3414. Surface to 200 fathoms.* (Between Galapagos and Acapulco, 350

Nyctiphanes australis G. O. Sars. 



Challenger Schizopoda, 1885, p. 115, PL XX., PL XXI. figs. 1-7. 



Stations of the " Albatross " : — 



March 7, 1891. 8.30 p. m. Surface. (Gulf of Panama.) 

 Hyd. 2619. Surface to 1,000 fathoms, open part of net. (Off Galera Point.) 

 3388. Surface to 400 fathoms, open part of net ; nothing in the closed 

 part towed at 400 fathoms. (Gulf of Panama, 25 miles 

 from land.) 

 3409. Surface. (Bindloe I., Galapagos.) 

 3435. Surface. (Gulf of California). 



Stations of the " Survey " (between San Francisco and the Sandwich 

 Islands 2 ) : — 



52. Surface. 



54. Surface. Long. 129° 5' W. ; Lat. 35" 3' 30" N. 



74. Surface. Long. 133° 56' 30" W. ; Lat. 30° 4' 30" N. 

 542. Surface. Long. 124° 57' 30" W. ; Lat. 35° 31' N. 



Geographical Distribution. The "Challenger" obtained this species in 

 the Australian seas, on the surface, at night (off East Moncoeur Isl., Bass Strait; 

 off Cape Howe; off Port Jackson). The above named stations show that it is 

 not restricted to the Australian seas.

t Indicates that the specimen came from the depth noted in the closed part of 

 the Tanner tow-net. 



* Surface to 200 fathoms, or surface to xxx fathoms, hereafter indicates that the 

 specimen was brought up in the open part of the Tanner deep-sea tow-net, and that, 

 except as in the Gulf of California at no great distance from the coast in a closed 

 area, nothing was found in the closed part of the Tanner net when towed at sea at 

 300 fathoms or any greater depth, so that specimens brought up in the open part of 

 the net probably came from a depth of less than 300 fathoms. — A. Agassiz. See 

 Bull. M. C. Z., XXIII No. 1, 1892. 



2 A number of pelagic Schizopods collected by the "Albatross" during the 

 survey of the route for a submarine cable between San Francisco and the Sand- 

 wich Islands have been examined by Dr. Ortmann, and are included in this report.
