Specimens which I have ascribed to this species were obtained in a surface tow- 

 uetting collected at Station 14, 21° 28' N., 22° 40' W., on 28th November 1902. The 

 specimen represented by the drawing measured about 1 '5 mm.

A single specimen of this species occurred in a surface gathering collected at 

 Station 14, 21° 28' N., 22° 40' W., 28th November 1902. This species has been 

 found fairly common in Loch Etive, Scotland, and is said to be very abundant 

 among the Lofoten Islands down to 300 fathoms (G. O. Sars), while Dr Claus reports 

 it as having been taken at a depth of 1500 metres in lat. 37° 45' N., long. 13° 38' W. 

 C. elegans is also a Mediterranean species. Dr G. W. Miiller gives its distribution 

 as extending to lat. 35° in the South Atlantic* Paraconchcecia gracilis, Claus, is 

 considered by Dr G. W. Muller to be identical with C. elegans, G. 0. Sars.
