JScMzaster frag ills. (^Brissus fragilis, Dubea and Koren). 



Ctenodiscus crispatus, Duben and Koren. 



Amphiura, near to A. horeaUs, Sars. 



Opliiacantlia spiiiidosa, Mull. 



Ophiogli/pha Sarsii, Lutken, (large.) 



In 69 fathoms, oiF Sawhill point, a curious Asterid was 

 dredged, which is probably the Korethraster hispidus of Wyville 

 Thompson. A few specimens of Astropliyton Agassizii were col- 

 lected from 60 fathoms mud, off Thunder River ; and Asteria» 

 Greenlandicus, Steenstrup, was occasionally met with at depths 

 of from 30 to 60 fathoms. 



Annelida. 

 The whole of the deep sea worms collected have been sent to 

 Pr. W. C. Mcintosh, F.L.S., (of Murthly, near Perth, Scotland) 

 to whom I am indebted for the identification of the 12 species, of 

 which a list is given below. In the deep sea mud, between 100 

 and 250 fathoms, the annelids determined so far, are as follows : 



Ammotrypane aulogaster^ Kaihke. 

 Amphictene auricoma^ Mull. 

 Amphtporus, sp. 

 Ephesia gracilis^ Eathke. 

 Eunoa nodosa, Sars. 

 Goniada maculata, (Ersted. 

 Lineus, sp. 



Liimbrinereis fragilis, Mull. 

 Nothria conchylega, Sars. 

 Praxilla gracilis, Sars. 

 Sahella pavonia, Savigny. 

 Terebellides Slroemii, Sars. 

 Thelepus circinatus, Fabr. 

 Trophonia plumosa, Mull. 



In addition to these. Dr. Mcintosh informs me, " there is a 

 specimen of a small Balanoglossus, while a Lepidonotus, Nepthys, 

 Maldane, Praxilla and Nothria, need determination." Of the 12 

 species at present identified, 11 are also found in the seas of the 

 Shetlands. 



Crustacea. 



Although the Crustaceans collected are not very numerous in 

 species, some of them are of considerable interest. The following 

 is a list of those determined at present : 



(Decapoda.) 



Cancer irroratus, Say. Low water mark, Ellis Bay, Anticosti, 

 and elsewhere. 



Chionocoetes opiJio, Fabr. Specimens of large size are not un- 

 frequently met with, thrown ashore. 



Ill/as coarctata, Leach. Low water mark down to 60 or 70 

 fathoms.
