Abstract
The distribution patterns of Venus mercenaria and Callocardia morrhuana in Narragansett Bay are shown to be related to the character of the bottom. Venus is most abundant where the dominant sediments are fine, but its abundance in these sediments is strongly related to the presence of large particles such as shell and rocks as minor constituents of the substratum....
