Habitat: — This species was captured by S/S ,,M i c h a e 1 S a r s" during the ,,N o r t h 

 Atlantic Deep Sea E x p e d i t i o n" 1910 at the following stations: (all the hauls 

 were made with open net). 



Atlantic Ocean: 

 Stat. 23. Lat. 35" 32' N., long. 7" 7' 



Distribution: — This species has been observed by previous expeditions at a number of 

 stations in the Atlantic and I n d i a n Ocean s from lat. 43" N. to lat. 53" S. By 

 means of the finds mentioned above it has been proved that the species is found in the 

 Atlantic rather considerably more north — up to lat. 56" 33' N. (Station 98). In the latter 

 case it is probably a specimen carried north by the Gulf Stream. 



With regard to its distribution vertically we may state with a certain amount of pro- 

 bability that its natural habitat is in moderate depths, from which it makes excursions into 

 lesser depths.
