Excerpt from Fauna of New England: 13, List of the Mollusca

The preparation of a faunal list of New England Mollusca at this time, when nomenclature is so misettled by the adoption of the genera of Bolten and of other early writers, whose works were either overlooked or ignored by the "old school," is fraught with sad misgivings as one sees many of the names familiar from boyhood swept into the synonymic sea. Though fully believing in the law of priority, I should feel some hesitancy in presenting these names in a faunal list, were it not for the fact that practically all of these changes have been recently published, but so scattered through various journals and papers that their adoption has not yet become general.

The Gould-Binney edition of the Invertebrates of Massachusetts, published in 1870, is still the book on New England Mollusca and will continue to be for some time; therefore in preparing this list all of the names used in that work that have been changed, are given in the synonym. The second work bearing directly on the fauna is Verrill's Report upon the Invertebrate Animals of Vineyard Sound and Adjacent Waters, published by the United States Commission of Fish and Fisheries in 1873. This was followed by his "Catalogue of Marine Mollusca added to the fauna of the New England coast and the adjacent parts of the Atlantic consisting mostly of deep sea species" published in three parts in the Transactions of the Connecticut Academy, 1882, 1884, and 1885.As the latter papers contained many species found far beyond what can be reasonably considered New England, the necessity of establishing a New England marine faunal area became apparent. A paper on this subject with the accompanying map was published in the Society's Museum and Library Bulletin, No.7, May, 1908.

In forming this area we should take into consideration the diversity of conditions off our coast, such as the great irregularity in depth, the effect of currents and tides on the temperature of the water, and the character of the sea bottom.
