A. D. Mead (“Biological Notes,” No. 1) reports 
the taking of a large number of young, measur- 
ing from 1 to 10 mm. long, in tow at Wickford, 
R. I., June 20, 1899. For a good description of 
habits see Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 356-357.

Shells common in Vineyard Sound, particularly 
in the eastern half; in the Bay, common at the 
inshore stations; dredged in from 2 to 15 fath- 
oms, chiefly at depths of 10 fathoms or less, on 
quite various bottoms; living specimens rarely 
taken at these depths. — Survey. Found by 
Osbum at the head of Lagoon Pond, living in 
6 feet of water, and doubtless common in the 
shallower waters generally. It is possible that 
most of the shells scattered throughout Vine- 
yard Sound have been carried thither by 
currents.
