The occurrence of this species off the Cape is interesting — 

 showing a nearer approach to shore than in those dredged by 

 the " Challenger " off Prince Edward Island in 310 fathoms. 

 The species likewise stretches fo the Strait of Magellan. Whilst 

 two of the loose scales in the bottle agreed with those of the 

 examples from the "Challenger," a third had a group of small 

 papillae, but its connection with the rest was uncertain. The 

 example was a female with ripe eggs.

Ten bristled segments occur in the first region, the last joining 

 the long wings, as in the example of the same species from the 

 Channel Islands, England and Scotland. The head dorsally bears 

 the long tentacles, at the bases of which externally are the eyes — 

 a linear series of isolated pigment-spots which in the prepara- 

 tion are covered by the free flap of the collar. One or two
