Those marked by asterisks in the first column have been col- 
lected in Grover’s cliff, the most northern section yielding these 
fossils. In the second column are those found in Great Head, 
mostly by Dr. Stimpson, to whose list Mr. Dodge has added, some- 
what doubtfully, three species. An hour’s search there by Mr. Q. 
E. Dickerman and myself was rewarded by fragments of Venus 
mercenaria , abundant ; Mya arenaria and Gyclocardia borealis , 
1 United States Fish Commission, Report of 1871-72. This work and Gould’s Report 
on the Invertebrata of Massachusetts give notes of the geographic range of our species, 
living and fossil, and of the situations and depths at which they occur.
