FROM THE EDDYSTONE GROUNDS TO START POINT. 447 



Distribution. Geographical. Norway, Baltic, Kattegat, North Sea, British Coasts, 

 Mediterraiiean (Hartlaub, No. 38). 



Depth. Shallow water to 33 fathoms (E. J. A.). 



Habitat. On Sertularians and on the Spider Crab ("Wright). On Dentalium entalis, 

 Fiisus anliquus, Turritella communis, and on stones {fi^le Hincks, No. 46). On Mya 

 areiiariu, on mussel shells, frequent on Nucula nucleus (Hartlaub). On Twritclla, 

 Chiton, Leda, Nucula, and Dentalium (Levinsen, No. 66). Growing on legs of a crab 

 and on Turritella shells at Plymouth (Bourne, No. 12). It is also frequently taken at 

 Plymouth on Nassa reticulata. Ferigonimus repens is clearly a species which fixes itself 

 most frequently to living crustaceans and molluscs. 



Garveia nutaiis. On the Prawle Stony Ground only, in haul 29 

 (depth, 30 fathoms), growing on Tubularia indivisa, which was itself 



fixed to a large stone. 



DiSTUiBi'TioN. Geographical. Scottisli Coasts, Shetland, Morecambe Bay (Hincks, 

 No. 46, and AUman, No. 2) ; Hilbre Island, Mouth of Dee ; Plymouth (Garstang). 



Depth. Between tide-marks (Allman) to 30 fathoms (E. J. A.). 



Habitat. On rocks, zoophytes, and sea- weeds (Allman). 



Heterocordylc Conyheari. On the fine sand of Ground I., in haul 

 51 only, fixed to shell of Buccinum undatum inhabited by Eupagurus 

 Bernhardus. 



DiSTiiiBUTiox. Geographical. Glengariff Harbour, co. Cork, Oban (Allman and 

 Hincks). 



Depth. Near low- water mark (Hincks) to 30 fathoms (E. T. B. ). 



Hahital. On univalve shells tenanted by Hermit Cra])s (Allman). On Buccinum 

 (Hincks). Mr. E. T. Browne has found the species aljundant in Plymouth Sound on the 

 shells of living Nassa reticulata. Heterocordyle Conyheari is clearly a species which fixes 

 itself to living and freely-moving animals. 



Bougainvillia ramosa (Chart III). As will be seen from the Chart, 

 in the area described in this report, this species is practically confined 

 to the fine sand grounds, on which it is frequently met with, though 

 not in large quantities. The only exception to this was in haul 84, 

 on Ground XI., where the bottom-deposit is coarse gravel mixed with 

 fine sand, and in this haul only one piece was seen. It was generally 

 found growing on polychaete tubes or on other hydroids. 



DiSTiiiBOTiON. Geographical. Baltic, North Sea, British Coasts. 



Depth. Low-water (Allman, No. 2) to 26 fathoms (Hartlaub, No. 38), 35 fathoms 

 (E. J. A.). 



Habitat. On shells and stones and on other zoophytes (Hincks). On Virgularia 

 mirahilis (Dalyell). Allman records it on rocks near low-water. On Hyas aranea 

 (Apstein). Hartlaub found it at Heligoland, in 8i fathoms, on sandy ground, with many 

 Ascidians. By the Pommerania expedition it was dredged on ground described as muddy, 

 in 26 fathoms (Schulze, No. 105). 



Tubularia indivisa (Table VI., p. 529) was taken only on the Prawle 

 Stony Ground (XVIil.), where it was growing on a large stone. 



DisTiiiBUTlON. Geographical. Alaska, Greenland, North Cape, White Sea, Norway, 

 Baltic, North Sea (rare at Heligoland), British Coasts, Bay of Biscay {fide Allman, No. 2, 

 and Hartlaub, No. 38), Mediterranean (Pruvot, No. 98). 



Depth. Low-water to 55 fathoms. 



Hahitat. Tubularia indivisa is most frequently found on rocky and 

 stony ground. It is often taken on Uoatiug objects, such as buoys,
