Modiola polita was for the first time described from 

 the coast of New England, depth 436 metres. Later on 

 it was found by the "Blake" in the Mexican Gulf and in 

 the West Indies. Its bathymetrical range in the Western 

 Atlantic is according to Dall 203—1830 metres. In the 

 Eastern Atlantic Modiola polita was first met with in 

 1880 by the "Travailleur" in the Bay of Biscay, 677 to 

 1353 metres, where it was also found by the "Caudan" 

 in 80 — 1200 metres. The "Talisman" has taken it off 

 the west coast of North Africa, in depths between 540 

 and 930 metres. In the Mediterranean the "Travailleur" 

 dredged it off Spain in 322 metres, and Monterosato 

 found it near Palermo.

8 / 6> st. 53, lat. 34° 59' N., long. 33° 1' W., 2615— 

 2865 m, yellow, hard clayey mud. Three living speci- 

 mens and several empty valves. The largest living speci- 

 men measured: alt. 16.5 mm, lat. 14 mm, crass. 7 mm. 

 One of the empty shells had a height of 20 mm. and a 

 breadth of 15.5 mm. 



Limopsis aurita is one of the most widespread bi- 

 valves in the North Atlantic. On the American side it 

 occurs from New Jersey to the West-Indies, in the 

 Eastern Atlantic from the Faroes to west coast of North 

 Africa and the Azores. Further it has been observed in the 



x ) One valve damaged.
