Along with the deep water species I have recorded a few 
specimens, chiefly from the neighbourhood of the Andaman Islands, 
regarding which no indication as to the depth at which they were 
obtained was given. But it appeared more fitting, since they be- 
long to the same series of collections as the deep Andaman speci- 
mens, to consider them here rather than with the shallow water 
forms. 
GENERAL NOTES ON THE COLLECTION. 
Morphological.—Under this head little of special interest has 
to be recorded. I must note, however, the occurrence, in the 
only species of A glaophenia found in the collection, of a peculiar and 
distinctive gonosome. Thisappears to be a modified type of cor- 
bula in which the protective leaflets, which are arranged in two 
tiers, bristle outwards from the body of the gonosome, while the 
gonangia are covered in and protected by delicate plates of chitin 
(See p16, pl. iv, fg.7).
