Atlantic north of 10°S., and no less than 88 are identical with species that also 
belong to the fauna of the West Indies and neighbouring American coasts or 
of the Atlantic approaches to the Mediterranean. 
This, so far as we know, is a larger number of species — speaking only of 
the fauna of moderate depths below 100 fathoms — than the Indian Seas have 
in common with any one of the Seas that are much nearer and with which 
they are in much more obvious connexion, namely, the basins of the Hast 
Indian Archipelago, the Seas of Japan, and those of Australasia,—as the 
following three lists will show.
