Urosalpinx cine reus — Continued. 
(several shells), 121 (living), 122 (few shells), 
124 (shells), 126 (few shells), 128 (few shells), 
129 (1 shell), 130 (few shells), 132, 136, 145 
(few shells), 150 (few shells), 151 (2 shells), 155 
(1 shell), 158 (few shells), 163 (1 shell), 164 
(several living), 167 (few shells). 
The horny egg cases may be found attached to 
the under surface of stones, commonly in clus- 
ters. According to Dr. Bumpus’s statement, 
Urosalpinx was found breeding on May 21; 
oviposition being observed during several 
weeks in June. Mr. T. E. B. Pope found 
specimens laying eggs at Woods Hole on July 
13; young were found hatching on July 27. 
This species perforates the shells of various 
living mollusks, hence the popular name of 
“drill.” It is of tenvery destructive to oys- 
ters. 
Thais lapillus (Linnaeus). 
Gould, 1870, p. 360 ( Purpura lapillus; not listed 
for this region); Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 
642, 306, etc. ( Purpura lapillus)', Dali, 1889, 
p. 122 ( Purpura lapillus). 
Not very common nor generally distributed in 
this region. Recorded from rocky shores at 
Cuttyhunk, Nobska Point, and at Buzzards 
Bay, near Woods Hole. Gay Head, at Blue 
Winstation 51 (many living specimens were 
here either dredged in shoal water or collected 
from rocks by hand). Eggs were taken at 
two stations (Fish Hawk 7707* and 7720*) in 
neighboring parts of the Sound. 
The egg cases of this species are similar to those 
of Urosalpinx. Mr. T. E. B. Pope observed 
individuals laying eggs at Woods Hole on July 
13; young were found hatching on July 27.

shells)*, 144 (1 shell.)

Family Janthinid^;. 
Janthina fragilis Lamarck.

1870, p. 277; Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 660.

Stimpson. 
Family Fulimid.e. 
Eulima oleacea Kurtz & Stimpson. 
Stimpson, 1851; Gould, 1870, p. 332; Verrill and 
Smith, 1873, p. 655, 418, etc. 
Buzzards Bay. — Stimpson. “Vineyard Sound 
. . . not uncommon on Thyone briareus, in 4 to 
10 fathoms. ” — Verrill. Appears "to live as a 
quasi parasite or ‘commensal. ’ ” 
Specimens of Eulima from various local points 
were referred by us to Messrs. Dali and Bartsch, 
and were unhesitatingly identified by them as 
E. conoidea (see below). It is possible, there- 
fore, that the foregoing records really relate to 
the following species. On the other hand, 
Stimpson himself lists E. oleacea from Buzzards 
Bay.
