92 EXPEDITION OF THE "ALBATROSS," 1S99-1900. 



caris, the same that was obtained in the trawl by the '• Cluillenger " 

 (PL 123) in a depth said to be two miles deep. We may safely 

 assume that the majority of the Gn;ithopliausia3 and Schizopods are 

 not from the bottOMi, but live near the surfoce ; also that all Macrurans 

 with swimming appendages are not necessarily from the bottom. Pena^ids 

 with and without powerful swimming appendages, but long-legged types 

 like Nematocarcinus, come from the bottom. Dr. Moore, who carefully 

 examined the three species of Macrurans we brought up from the un- 

 successful trawl, in 3088 fathoms, says they have all been found at less 

 than 100 fathoms. The same may be said of the fishes collected in that 

 haul.

 surface. Several red Penceids and so-called deep-sea fishes. Euphausia^, 

 Sergestes larvae, Annelids, and fragments of transparent pelagic Annelids, 

 Sagittse, young Sternoptyx and other species of young fishes, Salpte, Aglaura,

 tained in haul from 830 fathoms !
