' ScalpeUum dantrinii is the large.st species of Scalpellum known. Only a single specimen of it was dredged 

 during the cruise of the Challenger attached to a manganese nodule. — (Hoek, Zool. Chall. Exp., part 35, pp. 110-111.) 



- Of this splendid species [fjcalpelhim eximiurii] only a single specimen was dredged, attached to a piece of pumice- 

 stone. — (Hoek, Zool. Chall. Exp., part 35, p. 100.) 



^ This beautiful species [Smlpdlum velutinum] is represented by a single specimen. Provisionally there must be 

 referred to the .same species three smaller specimen.s, which were dredged near the southern point of Portugal ; yet I 

 am not quite sure that they belong really to the same species. . . . The two Stations from which this species was 

 obtained are both in the Atlantic ; the one (near Cape St Vincent) has about the same northern latitude as the other 

 (north of Tristan da Cunha) has southern latitude. — (Hoek, Zool. Clmll. Exp., part 35, pp. 96, 99.) 



■* Verruca gihhosa is the largest and the most Ijeautiful of the deep-sea species. — (Hoek, Zool. Cliall. Exp., part 35, 

 p. 134.) 



^ The specific name [of Awlanm abyssoruin] refers to the great depth from which this little creature was obtained, 

 but is principally designed to call attention to its close relationship with the northern species Andania ahysd. — 

 (Stebbing, Zool. Chall. Expi., part 67, p. T42.) 



^ The specific name [of Orchomene ahyssorum] has been given in allusion to the great depth from which the species 

 is reported to have come. The single specimen was mounted during the voyage. Had this species been taken within 

 any reasonable distance of Orchomene musculosus, the resemblance is so great that one might have been tc-ni]ited to 

 disregard the points of difference as due to some other cause than difference of species. It might be an accident that 

 has caused one to be reported from the surface, and the other from so great a depth as 1900 fathoms, but that the 

 Stations at which the two species were obtained are separate<l by nearly half the circumference of the globe is a 

 circumstance not open to any such explanation. — (Stebbing, Zool. Clmll. Exp., part 67, pp. 678-9.) 



' The specific name [of I'odocerus hoeki] is given in compliment to Dr P. P. C. Hoek, who in 1882 gave a brief 

 description and some figures of a new species, Pmlocerm tuJjerculatm, among the Crustacea of the "Willem Barents" 

 Expe<lition. This species was obtained in lat. 71° 23' N., long. 49° 38' E., and judging only from the. preliminary 

 de.scription and the figures of the two guathopods, third uropods, and telson, presents an extraordinary resemblance to 

 the Challenger species. . . . Considering the enormous distance between the places of capture, I have not thought it 

 right to identify the two forms. Had they belonged to a single species of so wide a distribution, it is highly improb- 

 able that it would have escaped discovery for so long, and then suddenly have been discovered almost simultaneously 

 at two enormously distant points. — (Stebbing, Zool. Cliall. Exp., part 67, pp. 1140-1.) 



The single specimen [of Podocerus tuberculatus] described by Dr Hoek was taken in 1879 in lat. 71° 23' N.,
