in 
the Gulf. A few species which have been found in the shallow south- 
western part, including Northumberland Straits and the Bay of 
Chaleurs, and not in other parts of the Gulf, are indicated by a dag- 
ger (f). Under “ Bering Sea,” species known from any part of the 
North Pacific or from the Arctic Ocean immediately north of Bering 
Straits are included. The number of species common to this region 
and the North Atlantic will undoubtedly be very largely increased 
by subsequent investigation. 
In checking in the table the occurrence of the species, a mark of 
affirmation (!) is used, as in the previous pages, when I am myself 
responsible for the identification of the species; the plus sign (+), 
when the species has not been seen by me but has been recorded on 
good authority ; and by a mark of interrogation (?), when there is 
doubt in regard to the identification of the species. 
In the bathymetrical distribution, under “ Fathoms,” the depths 
within which the species have been found upon our coast only are
