6. March 1-4, 1876 ; South Atlantic ; lat. 36° l'-36° 52' S., long. 47° 35'-42°47' W.

7. Western Pacific, north of New Guinea. Three specimens mounted in Canada 

 balsam, and marked respectively " Phronimella ?," " Phronimella $," " Phronimella $." 



8. February 6-7, 1875; south of Mindanao, Celebes Sea; lat. 6° 20' N., 

 long. 123° 18' E. (See p. 1362.)

 surface; surface temperature, 76° "5. Two specimens, female. 



10. April 3, 1875; Pacific, between Papua and Japan; lat. 24° 49' N., long. 

 138° 34' E.; surface; surface temperature, 71°'5. One specimen, female. 



11. Station 230; lat. 26° 29' N, long. 137° 57' E. (See p. 1366.)

 long. 149° 49' W. (See p. 1369.) 



14. August and September 1875 ; Pacific Ocean; surface. (See p. 1369.) 



These stations show a range from lat. 26° 29' N. to lat. 36° or 37° S., but as 

 Phronimella is also recorded from the Mediterranean, its northward extension is carried 

 some degrees higher ; its extension from east to west as here exhibited confines it to the 

 Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, but, as just observed, it is also found in the Mediterranean, 

 and it has been recently reported by Dr. Giles from the Bay of Bengal. 



Family Hyperidj;, Dana, 1852. 



For Dana's account of the family, see Notes on Dana, 1852 (pp. 258, 261). For the 

 definition by Claus, see Note on Claus, 1879 (p. 487). 



Bovallius, who writes the name Hyperiidas, thus defines the family in 1887 :* — 



" Head large, more or less globular. Eyes large, occupying the sides of the head.
