The above specimens, amounting to about one thousand, measure from about 

 '50-1 '30 mm. Almost all possess shells, which in many cases are in good condition 

 and easily recognizable by the excellent figures of M. Vayssiere (1915, pi. VIII, 

 figs. 153-5). Sometimes the shell is in poor condition and gelatinous, but the 

 prolonged lip with reddish or white streak is generally more or less extant. A 

 specimen with a shell of '75 mm. in diameter had about twelve rows in the radula. 

 The triangular-shaped median teeth seemed to be fewer in number than the lateral 

 one^. When sorting specimens of the present species without shells, they could be 

 discerned at a glance from shell-less L. helicina of similar size by their delicate pink 

 and green appearance, more depressed spiral coils, and broader pallial gland. 

 L. helicina was, however, not taken in any of the same hauls, but was the only other 

 Limaciua in the collection observed in shoals. The above hauls add considerably to 

 the previous known range of L. inflata. Hitherto Scheeles' captures (Munthe, 1887) 

 from off Cape Horn, 58 45' S., 66 56' W., constituted the most southerly record. 

 Now we find that it is not only abundant in the waters around New Zealand but 

 ventures far south of that region, and even into the Antarctic circle to the north of 

 Victoria Laud. Meisenheimer (1905, p. 6) states that it is a warm water form 

 affecting the warm currents of zones from 40 N. to 40 S. Schiemeuz (1906) records 

 it (as an exceptional occurrence) from 60 2' N. It will lie observed that eight out of 

 the ten hauls were made at or near the surface, and in six of these it was abundant. 

 About seventy were captured in a haul at SO m., at 64 3' S. latitude, while at 

 68 03' S. latitude eighty were captured at the surface. These two hauls would seem 

 to show that the species does not affect any special layer of water in Antarctic 

 latitudes.
