Egg laying observed during last two weeks of 
April (Mead); first half of May (Bumpus); last 
week in May and throughout June (Tread-

artificially fertilized. — Treadwell. 
Lepidonotus sublevis Verrill. 
Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 581, 320, etc. (sp.

Vineyard Sound. — Verrill. Recorded from a 
few points both in the Sound and the Bay; 
dredged in 3 to 15 fathoms, on various bot- 
toms. — Survey. According to Dr. Moore this 
species is much more common in Buzzards 
Bay than in Vineyard Sound, though the 
dredging records do not indicate this.

Bumpus records that “Sthenelais” (species not 
stated) has been taken with ripe eggs during 
the middle and latter part of August, and that 
these are capable of being artificially fertilized.
