Smith, 1873, p. 692, 309, etc. (Argina pexata). 
Buzzards Bay, chiefly in the shallower parts; 
shells taken at a few stations in the Sound. — 
Survey. Dredged at 2 to 25 fathoms, though 
rarely at depths greater than 6 fathoms; living 
specimens appear to be restricted to shallow 
waters, especially where the bottom is more or 
less muddy.
