(240 specimens.) Off Chesapeake Bay, stations 896-900, in 31 to 300 
fathoms. In 1881 it occurred at twenty-six stations, off Martha’s 
Vineyard, in 28 to 310 fathoms. It was particularly abundant at 
stations 918 and 922, in 45 and 69 fathoms, (190 specimens). It is 
not common below 200 fathoms. Off Delaware Bay, stations 1043, 
1047, in 130 and 156 fathoms. 
With this species, and probably belonging to it, we often took 
gelatinous, but rather firm, cylindrical egg-clusters, about 20" long 
and 4™™ in diameter, with the eggs in several rows. 
Closely resembles Pleuwrobrunchwa Nove-Zealandie in form and 
color. The latter is a littoral species.
