Distribution. — The only station from which I have had material 

 tliat can be referred to this species is off the northern coast of South 

 America, east of Trinidad. There are a few records for it off the 

 Bi'itish Isles, and Goes records it from off Greenland and Spitz- 

 bergen. There are a few scattered records for it elsewhere than 

 in the Atlantic. 



This has probably been confused with L. gracillima (Seguenza). 

 This differs from L. gracillima in the more cylindrical body, and 

 much shorter projections at the ends. The test is also thicker and 

 less transparent. 



Lagcna elongata — material examined.

 p. 250. 



The only specimens of this species known seem to be those recorded 

 by Balkwill and Millett from off Galway, and those recorded by 

 Heron-Allen and Earland from the Clare Island region and from 

 off the west coast of Scotland.

 London, ser. 2, vol. 11, 1916, p. 249, pi. 41, fig. 25. 



The only records for this species are from off the coast of the 

 British Isles, Chaster's figure being from off Southport, and those of 

 Heron-Allen and Earland from Goldseeker dredgings off Noss Head, 

 Moray Firth, 70 meters (38 fathoms), and other stations off the 

 coasts of Scotland and Ireland. 



LAGENA FASCIATA Egger. 



Heron- AUen and Earland ^ record this species as abundant at 

 most of the stations in the Clare Island region, and also report it as
