as the great number and variety of the species themselves. 
Crustacea, Mollusca, Annelids and Echinoderms were the most 
numerous. The very large quantity of specimens obtained 
on these three trips has, as yet, been only partially examined, 
but enough has already been done to prove this region to be 
altogether the richest and most remarkable dredging ground 
ever discovered on our coast.

Mo.tuiusca.—Of Mollusca, about 175 species were taken. Of 
these, 120 species were not before known to occur on the south- 
ern coast of New England; about 65 species are additions to 
the American fauna; of these about 30 species are, apparently, 
undescribed. The known species now added to our fauna have 
mostly been described by G. O. Sars, Jeffreys, and others , from 
the deep waters of the European coast and the Mediterranean.
