This species was taken by the higolf in Davis Strait, making the 

 first record for American waters. The present record extends the 

 range very greatly southward.

Station 2466 steamer Albatross, south of Newfoundland, 45° 29'

This species bears a very striking superficial resemblance to 

 Phippsiella similis (Sars) but upon close examination it is found 

 to differ in important characters. The specimen that I have exam- 

 ined also differs somewhat in a few characters from the description 

 and figures given by Stephensen, but this I believe to be due to the 

 very immature condition of the specimens he had at his disposal. 



The Ingolf Expedition took this species off western Greenland in 

 latitude 64° 54' N. ; the present record, therefore, extends the range 

 considerably to the south. 



1 Schelleubcrs;, in Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., vol. 69, no. 9, pp. 196, 197, 1929, has given an 

 excellent key to the genera of the Stegocephalidae, but the characters for the genera 

 Phippsiella and Stegocephalopsia have been accidentally transposed.
