Krithe producta, G. S. Brady ('80), p. 114, pi. 27. figs. 1 a-j ; Brady & Norman ('89)

This species has a wide distribution, ranging from the N. Atlantic to the 

 Southern Ocean. It does not appear to have been recorded from any typical 

 S. Pacific areas before it was noted from Funafuti {vide supra). Egger 

 notes it from near Australia and Kerguelen Island. It is most at home in 

 some of the deepest parts of the ocean. 



Occurrence.— %id.. 2, 1489 fms. ; 3, 2715 fms. ; 10, 1485 fms.; 11, 1417 fms. ; 

 13, 1050 fms. ; 19, 1995 fms. ; 20, 1215 fms. ; 21, 2195 fms. ; 45, 2107 fms. ; 

 48, 2298 fms. ; 68, 1143 fms. ; 105, 2400 fms. 



Krithe tumida, G. S. Brady. 



Krithe tumida, G. S. Brady ('80), p. 115, pi. 27. figs. 4a-rf; Egger ('01), p. 451,:pl. 4. 

 figs. 19-21. 



Dr. Brady records this species from one locality only, in the S. Atlantic, 

 at a depth of 1900 fathoms. Egger obtained it in the ' Gazelle ' dredgings 

 off the W. coast of Australia at 357 metres. 



A few typical valves occur in the present series. 



Occurrence.— ^i^. 19, 1995 fms. ; 20, 1215 fms. 



Krithe hyalina, G. S. Brady. 



Krithe hyalina, G. S. Brady ('80), p. 115, pi. 27, figs. 8 a-d. 



This species occurred in only one sample of the ' Challenger ' dredgings, 

 in the Inland Sea of Japan, 15 fathoms. 



Occurrence. — Sta. 3, 2715 fms. (one valve) ; 20, 1215 fms. (two valves). 



Krithe angusta, Brady Sf Norman. 



Krithe angusta, Brady & Norman ('89), p. 181, pi. 17. figs. 10-13. 

 K -prcelonga, Egger ('01), p. 450, pi. 4. figs. 11, 12. 



It is of great interest to note the occurrence of the above species in relative 

 abundance at Funafuti, since Canon Norman states that " It has only as yet 

 been found in the Norwegian Seas.'^ Dr. Egger obtained his examples of 

 K. proelonga, which are without much doubt identical with the above species, 

 off Mauritius at 411 metres. 



Occurrence.— ^i^. 3, 2715 fms. ; 13, 1050 fms. ; 20, 1215 fms.
