1907.] FROM THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS. [4ft] 



17° r K and long. 27° 24' AV. (Paris 0°) at a depth of 105 metres 

 there were obtained D'qihasia pinaMer (Ellis & Sol. 178(5), Aa- 

 tennularia ramosa Lamarck 1816, and Thecocarpiis myriophyUnin 

 var. hedoii Billard 1907. In lat. 1C° 52-16° 53' N. an<l long. 

 27° 30'-27° 26' W. at a depth of 400-580 metres, Dipliasia pinaster 

 and Thecocarpus myriophyllam bedoti were again found. 



The present collection is littoral, the greatest depth at wiiicli 

 specimens were gathered being 15 fathoms, while the majority 

 were obtained in shore-pools or in quite shallow water. Hence 

 it is not surprising to find that of the species previously described 

 from the Islands only one, Sertidaria vershiysi above mentioned, 

 should recur among Mr. Crossland's specimens. 



The collection contjiins in all 27 species, of wliicli 18— one of 

 them here represented by a new variety — have lieen previously 

 described. Several of these species, which are distribute<l among 

 14 genera, have been recorded from more than one locality. For 

 the remaining specimens 9 new species have been established, one 

 species being referred to a new genus. In all i-epresentatives of 

 20-genera occur in the collection.
