Anthoptilum murrayi has originally been taken by the Challengers, south of Halifax (one 

 specimen, 510"™ long), 48 8' N. Lat., 63 39 W. Long., depth 1250 fathoms; later, it has proved to be of 

 frequent occurrence off the east coast of North America, partly at the same localities as the preceding 

 species, in depths from 640—1362 fathoms (Verrill, Am. J. Sc. (3), vol.28, p. 220; U. S. Fish. Comm. Rep. 

 1883, p. 511). On the European side of the Atlantic, it was found almost at the same time at two 

 rather widely separated localities, viz. by the «Caudan in the Bay of Gascony (depth 1410 metres, 

 45 57' N. Lat, 6° 21' W. Eon g. (Paris), one specimen, 400'""' long), and by the «Ingolf» south of Iceland, 

 at four stations situated on almost the same line west to east between Greenland and the Freroe Isles, 

 viz. St. 83, 62 25' N. Lat, 28 30' W. Long., 912 fathoms; St. 40, 62° N. Lat, 21 36' W. Long., 845 fathoms; 

 St. 65, 6i° 33' N. Lat, 19 W.Long, 1089 fathoms; and St. 47, 6i° 32' N. Lat, 13 40' W. Long., 950 fathoms. 



Thus it is evident that the species belongs to the deep part of the whole northern Atlantic 

 inside the territory of the positive bottom temperatures.
