Chierchia, as occurring at various points in the tropics at depths 

 between 382 and 546 fathoms; it occurs also in the Gulf of 

 Naples. Brady l records it as having been taken by the ' Chal- 

 lenger ' Expedition off Kandavu, Fiji, and between Marion and 

 Crozet Islands at unrecorded depths. 



HALOCYPRIA GLOBOSA Glaus. 



Six specimens in haul 1 3 i. 



This species is known from the surface and at various depths 

 in the Atlantic 2 , and is recorded from Gibraltar as taken by the 

 ' Yettor Pisani ' 3 . Of specimens taken by the ' Challenger/ the 

 record was in one instance lost 4 ; other specimens were captured 

 at the surface between Api and Cape York 5 . It seems to be a 

 form widely distributed both vertically and horizontally. 



CONCHOSCILLA DAPHNOIDES ClauS. 



Only three complete specimens, and one empty carapace, refer- 

 able to this genus were obtained. The specimens on which Glaus 

 founded the genus (with this single species) were all young males : 

 larger specimens of the genus, including females, were obtained by 

 Sir John Murray on H.M.S. 'Triton' in 1882, from the Cold 

 Area of the Faeroe Channel, and were described by Canon 

 Norman and Dr. Brady under the specific name of lacerta, not 

 without the " suspicion that they may perhaps belong to the adult 

 form of C. daphnoides " 6 . My own specimens were too few to 

 settle the point ; but as the two smaller specimens most resembled 

 in outline the figure of Glaus, and the two largest that of Brady 

 and Norman, I have left them provisionally under the older specific 

 name. 



In addition to Chun's hauls III. and IY., it has been captured 

 at 200 fathoms off Achill Head (daphnoides), the Faeroe Channel 

 as above (lacerta), and off Kandavu, Fiji, at an unrecorded depth 7 

 (daphnoides). 



COPEPODA. 



Mr. I. C. Thompson was kind enough to report on the 

 Copepoda in No. IY. of this series of papers 8 . Since that date, 

 the arrangement of three then doubtful hauls has required modi- 

 fication : 1 2 a, which was suspected at the time of capture to have 

 remained open too long, proves to have no apparent contamination 

 of undoubted surface forms, and has been moved to the Meso- 

 plankton ; 13 e was also suspected, in this case with justice, as
