It is to be pointed nut that most of these stations are within the region of the Gulf Stream. 

 Bv M/'S ,,A r m a u e r H a n s e n" during the summer cruise of 1910:

The catches were made w^ith open nets. 

 By S/S ,.An ta r (• ti c" during the South Polar Expedition, 1901—1903: 



Station 70. b. Lat. 49" 56' S., long. 49" 56' W., 27/VI. 1902; dejDth 2700—0 m.; temj). -\- 1,67" 



and -f 3,36" ( • resp. : 1 mature ?• 

 Station 77. b. Lat. 62" 1' S.. long. 53'^ 57' W., 12/XII. 1902; depth 700—0 m. : 1 mature ?. 



This species thus appears to be found in the Atlantic and the Antarctic Oceans in 

 a region extending from about 60" N. lat. to 60" S. lat. 



\\'it}i regard to the depth at which it is found it is to be noted that the specimens 

 caught by G. H. FowLER with a closing net were at a depth of between 1350 and 1800 metres 

 and between 2700 and 3600 metres. — ..The two captures of this species give the first defuiitive 

 evidence that it is a deep-water form", p. 296 — and that the one captured by S/S ,,M i c h a e 1 

 S a r s" was found at so slight a depth as 150 metres( Station no. 51; ,,300 metres of wire out" 

 is probably to be reduced to the above number). 



With regard to the specimens brought home by the ,,V a 1 d i v i a" Expedition 

 G. W. MCIJ.ER writes in 1906 a (p. 136): .,Die Farbung* (vergl. Taf. V. Fig. 4. 5)" — red —
