I. '21. 8 



General Distribution : -^The species has a wide range, ex- 

 tending as it does from the English Channel to the Equator 

 in the eastern Atlantic, and into the Mediterranean, the 

 Adriatic, and the Black Sea. The detailed records of these 

 regions are as follows : — 



Plymouth (Marine Biological Association), Boulogne (Tesch), 

 Bay of Biscay off Barquero (Milne-Edwards and Bouvier), Cape 

 Verde (Rathbun), Gaboon River (Milne-Edwards and Bouvier), 

 Marseilles (Roux), Genoa (Canestrini), Sicily and Naples (Costa), 

 Algiers (Lucas), Triest and Venice (Nardo), Spalato (Heller), 

 Gulf of Odessa (Kalichewsky), Novo Rossiisk, (Theodosia), 

 Eupatoria, and Sevastopol (Czerniavsky). It is also found in 

 the Red Sea, and at Singapore (Nobili), and there is a some- 

 what doubtful record, the specimen being damaged, from the 

 Mergui Archipelago (Alcock). 



It is considered highly probable by many authors that 

 D. brevirostris, Stimpson, is in reality the same species a 

 D. pugilator, in which case the geographical distribution of 

 the latter is extended to west and south-west Africa, specimens 

 of D. brevirostris having been taken in Simon's Bay (Stimpson, 

 Henderson, Stebbing), and in Great Fish Bay (Balss). 



Vertical Distribution : —Heller mentions this species as oc- 

 curring on the shore, especially in slimy places, and Alcock 

 places the limit of its range in depth at about 68 fathoms. 



Irish Distribution : --It has not been taken in Irish waters 

 but its occurrence in the English Channel leads us to expect 

 that it may yet be found on the south or south-west Irish 

 coast.
