 pi. v., fig. 6. 



Locard remarks that this species is very local in its distribution, it 

 being more or less confined to the Bay of Biscay, the commonest form 

 of the French coast. 



It was dredged in the Pormi^ine, Travailleur, 1882, Hirondelle, 

 1886, Caudan, 1895, expeditions in the Bay of Biscay. 



Station V. 109 fathoms. Two living, both males. One dead, young 

 and broken.

 Hist., 6^ ser., p. 424. 



This species seems to be widely distributed in the North Atlantic, 

 from Scandinavia and Finmark to the coasts of Morocco. Mons. 

 Locard points out that in the north it inhabits comparatively shallow 

 water, living at greater and greater depths as its most southern 

 recorded habitat is reached. 



Station V. 109 fathoms. One dead. 



„ IX. 240 fathoms. One young, living. 

 „ XII. 246 fathoms. One dead. 



Note. — At first I concluded that specimens from Stations 9 and 12 were 

 referable to Neptunea peregra, Locard {Exped. du Trav. et du Talis., vol. i, 

 p. '311, pi. xviii,figs. 8 ^o 11). I submitted them to Mons. Dautzenberg, who 

 decided they were the young of the above species. Is Neptunea peregra, 

 Locard, a distinct species 1
