margin. Length, 4.5'^"; breadth, 1.2o'""\ Vineyard Sound, 6 to 8 

 fathoms. 



MenestJio albula Moller (Fabricius, sp.), was recorded by Linslej' (as 

 JPyramis striatula Coath.) from the stomachs of ducks at Bridgeport, 

 Connecticut. It has not been found south of Cape God by any one 

 else, and as it is a rare deep-water shell on our northern coast, it is not 

 likely to have been obtained by ducks. It is found in Massachusetts 

 Bay, Oasco Bay, Bay of Fundy, and northward to Greenland. Linsley's 

 shell may have been Odostomia iyyipressa.

 This has been found cast ashore at Nantucket, but probably does not 

 occur living so far north. It inbabits the Gulf Stream farther south.
