some hours horizontally at depths varying between 900 and 1800 m. Nineteen of the anterior and 

 fifteen of the posterior nectophores were taken between 1450-1650 m., and as many (7) at 1800 m. 

 as (8) above 1450 m. The figures for Ch. multidentata off Bermuda are comparable. Chuniphyes spp. 

 have been recorded from at least fifty-eight other 'Discovery' Stations, varying in depth between 

 250-100 and 2480-2580 m., but specific identifications have not been re-checked so far.

The contracted gastrozooids of a specimen from ' Discovery ' Station 2006 are very small. A typical 

 one measured 1-12 mm. in length and 0-37 mm. in diameter. The tentilla are minute and their structure 

 has not been examined or described.
