As no other species with short eye-stalks is known from the whole Atlantic, the name 

 L. Faxonii given by Borradaile to the form figured by Faxon and Brooks and captured north 

 of the line in that Ocean can be applied with certainty. 



Distribution. — The list of localities and number of specimens show that L. Faxonii 

 is moderately common in the major part of the "Siboga" area. The Copenhagen Museum pos- 

 sesses specimens from some places in the Atlantic: lat. 33° N., long. 47° W. ("Galathea" Exped.); 

 Cruz Bay, St. Jan, West Indies (Dr. Th. Mortensen); off Puerto Cabello (Commodore H. Kl^jr); 

 lat. 4°3o'N., Wng. 28°2o'W. (Hugo Muller); lat. 23° S., long. 42° W. (Jonas Beldring). — 

 The specimens from the Atlantic taken by the German Plankton-Expedition and referred by 

 Ortmann to L. typus belong certainly to the present species; on its occurrence Ortmann wrote 

 (op. cit. 1893, p. 41), that in contradistinction to the other species (dealt with by me above as 

 the real L. typus H. M.-Edw.) it is "sehr lokalisiert: ausser je einem, offenbar versprengten 

 Exemplar im Floridastrom und der Sargasso-See (pahe Bermuda) fand er sich zahlreich an einer 

 bestimmten Stelle des slidlichen Aequatorialstroms (nahe Fernando Noronha) und massenhaft 

 auf der Kustenbank vor der Tocantins-Mundung".
