of this species. These, when turned out, were nearly 

 sufficiently numerous to fill a tea-cup. The sense of 

 smell possessed by these animals must be very acute 

 to enable so many of them to find the dead fish in 

 so short a time. This is all the more remarkable 

 when it is considered that sufficient time could not 

 have elapsed for any strong smell to have arisen 

 from the decomposition of the fish ; yet, by appar- 

 ently no other means, the death of the fish had 

 become known, not merely to one or two, but 

 to hundreds of these small creatures. It is also 

 remarkable that this species is seldom taken in the 

 dredge unless in connection with dead animal matter. 

 Mr. Thomas Scott has also taken it on the back of 

 a cod-fish.

(See page 39.) As this comes near Calliope in 

 many particulars, including its habitat and occur- 

 rence with eggs, it may perhaps be the female of 

 that species.
