“Off Marthas Vineyard, 10 fathoms, stony, 
rare.” — Verrill. Off Sankaty Head, in 20 
fathoms, 2 or more specimens*. Crab Ledge, 
at Fish Hawk stations 7605* (? 1 specimen) 
and 7606 (2 specimens); likewise one speci- 
men found off Kopeecon Point at Phalarope 
station 66. — Survey. 
Boltenia sp. undetermined. 
Considerable numbers of a beautiful Boltenia 
have been dredged by the Survey and by vari- 
ous other collectors at Crab Ledge, in 16 to 25 
fathoms on bottoms of gravel and stones. Prof. 
Ritter has been unable to determine with cer- 
tainty the identity of this species. In the 
notes which he has furnished us it is entered 
as “Boltenia ovifera (L.) ? Boltenia burkhardti 
Agassiz ? ’ ’ 
Fish Hawk stations: 7603 (5), 7604 (2), 7605, 
7606 (1), 7607 (several large and small), 7608 
(several large), 7609 (1 small). 
Glandula arenicola Verrill. 
Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 701, 502. 
“ Dredged by Mr. Prudden, off Cuttyhunk Island, 
in 1872.” — Verrill. 
Glandula sp. 
Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 701, 502. 
Verrill records an undetermined species of this 
genus from “Vineyard Sound and off Marthas 
Vineyard, 10 to 20 fathoms, sand. ” The speci- 
mens were less than one-fifth of an inch in 
diameter; “the integument was densely cov- 
ered by rather coarse and very firmly adherent 
grains of sand in several layers.” 
Styela partita (Stimpson). [Chart 192.]

records); Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 701, 311

partita). 
Generally distributed throughout the eastern 
half of Vineyard Sound ; occasionally met with 
elsewhere in the Sound and in Buzzards Bay, 
where it appears to be confined to the inshore 
stations; dredged in 3 to 15 fathoms on bottoms

of sand, stones, and gravel. — Survey. Large 
clusters of this species, sometimes associated 
with Molgula manhattensis , Perophora viridis, 
Didemnum lutarium, and various hydroids, 
Bryozoa, and algae, were not infrequently 
brought up in the dredge. It is common, also 
as a littoral species, being recorded from the 
stone wall of the local pier, Vineyard Haven 
and Edgartown, on piles, Nobska Point, and 
Katama Bay.

A specimen believed by Dr. Ritter to belong to 
an undescribed species was taken in Vine- 
yard Sound, at Fish Hawk station 7339. 
Family Ascidud^. 
Ascidia complanata Fabricius. 
A specimen thus identified by Prof. Ritter was 
taken at Crab Ledge (Fish Hawk station 7608).

New Bedford. — L. Agassiz. Abundant at New- 
port.— Verrill. Sometimes very common in 
Woods Hole Harbor upon suitable objects. On 
January 4, 1908, Mr. V. N. Edwards took great 
numbers from a “cod car ’’anchored at the Bu- 
reau of Fisheries pier*; and it was present in 
equal abundance upon the “ cars ” throughout 
the summer of 1909. One or more specimens 
were collected by Dr. Osbum at Vineyard 
Haven, on piles July 31, 1906*. Mr. G. M, Gray 
reports the occurrence of this species in Little 
Harbor and in the Eel Pond. Ciona has not
