On 30 Nov 2014 I was with a  small group of Long Island and New York City collectors when we  found a disarticulated   adult  specimen of Solen viridis  among the lobster traps stored at Orient Boat Basin near Orient Point, New York.  Previously fishermen there told us they had set their traps around Plum Island, so this shell probably/possibly came from NY waters though they wouldn't have to go much further to enter Rhode Island waters. Solen viridis was one of the "needs confirmation" species in the Long Island Shell Club Publication of the 1970s, so we have a specimen collected in NY though we cant be 100% sure it was taken in NY waters. This is yet another species that seems easier to find on either side of NY, we have specimens from several localities in NJ, and Kevin Czaja and others find them in Rhode Island and S. Massachusetts.
