 the .solitiiry form measuring G cm. 



This .species was obtained by the ' Ciiallenger,' near tlic Antarctic ice, at 

 Stat. 152, Lat. G0° 52' S., Long. 80° 20' E., .so the present is not a new record for 

 Antarctic sea.s. It has also been finind, in the gregarious form, at the localities : — 

 "Dec. 20 off Islan«l, air 32'' F., water 32° F." — 32 small specimens up to 18 mm. 

 in length; " De<;. 20 off I.sland, air 32° F., sea 32° F." — 12 specimens ui* to 

 15 nmi. in len"th ; " 17. xi. 01 " — a1)out a dozen specimens up to 3"5 cm. and .some 

 small fragments of chains. 



From the locality, "10. xi. 01, Lat. 01" 40' S., Long. 14V^ 12' E.," there are 

 204 spec^imens of the aggregated form up to 4 cm., and of the .solitary form up 

 to cm. 



The solitary form was also f()un<l at " 51° 50' S., 170° O' E. " — one .specimen torn, 

 and in bad condition, probably measuring 8 cm. ; " Dec. 29, Lat. 09° 25' S., Long. 

 175° E., sea 325° F., air 30° F." — one specimen measuring 4'5 <;m. ; and "Winter 

 Quarters, 29. v. 03, No. 4 hole, 5 fathoms" — one .specimen, damaged at p(j3terior end, 

 measuring 1 cm.

This was found in the gregarious form on " 2. i. 02 " — six small specimens up to 

 2 cm.; and in the solitary form at "Dec. 25, Lat. 07° 5' 8., Long. 179° 30' E., 

 air 31^° F., sea 31.]° F." — four large specimens in bad ccjudition, 5 t<» cm. in length*; 

 " 3. i. 02 " — three specimens, the largest measuring 55 cm. ; and " 8. i. 02" — 

 one specimen, measuring cm. In this .specimen the muscle bands are narrower, more 

 regular, and less swollen dorsallv tlian in the solitary form of the species.
