Of these, the five previously known species have their geographical 
and bathymetrical range greatly extended by the collection ; two of 
them were previously known only from the extreme North Atlantic. 
Through the courtesy of Prof. Verrill I am enabled to insert a descrip- 
tion and figures of a second species of the genus Pallenopsis from the 
deep-water dredgings of the Fish Commission, off the coast of Southern 
New England. 
Pycnogonum littorale, Srróm. 
The geographical and bathymetrical range of this species, already surprisingly 
great, is considerably increased by the Blake dredgings. The specimens are as 
follows,

The greatest depth hitherto recorded is 406 fathoms (off St. George's Banks, 
Smith and Harger, U. S. Fish Comm. 1872). At Eastport, Me., it occurs be- 
tween tide marks. The specimens appear in all respects similar to those from 
shallow water. The males are rather smaller than the females, A large female 
specimen measured, body (without rostrum), 10 mm. ; rostrum, 5 mm.¿ legs,

“Antenne” wanting. Palpi 10-(9?)-jointed. Accessory legs 11-(10 ?)- 
jointed. Legs without auxiliary claws upon the dactylus. A remarkable 
feature of this genus, as pointed out before, is the close union of the accessory 
legs with the palpi, and their complete separation from the ambulatory legs. 
In counting the joints of the palpi it is hard to say whether there are two dis- 
tinet, short basal joints, or only one articulated to a prominent process of the 
body. In our specimens there appear to be two joints. The point is of little 
importance save to avoid confusion in description. Other authors describe 
only one joint, 
Lhis genus, including, for the most part, species of colossal size, differs from 
Wood-Mason's genus Rhopalorhynchus only in the absence of distinct seg- 
™ tion of the body, and the greater development of the abdomen. These
