Notes. Henderson records only four lots of this species, all from off Martha's 

 Vineyard, Mass.

 fig. 7. 



Notes. Two lots that are referable to this minute but characteristic species were 

 collected by the Atlantis. The only other known lot is that taken by the Challenger off 

 Culebra Island. 



Records. CUBA: /l//aA/m, station 2961C, off Bahia Cochinos (N. Lat. 22 07 ; W. Long. 81' 08') 

 in 190-370 fathoms; Atlantis, station 2967B, off Guantanamo Bay, Oriente (N. Lat. 19' 43 ; W. 

 Long. 74" 57' 30") in 1330-1650 fathoms.

Notes. This is the seventh known record for this species. It has been recorded 

 from Culebra Island, Barbados; from three stations off Puerto Rico, and one from 

 the " Bahamas ". This is the first record for Cuba, and the specimens were dredged 

 from a much greater depth than any previous lots. 



Records. CUBA: Atlantis, station 2959, off the Isle of Pines (N. Lat. 21 17': W. Long. 83" 06') 

 in 2050 fathoms. 



CATALOGUE OF THE SCAPHOPOD TYPES IN THE MUSEUM OF COMPARATIN E 



ZOOLOGY 



In the following catalogue of the types it will be noted that the holotypes of many of 

 the species that Dall described in the " Blake Report " are in the Museum of Com- 

 parative Zoology. It is difficult to know just what Henderson (1920) meant by his 

 use of the word " Type ". If he was referring to the holotype, he made some rather 

 curious errors. He was probably using it to refer to any of the primary types, for 

 indeed all his references are to either holotypes or paratypes. It is curious that he 

 says, under Cadulus aequalis Dall "The type Cat. No. 95373, U.S.N. M. is from a 

 lot of two specimens taken by the Blake . . ." and later " This is the unique museum 

 record ", when, in the original description, Dall stated that he had three specimens. 

 This third specimen was the one selected by Dall as the holotype and returned to 

 the Museum of Comparative Zoology. Though Henderson says in the introduction 

 to his paper that he had the entire collection from the Museum ol Comparative 

 Zoology for study, one wonders if he actually did. In any event, he put very little 

 of this material on record.
