so-called emendations add greatly to the cumbrous appearance of a 

 name quoted fully. As an instance take 



Montaguia, BD. & D. emend. {Mo7itacuta, Turton) ovata, Jeff. 

 emend, (ovalis, Gr. 0. Sars.). 



How much simpler and better is Ifontacuta ovalis, Gr. 0. Sars ? 



It seems far better to leare all names in their original form, unless 

 the author himself subsequently corrects them, as Jeffreys did 

 Otnalogyra. 



The data of the various dredgings from which I have received 

 material are given below. In some cases I was furnished with the 

 number of the Station only, and the precise locality and depth cannot 

 be given ; this, however, is of but little consequence, for the different 

 logs in a station were not widely separated, and did not vary greatly 

 in depth.
