1903.] PLANKTON OF THE FAEROE CHANNEL. 127 
Mr. Stebbing points out “that this species has been again 
figured in great detail by Professor Sars ', and that Dr. Norman 2 
has with almost equal fulness represented his Cyclocaris faroensis. 
In Mr. Stebbing’s opinion the differences between the two sets of 
figures are purely casual, depending on individual or accidental 
‘conditions of the specimens examined, Further, while accepting 
provisionally the distinction between the boreal form and the 
‘Challenger’ C. tahitensis, he agrees with the view thus expressed 
by Dr. Norman, ‘so remarkable is the resemblance, that the 
differences seem scarcely varietal; but I hesitate to unite a form 
found in the Faroe Channel with one from so distant a locality as 
Tahiti.’ ” 
Canon Norman does not appear to have known of M. Chevreux’s 
name (which apparently has priority); his specimens were captured 
by the ‘Triton’ in the Faeroe Channel in 1882, at a depth of 
640 fathoms. Professor Sars’s specimens were apparently from 
various depths along the course of the ‘ Fram,’ the smallest 
specimens at the least depths. 
This species (omitting tahitensis as specifically distinct) is 
evidently a Polar and deep-water form, 
TRYPHANA MALMI Boeck. 
A single specimen, from haul 13 7, 100 fathoms to the surface, 
was identified by Mr. Stebbing. The previous records of its 
occurrence are: Hardangerfjord, 100 fathoms’; from Nansen- 
fjord to Hardangerfjord *; Folgeré, Sunde, Foldenfjord, 80 to 
100 fathoms °. Sars’ regards 7’. nordenshivldi Boeck and 7’, boechi 
Stebbing as being the males of 7’, malmi. Of these the former 4 
was described from the Sofia Expedition as off the Faeroe Islands 
at 65° N., the latter ® from 18° 8’ N., 30° 5’ W., at the surface. 
EvTHEMIsTOo sp. indet. 
A number of specimens too much broken for recognition 
occurred in the haul 15d at midnight. 
EUTHEMISTO BISPINOSA Boeck. 
Occurred in 15 (530 to 0 fathoms) and 15d (surface, at mid- 
night). The records of this species were exclusively Arctic, till 
it was captured by the ‘ National’ expedition in the Sargasso Sea 
between 218 fathoms and the surface.’ 
EvUTHEMISTO COMPRESSA Goés. 
A single specimen at 12 ¢ (450 to 320 fathoms). This also was 
believed to be exclusively an Arctic form, but has now been
