Eanges from Iceland and Loffoden Isles to throughout the Mediter- 

 ranean, Madeira, the Canary Isles. Locard does not mention this 

 species at all as having been found by the Talisman and Travailleur 

 expeditions, or the Caudan expedition. Jeffreys reports it from the 

 Porcupine expeditions of 1869-70.

Appears to have the same geographical distribution as the last 

 species. Locard doubts if the Mediterranean form is the same as the 

 Atlantic, and proposes Brown's name brevirostris for the latter. I 

 have carefully compared, with Mr. E. A. Smith's kind assistance, our 

 specimens with those from the ForciLpinc expedition, in the British 

 Museum. 



Station XI. 146 fathoms. One odd valve. 

 XII. 246 fathoms. One odd valve.
