Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Monograph of the East American Scaphopod Mollusks
Following the activities of the Blake, explorations were made by steamers of the United States Fish Commission in the deeper waters off the New England coast and off the Delaware Capes, extending their field of operations to the Hatteras region, from inshore stations to the abyssa] depths beyond the continental slope. These were the Fish Hawk in 1880-1882, and the Albatross in 1883 - 4. The mo] lusks so obtained were made subjects of a series of papers by A. E. Verrill, published in the Transactions of the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1882, 1883, and 1885, and also by Katherine Bush in the same publication in 1885. The Verrill and Bush Scaph Opods so added to our list are as follows.
