The data given above show that all of the GorgonidcC collected by the Siboga were 

 taken from comparatively shallow water, the deepest haul being from Station i 1 7 where the 

 depth, indicated by the chart, was 80 meters. 



But one species in the above list is known to occur outside of the region visited by the 

 Siboga, and that is Stenogorgia miniata which was previously recorded from the West Indies, 

 and also from the Azores from a depth of 454 meters. This is the same species which was secured 

 from the greatest depth yielding a member of the family Gorgonidae secured by the Siboga.
