W. LiLLJEBOHG, 1876. Tlie correctness of the determination of the former species was 

 verified. For the result of my re-examination of the latter form see the remark on the sub- 

 genus Cypridina below. 



The collection sent to me from the Zoological Museum of C h r i s t i a n i a 

 included the following species: Cypridina (Vargxda) norvegica W. Baikd, C. (Vargida) megalops 

 G. 0. S-VRS, PJnlomedes LUljeborgi G. (). Saks, Asterope norvegica G. 0. Saks, A. abyssicola 

 U. (). Saks, Conchoecia elegans G. 0. Sars and C. boreaUs G. 0. Sars, all of whicli were deter- 

 mined by Professor Sai;s himself. For tlie n\sults of my re-examination of this material see 

 the resjiective species below. (On the same occasion as this collection was sent to me Professor 

 Sars informed me that the original material of his work of 1887 — which I asked permission 

 to investigate — had unfortunately been completely lost.) 



From the Copenhagen Zoological Museum I obtained a portion of the material 

 on which G. S. Bp.aL)Y based his treatise of 1902 a. The following marine species were found in 

 this collection (the names are those used in G. S. Brady's treatise): Asterope oculata, A. lichenoides, 

 Cyclasterope fascigera, C. hrevis, C. similis, Cypridina foveolata, C. insolita, Pyrocypris americana, 

 P. Chierchiae, Cypridinodes favus, Codonoccra cruenta, Conchoecia spinirostris, C. striata and 

 Euconchoecia Chierchiae. Of these species Asterope lichenoides, Cyclasterope hrevis. Cypridina 

 foveolata (according to G. S. BRvATA's label ^ Cypridina monopia Ci.AUS) and Codonocera cruenta 

 were represented by an empty shell and Cyclasterope similis, Cypridina insolita and Cypri- 

 dinodes favus only by one valve. Because oi this I thought it best not to deal with these forms 

 at any length in this work. Asterope oculata and Cyclasterope fascigera are re-described by 

 me below. Conchoecia spinirostris (from lat. 26° N. and long. 29" W.) and Euconchoecia Chierchiae 

 were correctly determined; see these species below.* For the resTilt of my re-examination 

 of Pyrocypris Chierchiae see the remarks on the sub -genus Cypridina below. For the same 

 reasons as are given at the place mentioned it did not seem convenient to me to deal in this 

 work with P. americana, the other species of this sub-genus; there are in this collection a couple 

 of mature individuals of this species. Conchoecia striata is presumably incorrectly determined, 

 but the material is so poor that it does not seem to be possible to arrive at a certain identi- 

 fication; I have accordingly refrained from trying to give any definite answer to the question 

 as to the identity of this form. 



Professor G. W. MORRKR kindly sent me at my request specimens of Cypridina 

 (Varqula) antarctica G. W. Mi)LLb:il and Asterope teres (A. M. NORMAN); for the result of 

 my re-examination of these specimens see the former sjiecies below and my remarks under 

 Asterope Midleri. 



B'or the purpose of carrying out a verificatory investigation I wrote to Professor G. S. 

 Br>ai»y for specimens of Asterope Mariae {W. Bairh) aiul A. teres (A. M. Norman). I obtained 

 a mature female of the latter species; for the result of my investigation of this specimen see 

 Asterope Miilleri below. I .ilso received five specimens of the f(n-mer species; the result of 

 my investigation of these will be found under Asterope aberrata and A. norvegica below.
