82 Siphonophora of Scottish National Antarctic Expedition. 



Family DIPHYIDJE, Eschscholtz, 1829. 



Apart from a few not identifiable pieces of jelly, altogether eight 

 nectophores of Diphyids, ranging from 24 to 40 mm. in length, were 

 taken by the trawl (2300 f. to surface), at 



Stat. 53. St Paul Eocks. Temp. 79 Dec. 10th, 1902. 



Stat. 286. 68 11' S. 34 17' W. Temp. 29 March 5th, 1903. 



Stat. 396. 67 53' S. 27 20' W. Temp. 29'2 Feb. 29th, 1904. 



Stat. 416. 71 22' S. 18 15' W. Temp. 29'6 March 17th, 1904. 



Stat, 450. 48 00' S. 9 50' W. Temp. 40 April 12th, 1904. 



Three Eudoxiie must be mentioned here, two from Station 396, and one 

 from Station 450. The unsatisfactory state of their preservation makes all 

 but the reference to the above family possible as regards classification. 

 Their habitat, however, is of interest, as extending the range from which 

 they have previously been recorded. The discovery of Diphyids as far 

 south as 71 22' corresponds to their occurrence in Arctic seas.
