A perfect living specimen of this species was taken at station 
870, in 155 fathoms, and a dead one at 949, in 100 fathoms. It had 
not been found before on the American coast. Our specimen differs 
somewhat from the figures of the European shell, especially in being 
stouter, and broader anteriorly.

This shell has been dredged by us in several localities, in deep 
water off the coast of New England and Nova Scotia, and by Mr. 
Whiteaves in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. It was taken at stations

Specimens agreeing in all respects with Sars’s figures, referred to

fathoms, off Martha’s Vineyard, 1880; station 947, in 312 fathoms,
