Notes
Brachiopods dredged on the worldwide exploratory cruises of R/V Vema, of the Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory of Columbia University, are important in expanding knowledge of brachiopod distribution and taxonomy. Thirty-two species are identified, of which six are new. Twenty-one genera are represented, one of which is new. The species of five genera and the genera of two lots could not be determined. The majority of the brachiopods were taken from waters deeper than 100 fathoms. One specimen of Abyssothyris was dredged from the greatest depth (6179 meters=20,267 feet) from which a brachiopod has been taken.
