660 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 



margin. Length, 4.5 mm ; breadth, 1.25 mm . Vineyard Sound, 6 to 8 

 fathoms. 



Menestho albula Moller (Fabricius, sp.), was recorded by Linsley (as 

 jPyramis striatula Couth.) from the stomachs of ducks at Bridgeport, 

 Connecticut. It has not been fou.nd south of Cape Cod 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, Casco Bay, Bay of Fundy, and northward to Greenland. Linsley's 

 shell may have been Odostomia impressa.

Cape Cod to the Arctic Ocean, and northern coasts of Europe, south- 

 ward to Bergen. South Shoals, off Nantucket (Agassiz, t. Stimpson). 

 Common in Casco Bay and Bay of Fundy, from 10 to 109 fathoms. 

 Fossil in the Post-Plicoene of Nantucket, rare, (Desor) ; and in the 

 Red-Crag, Xorwich-Crag, and later deposits in Great Britain. 



Janthina fragilis Lamarck ; Gould, Invert., ed. i, p. 240; ed. ii, p. 277. 

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

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