Anachis avara similis (Ravenel). 
Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 644 ( Anachis similis )‘ 
Dali, 1889, p. 116 ( Anachis avara, var. similis). 
“Abundant in Vineyard Sound,” according to 
Verrill. Dr. Dali regards this form as being 
merely a variety of A. avara. In the survey 
records the two have not been distinguished. 
Astyris lunata (Say). [Chart 170.] 
Gould, 1870, p. 359 ( Columbella lunata)', Verrill 
and Smith, 1873, p. 645, 306, etc.; Verrill,

Abundant and generally distributed throughout 
Vineyard Sound; in Buzzards Bay chiefly re- 
stricted to the inshore stations; dredged in 1 
to 19 fathoms, on every sort of bottom. — Sur- 
vey. This mollusk is equally abundant 
among algae growing on piles or upon rocks 
near shore.
