382 THE MOLLUSCA COLLECTED BY THE " HUXLEY " FROM THE 



Distribution, Norway, Sweden, the seas of Northern Europe pretty 

 generally, Locard is of the opinion that its reputed discovery in the 

 Mediterranean requires confirmation. 



I am, to some extent, doubtful as to the identification of all the 

 specimens I have referred as belonging to this species, their condition 

 not being good in most cases. 



Station I. 75 fathoms. One of average size but long dead, one smaller, 

 dead and broken. 



Station II. 75 fathoms. Two, both dead, one with remnants of epi- 

 dermis. 



Station V. 109 fathoms. Two, both dead, and young shells. 



,, IX. 240 fathoms. One of average size but long dead, and one 

 fragment.

 I cannot find much recorded relating to the distribution of this 

 species, and the Porcupine material has not yet been worked out. 

 Jeffreys' localities, given in his British Conchology, are all Northern or 

 Irish Sea, and Dautzenberg records it from the coast of Loire-Inferieur. 

 I do not find it mentioned as having been found by the Caiidan, Tra- 

 vailleur et Talisman, or the Prince of Monaco's expeditions. 

 Station V. 109 fathoms. One young, dead. 

 ,, IX. 240 fathoms. One living, 



,, XI. 146 fathoms. One dead embryonic, one dead but covered 

 with epidermis.

Distribution, Norway, etc., and according to Jeffreys, in 78 fathoms 

 off the coast of Shetland. Locard does not record this species from 

 either the Travailleur and Talisman or Caudan expeditions. 



Station XIII. 246 fathoms. One living and one dead.
