the Survey almost wholly in Buzzards Bay, 
in 3 to 13 fathoms, on various sorts of bottom-

vey in the eastern part of Vineyard Sound, at 
Fish Hawk station 7777, in 5 y 2 fathoms, grow- 
ing on a shell fragment, and again off the 
eastern end of Naushon Island, in 11 fathoms, 
growing on a pebble. Taken in 1909 at two 
repeated stations (7660 and 7668) in the lower 
end of Buzzards Bay, 6 to 10 fathoms. 
The species has heretofore been known only 
from the type locality, Tristan da Cunha, in 
the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean, 
where it was dredged in 100 to 150 fathoms, 
off Nightingale Island. — Busk (Challenger
