investigated by me and the original description oi' ('. Haddoni as worked out by (J. S. BHAI>V 

 and A. M. N<»I!MAN, but it seems to me extremely probable that my specimens belong to this 

 species and tiiat the deviations are due to the uncertainty of the original description. ,,Eine 

 Xacluintersuchung dieser Individuen wiire dringend erwiinscht, audi wegen der sicheren 

 Identitizierung der Art" (G. \V. MClleh, 19U6 a, p. 90). 



Of the names included in the above list of synonyms (,'. Haddoni, 1*. T. Cliove, 1905, 

 G. \V. MCller, 1908 and C. H. Ostenfeld and ('. \\'ESENBERG-LUi\D, 1909 have no descriptions 

 and identificatory figures. On account of the typical appearance of this species it seemed to 

 me correct, however, to include them as synonyms. The other names are accompanied by 

 verificatory information. 



Habitat: — A 1 1 a u t i c c e a n: 



S. A. E., PI. station 64 b, lat. 48" 27' S., long. 42" 36' W.; depth, 2500—0 m.; 23. VI. 

 1902: 10 mature males, 27 mature females and 3 juvenes; R. M. S. 254 and 255. 



Distribution: — The Atlantic, between lat. 60" N. (V. VAvra) and lat. 40" S. (G. W. 

 MOLLER) and Indian Ocean (G. W. MOller). 



The specimens investigated by me were thus caught somewhat south of the previously 

 established area of distribution.
