CABLE HAULS OF MARINE INVERTEBRATES.—HONEYMAN, 269 
Epidermis hairy. 
Considering it to be new, we name it Arca nine. 
There is also a very minute pearly circular bivalve, inc. gen. 
There was a large number of specimens of a beautiful Pecten. 
These are transparent and pearly. The molluscs are seen through 
the shell. The outer edge and the growth lines have round 
tubercules occurring at frequent intervals. The small shells re- 
semble fish scales, and can only be searched up with a magnifying 
glass; Measurement of largest — width, 25 m. m.; height, 20 
m.m.; hinge, 14 m.m. Supposing it to be new we name it 
Pecten Hicksii. On Cable II there is also a Pecten and valve of 
small anomia. 
GASTEROPODA. 
We have two perfect specimens of Trichotropis. 
Measurement of largest—mouth, 12 m. m. x 10 m. m. 
Height, 10 m. m. 
No opercle. 
Tongue exposed. 
Epidermis hairy ; mouth and lines of growth fringed with hair. 
It is unlike Z'richotropis borealis, as figured by Gould. We 
give it a provisional name—TZrichotropis Hamiltonensis. 
Attached to the cable and having its impression, was a beau- 
tiful round group of molluse egg capsules. There is little doubt 
that they are connected with this gasteropod. Among the hem- 
pen debris we found a large number of similar egg capsules 
empty, and also a number of shells of trichotropis of various 
sizes ; some very small. 
PISCES. 
In the debris of Cable I we also found a fish scale of peculiar 
structure. Is it of a deep sea fish ?
