44 " ENDEAVOUR " SCIENTIFIC RESULTS. 



This generally-distributed Atlantic species was found in 

 " Gazelle " dredgings by Dr. Egger off the coast of West 

 Australia at a depth of 357 metres. 



Forty miles south of Cape Wiles, 100 fathoms. One valve.

This species is widely distributed and almost confined to 

 deep-water conditions. Amongst other localities it has been 

 found off Sydney at 410 fathoms. Egger records it from 

 near Kerguelen Island and off the west coast of Australia. 



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

 East of Tasmania, 1122 fathoms. A left valve. 



Genus LOXOCONCHA, G. 0. Sars. 



LOXOCONCHA AUSTRALIS, G. 8. Brady 1 , var. TASMANICA, 



var. nov. 



(Plate ii., fig. 6.) 



The specimens of the present series are thin-shelled and 

 ovoid, and the valves are less distinctly pitted than in the 

 typical form. The species, which usually occurs in shallow 

 water, has been recorded by Dr. Brady from Port Jackson, 

 N. S. Wales, 2-10 fathoms ; off Booby Island, Cape York, 

 6-8 fathoms ; and from the Port of Noumea, New Caledonia, 

 2-6 fathoms. The writer has also obtained L. australis from 

 the beach-sands and lagoon dredgings round Funafuti. 



Station 36, east of Tasmania, 777 fathoms. Two separate 

 valves.
