My friend the Rev. T. R. R. Stebbing, F.R.S., was kind enough 
to identify and count the specimens of this species. It would no 
doubt have occurred in more of the surface hauls had not my 
finest tow-net been devoted to the collection of Diatoms for the 
Scottish Fishery Board. It is no doubt a purely epiplanktonic 
form in the Faeroe Channel; a single specimen only was taken at 
20 d (500-400 fathoms) as against about 106 specimens in 7 hauls 
at the surface ; the single deep specimen was probably a sinking 
corpse. 
This species 1s, I believe, known only from the surface’; it 
ranges over the Baltic, Norwegian coast up to Vadsé, Denmark, 
Boulogne, Concarneau, Trieste. 
OSTRACODA. 
The representatives of this order belonged exclusively to the 
Halocypride, and were mostly taken in the mesoplankton. Only 
one species, Conchacia maxima, occurred sufficiently often to allow 
of a generalivation as to its horizon. 
The identification of a Halocypridis rarely satisfactory without 
dissection of the mouth-parts, which means destruction of the 
specimen. I have, however, dissected a considerable number, and 
feel at all doubtful only in the case of C. porrecta; I have pre- 
ferred, however, to leave the specimens under this species rather 
than create a new species on the strength of slight differences 
in the armature of the mandible. 
The table following shows those surface and deep-water hauls, 
made by Professor Chun between Finistére and the Canary Islands 
with open vertical nets*, which contained the same species as
