I2 CRUSTACEA MALACOSTRACA. 



in 330670 fm. (Adensamer). It has been taken off the east coast of America at a little below 40 N. L,., 

 225 318 fm. (Smith), if Smith's determination is correct; A. M.-Edwards & E. L. Bouvier (op. cit. p. 151) 

 namely considered a form taken by the "Blake" at Grenada as belonging to an independent species, 

 L.furcillatns A. M.-E., and the specimens mentioned by Smith belong to L. furcillatus A. M.-E., so that 

 the question arises whether L. furcillatus is only a variety or an independent species. In the "Chal- 

 lenger" L. Thomsoni is given from the Agulhas Bank, South Africa, 35 4' S. L,., 18 37' E. L., 150 fm. 

 Doflein states that it has been taken several times in the waters off Cape Colony in so small depths, 

 as 56, 82 and 168 fm., further in the Indian Ocean at St Paul, Sumatra and East Africa in depths 

 from 357 to 459 fm. Miers did not venture to separate a specimen taken near Sydney in 410 fm. as 

 specifically distinct from L. Thomsoni, but this statement of its occurrence at New Holland requires 

 further confirmation. 



If it should be confirmed by the investigations of a Zoologist who is an excellent judge of 

 species that the determinations from all the localities mentioned are correct, this species must have 

 an extremely wide distribution. It occurs as a rule in depths between ca. 250 and 700 fm., though 

 met with at a little less than 60 fm. and down to ca. 1130 fm.

Occurrence. The species has not been taken by the "Ingolf, but by later expeditions: 

 South of Iceland: 6257'N. L., 19 58' W. L., 500 fm., ("Thor" 1903); i spec. 

 South-West of the Faeroes: 61 is'N. L., 935'W. L., 500 fm., ("Thor" 1904); 2 spec. 



61 7' 9 33' 425460 fm., ("Michael Sars" 1902); i spec.

59 28' 8 i' 580-687 fm., ("Michael Sars" 1902); 8 spec. 



Distribution. This species was originally taken on the so-called "Holtenia ground" in the 

 warm part of the Faeroe Channel (Wyv. Thomson). Later it was taken between Norway and the Shet- 

 lands at 61 41' N. L., 3 19' E. L,., 220 fm. (G. O. Sars); S. W. of Ireland in 110250 fm. (Pocock); the Gulf of 

 Gascogne in 345 and 511 fm. (Caullery); at the Azores in 450 to 620 fm. (A. M.-Edwards & Bouvier); 

 at various places along the south-west coast of Europe and the north-west coast of Africa, from the 

 Gulf of Gascogne to the Canary Isles and even more southerly to 25 39' N. L,., 18 22' E. L., in depths 

 from 1 86 to 724 fm. (A. M.-Edwards & Bouvier).
