REPORT ON THE PYCNOGONIDA. 99 



robustum, Nymjylion Tuacronyx, &c. (See above.) There is one veiy young specimen, 

 and the three others are females. For figures and a full description of this species I again 

 refer to my paper on the Pycnogonids of Barents Sea.^ 



The specimens trawled by the " Knight Errant" are not quite so large as those from 

 Barents Sea. 



Station 8 (cruise of the " Knight Errant"). Lat. 60° 3' N., long. 5° 51' W. August 

 17, 1880. Depth of the sea, 540 fathoms. Cold area.

Of this very common species one specimen was dredged at 53 fathoms. It occurs 

 only in the neighbourhood of the coast, and ranges to the north as far as the White Sea, 

 where Jarzynsky (Prsemissus Catalogus, &c., loc. cit.) collected it on the coast of Russian 

 Lapland, and as far south as the coast of the Mediterranean. Westward it is common at 

 difierent places on the North-American coast, and it also abounds on the east coast of the 

 Atlantic — as on the English, Dutch, French coasts, &e. Slater (Ann. and Mag. of Nat. 

 Hist, V. series, vol. iii., 1879) describes a variety of this species — it is a little more 

 slender — collected on the coast of Japan. Most probably, therefore, the species will also 

 be found to occur along the whole northern coast of Siberia. 



The single specimen trawled in the neighbourhood of the Scottish coast is a male 

 with distinct ovigerous legs. It was dredged at 



Station No. 3 (cruise of the "Knight Errant"). Lat. 59° 12' N., long., 5° 51' W. 

 August 3, 1880. Depth of the sea, 53 fathoms. 



' TMs same species has been recently described by Mr E. J. Miers under the name Anomorhynchiis smithii, 

 n. gen., n. sp., from specimens collected by Mr Leigh Smith a little to the south of Franz-Josef Land (Annals and 

 Magazine of Natural History for January 1881, p. 50, pi. vii. figs. 6-8). (Note inserted during the correction of the 

 last proof.)
