Cytheridea rubra G. W. Muller. 
PL 33, fig. 57-61; pi. 34, fig. 78. 
Cytheridea rubra G. W. Muller, ’94, p. 360, pi. 30, fig. 24-27, 29, 30, 34-39, 
46, 48. 
The American specimens seem to be like the Mediterranean ones 
in all respects, both in the characters of the shell and those of the 
appendages. According to Muller it does not seem to be a very com¬ 
mon species in the Mediterranean, for he found it but once, then in 
ten fathoms. 
Shells of this species were found in Buzzards Bay, “Phalarope” 
station 102, and it was found living in Vineyard Sound, “Fish Hawk” 
stations 7685, 7686, 7723, 7725. 
This species, being found in the Mediterranean and not noted 
from the rest of Europe, may be a more southern type. It seems to 
be fairly well distributed in the Wood’s Hole region. 
Cytheridea papillosa Bosquet. 
PI. 33, fig. 65-66.

Cythere debilis Norman, ’65, p. 15, pl. 5, fig. 5-8. 
Cyprideis bairdii Sars, ’66, p. 52. 
This species was met with but once and then the empty shell only 
was found. This one locality, “Fish Hawk” station 7723, was in 
the deeper part of Vineyard Sound as might have been expected for 
this is a decidedly northern species whose range extends northward 
in Davis Strait to lat. 69° 31' N., Baffin’s Bay, Iceland, and Spitz- 
bergen. It is common on the northern coasts of the British Isles 
but not on the southern coasts, that being apparently nearly the 
southern limit. It has been recorded from the Gulf of St. Lawrence 
by Brady (’70) and from the post-Tertiary clays of Portland and Saco, 
Maine, and from Montreal by Brady and Crosskey (’71).
