rare, and from one cause or other may easily have been overlooked 

 hitherto in the examination of recent dredgings. 



The depth at which the deposit may originally have taken place 

 can only be determined approximately. Comparing the list of 

 species with similar lists compiled from material collected on the 

 ' Challenger ' Expedition at various Pacific stations within the tropics, 

 it is found to include several forms not recorded from depths of less 

 than 129 fathoms, and certain others of which the minimum depth 

 is about 150 fathoms ; besides a few, relatively unimportant, so far aa 

 our present purpose is concerned, which are best known from much 

 deeper water. oS'evertheless, judging from its general facies, the 

 Ehizopod-fauna is one that I should expect to find in a deposit 

 forming at from 150 to 200 fathoms (more rather than less) in tho 

 neighbourhood of any of the volcanic islands of the Pacific.
