It will lie seen from this summary that manv species known to occur in one portion 

 or another of the waters explored are conspicuous liv their absence ; e.g.. three

All the large specimens have been preserved in alcohol, and the smaller examples 

 taken in plankton-hauls were preserved in formalin. 



In conclusion, 1 \vish to express my thanks to my colleague. .Mr. 1!. Southern, for 

 three of the drawings, and for help on various occasions. Many of the other drawings 

 have been done by Miss E. E. Barnes, of Dublin, in a room kindly lent for the purpose

This has a somewhat roundel' body than Berry's specimen, which is possible 

 due to some difference caused by preservation. There is a deep \entral furrow, and 

 the mantle-opening is verv wide. The funnel reaches above the eves, its apex beinu 

 about on a level with the mouth. The funnel-organ consists of a median A-shaped
