This species occurs sparingly in the warmer waters of the 

 ocean, but is very abundant in the North Atlantic, and 

 especially round the British Islands. It generally affects 

 shallow water in cold and temperate seas, occurring in 

 deeper water in lower latitudes. At Funafuti it was found 

 at the great depth of 1485 fathoms. 



Forty miles south of Cape Wiles, 100 fathoms. One 

 complete carapace of typical dimensions.

This species was originally described from soundings made 

 by H.M.S. " Penguin," near Funafuti, at 1489 fathoms, and 

 has been since recorded by the writer from three soundings 

 from the same place, at 1050, 1417 and 2715 fathoms. 



Station 36, east of Tasmania, 777 fathoms. Common. 



ARGILLCECIA GRACILIOR, Chapman. 



Argilloscia gracilior, Chapman, Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond., 

 Zool., xxx., 1910, p. 428, pi. Ivi., figs. I8a-b. 



A. gracilior was first described from the soundings by the 

 " Penguin " from Funafuti, at 1050 and 1215 fathoms. The 

 present specimens are rather smaller than the type, measuring 

 .44mm. in length against that of .7mm. from the Funafuti 

 example. 



Station 36, east of Tasmania, 777 fathoms. Two speci- 

 mens.
