south shore of Naushon.”

Phascolion strombi Montagu. [Chart 83.]

losoma caementarium . ) 
Vineyard Sound. — Verrill. Dredged by the 
Survey at a considerable number of (chiefly 
inshore) stations in Buzzards Bay; a few 
times in deeper waters of Vineyard Sound; 
taken in 3 to 13 fathoms, for the most part on 
bottoms of sand or sandy mud. This species 
is most commonly found in the shells of gas- 
tropods, which the worm plugs up with a sort 
of cement. 
Fish Hawk stations: 7688 (1)*, 7699 (1)*, 7702 
(several in Tritia)*. One specimen each 
recorded from 1907 stations which coincided 
approximately with the original stations 7652*, 
7671*, and 7739*. 
Phalarope stations: 78 (several)f, 856, 86 (i)&, 
93 (3)t> 94 & > 98 s , 109&, 119&, 120&, 123&, 125&,

« Specimens from points designated by an asterisk (*) weri 
nated by a dagger (t) were identified by Prof. J. H. Gerould.

Phascolosoma gouldii Diesing. 
Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 627, 353, etc.; 
Gerould, 1904, p. i-xii; Gerould, 1906, p. 77. 
Woods Hole, Newport. — Gerould. Reported 
from Uncatena Gutter (McMurrich); and 
Vineyard Haven, near the bridge (Osbum). 
Littorally, this is a common species and its 
distribution is quite general along muddy 
shores and on mud flats, but it seems to be 
rare in deeper waters. Two specimens taken 
by the survey near mouth of Buzzards Bay, at 
Fish Hawk station 7674!, in 7 fathoms, mud 
and sand. 
“The breeding season of Ph. gouldii at Newport, 
R. I., extends from the middle of June to the 
middle of August and probably later.” Indi- 
viduals laid eggs at Woods Hole, August 22, 29, 
and September 3. — Gerould. 
Reported by Verrill from the stomach of a skate 
(Raja Icervisl). 
identified by Prof. J. P. Moore. Specimens from points desig- 
im station 78. This was found to includ e Phascolosoma vernllii 
icated were Phascolion strombi.
