' Porcupine,' 1869, Stats. 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 17, 18, 23 a, off W. 

 of Ireland, to 1435 fatli. ; 65, 68, 70, East and West of 

 Shetland ; 45 a, 45 b, S.W. of Ireland, 458 fath. 



Jeffreys does not state to which variety the specimens pro- 

 cured by the ' Porcupine ' belonged, but in 1870 I dredged on 

 Jeffreys's yacht the ^ Ospiey,' off Valentia, 112 fath., the 

 typical form closely agreeing with those of the Mediterranean. 

 This same form occurs on the coast of Norway, where I have 

 dredged it at the mouth of Fane Fiord, near Bergen, living in 

 50-120 fathoms. 



The form Macandrece^ which alone was found by Barlee, 

 Jeffreys, and myself in the Shetland seas, measures 34 millini., 

 and I have full-grown specimens which do not exceed 

 24 millim. ; the Valentia specimens are 43 millim. There is 

 considerable variation in the length and form of the digita- 

 tions. In a Naples specimen in my cabinet the upper spike 

 overtops the spire by half its own length, and in Mediter- 

 ranean examples the posterior spike has often a large bulbous 

 swelling at half its length.

'Porcupine,' 1869, St. 23a, to the south of Rockall, in 

 420 fath. ' Lightning,' St. 1, lat. 59° 20' N., long. 7° 5' W., 

 500 fath., north of Lewis. 



Distribution. North Atlantic, 'Valorous,' St. 12, 1450 fath.; 

 ' Voringen,' from 62° 44' N. to Spetsbergen, in 400-ll;-50 fath. 

 (Friele); 'Porcupine,' 1870, St. 22, off Lisbon, 718 fath. ; 

 Jeffreys (Proc. Zool. Soc.) also gives " between the Faroes 

 and Hebrides, ' Triton ' cruise " ; but it is not mentioned in 

 the account of ' Triton ' Mollusca, and therefore the locality 

 may have been north of lat. 60° N.
