As it has been taken at Sea Cliff, Long Island, across the Sound, and as the species is perhaps the most widespread of the genus, there seems to be no real reason why a little careful collecting on sandy beaches should not bring it to Fig. 46.

This seems to be a more common species and of wider range of habitat than the preceding. Perhaps a quotation from Uhler's writings will help to visualize the species. He terms it "a sprightly species, which inhabits dark rocks in the beds of running streams and brooks in the metamorphic region of Maryland, and of East- ern Massachusetts .... from May 'till ; So far, it does not appear to have been recorded from Connecticut. (Say). Het. New Harm., 34, 1832. Pentacora hirta seems to be one of the most abundant species of the genus in the East. It is commonly to be found on the muddy tidal flats and beaches of the Sound, hunting around among the sedges in company with Saldula interstitialis and Pentacora sphacelata.
