The type was taken in the Bay of Biscay by the * Porcu- 

 pine' and 'Travailleur ' expeditions, and together with the two 

 varieties by the ' Voringeu ' expedition. Its range has been

 fortunately no station is mentioned, and therefore at present, 

 until Dr. Jcffreys's MS. is published, some doubt must 

 attach to its being found in our area. Jeffreys gave me a 

 fine living exanii)le irom the dredging of 1869, but unfor-
