" A single specimen was taken in 400 fathoms. The single 

 specimen of the ' Flying Fox' was taken in 315 fathoms. 

 Canon Norman ser.ds me the following notes on this 

 .'^jjecies : — 'Mr. Poeoek seems to have been unaware that 

 Ebalia mix had been admirably figured by Prof. A. Milne- 

 Edwards. Tlie following is the distribution of tlie species 

 as far as is known to me : — 



""Porcupine,' 1869, Stations 1, 3, 6, U, all off the west 

 and south-west of Ireland, in 90 to 1630 fath. ; also Station 

 46, lat. .09° 23' N., long. 7° 4' W., that is to the north-west 

 of the Butt of Lewis, on the margin of the Ilolteuia ground, 

 in 374 fath. 



" ' ' Porcupine,' 1870, Station 8, lat. 48° 13' N., long. 9° 11' 

 W , 257 fatli. ; Station 10, off Cape Finisterre, 91 fath., 

 Vigo Bay; Station 13, off Caj)e Mondego, coast of Portugal, 

 220 fath. ; Station 26, otf south coast of Portugal, 364 fath. ; 

 {ind in the ^lediterranean, off Cape de Gatt, 60 to 160 fath., 

 and on the Adventure bank, i)2 fatii. 



<■<■ ' ' Travailleur ' Expedition, 1880. In this expedition 

 Ebalia nux was taken many times in the Bay of Biscay off 

 the Spanish coast. My notes taken on board give me 

 July 17th, 666 metres ; July 23rd, 1107 to 1353 metres. 



""Travailleur/ 1881. in this year's expedition Prof. 

 ]\lilnc-Edwards re})orts it as again taken in the Bay of Biscay 

 and also in the northern part of the Mediterranean, 300 

 metres. 



" * ' Flying Fox ' and ' Research ' trawdings off the south- 

 west coast of Ireland. Profs. A. Milne-Edwards and Clarion 

 courteously recognize my MS. name Ebalia nux; but if that 

 is rejected it will stand as Ebalia nux, A Milne-Edwards.' "
