NEMATOBRACIIION FLEXIPES.

has been taken West of Iceland: Lat. 05° 0' N., long. 28° 10' \\., furtlienuore 

 South of Iceland and West of the Faeroes; it was captured at a {^ood number of 

 Stations in the eastern i)urt of tlu> temperate Atlantic, as West of Ireland, West 

 of France and southwards to the Canary Islands (several authors). Some few 

 specimens were taken by the "Siboga" in the Indian Archipelago, and Ortmann 

 mentions it from the waters near Hawaii. According to the foregoing list it was 

 secured at only eight Stations in the East Pacific, sporadically in a large i)art of 

 the area South of the line. It is not contained in the older rich collection of 

 Euphausiacea in the Copenhagen Museum, taken between 1845 and 1884 by 

 the "Galathea" Expedition and especially by Captains in the merchant marine, 

 and judging from this fact and from the labels of the material at hand I think 

 that N. boopis never occurs at the surface, but according to "Thors" catches 

 in the North Atlantic it must sometimes occur in depths between ca. 75 and 25 

 fms.
