Abundant and generally distributed throughout 
the greater part of Vineyard Sound and Buz- 
zards Bay, though scarce or lacking over a 
considerable area at the outer end of the Sound ; 
dredged in 2 to 19 fathoms, on all sorts of bot- 
toms. — Survey. Likewise frequent on piles 
of Bureau of Fisheries pier in Woods Hole 
Harbor, and doubtless in similar places else- 
where.

Family Orbicellid/E. 
? Orbicella acropora (Linnseus). a 
Four large water- worn pieces, which have been re- 
ferred to this species by Dr. Hargitt, were found 
along the beach north of Nobska Point, at con- 
siderable distances from one another. It is 
quite unlikely that this coral lives in these 
waters, but the record is worth entering. It 
may have been used as ballast by some vessel.
