' From west to oast the genus lAUurola may be lonsidereil as rangir.;^ round the world, while from uorth to south 

 a range is shown of more than ninety degrees, to which may be added about thirty degrees northward, since Laiice4>la 

 clausii was taken in Davis Strait, hit. 72' N. It is remarkable that each of the Challenger specimens was labelled, 

 not, like most of the Hyperina with the word " surlace," but with the number of fathoms of the particular station, 

 indicating that the specimen was supposed to have come from the great depth mentioned. It may be conjectured that 

 the smallness of the eyes and the soft meiubranaeeous character of the integument are connected with residence in the 

 abysses of the ocean, ami the latter character perhaps also with a capacity for passing without injury from the bottom 

 to the surface. The pleopods are well developed, so that the animal may be itself a good swimmer, but, to account for 

 the wide distribution of the genus, it may be supposed that the creature often avails itself of extraneous assistance, the 

 retractile claws of the last three pairs of per;eopods being well adapted for giving it a firm hold upon animals of ranch 

 greater size and speed. — (Stebbing, Zool. Vliall. E.rp., part 67, p. 1317.) 



- The range of the genus Phnmiiiia as illustrated by the Challenger specimens is between lat. 36' 23' N. and 50° 1 ' S., 

 and over a space of 223 degrees between long. 13° 5' AV. and 123' 4' E. Specimens from the Shetland Isles c;irrv 

 the range in latitude up to 60= N. in the Atlantic ; Dr Streets e.xtends it to 40' N. in the Pacilic : and since Dr Giles 

 has added the Bay of Bengal to so many other localities from which the genus is known, its range from east to west 

 may fairly be considered as extending all round the world. — (SrEniuxo, Zool. Chall. A'.r/)., part 67, p. I3(il.)
