were found. (xii.) Callozostron mirabilis, Perc. Wright, of the family 
Priuvormsx, was dredged at the southernmost station, 153. This 
species apparently lives prostrate in the mud; (sxiii.) Thowarella 
antarctica (Val.), of the same family, was taken at station 148a, at 
550 fathoms. A good many other species were found in the area, 
but seldom below 150 fathoms and never below 350 fathoms. Hence 
they are not included here. 
(B.) ZOANTHARIA. 
(i.) AcTinIARIA. Numerous species of many families of sea- 
anemones have wandered into the abysmal depths of the ocean, but 
there are no entirely deep-sea families, and hence it seems probable 
that the Actiniaria of the great depths are comparatively recent 
denizens of that part of the earth’s surface. They have not developed 
many peculiar, characters. Perhaps the most striking is the ten- 
dency for the tentacles to diminish in size, and to be replaced by 
a row of holes (representing their terminal pores) surrounding the 
mouth. It must not be overlooked, however, that these holes are, 
in all probability, caused by the artificial breaking off of the tenta- 
cles at their base. In some cases the bodies of deep-sea anemones 
are more rigid and less gelatinous and contractile than those of 
shallow water forms, and the tentacles are clubbed and arranged in 
groups. These features, for instance, occur in the Corarrimo0rParps, 
which is perhaps, more than any other, an abysmal family, though 
not exclusively so. The following occur in our area:—(xiv.) 
Corallimorphus rigidus, Moseley, belonging to the family just 
mentioned, was taken at stations 146, 157 and outside the area 
at 195. (xv.) Tealidium cingulatum, R. Hertw., of the family 
Paractiom, one specimen taken at station 158, attached to a stone; 
(xvi) Liponema multiporum, R. Hertw., of the family Lipovzups, 
taken at station 147, and outside the area at station 305a; (xvii) 
Cereus spinosus, R. Hertw., of the family Sacarryos, taken at station 
157, and again outside the area at station 237; (xvili.) Bunodes 
minuta, It. Hertw., of the same family, taken at station 147; (xix.) 
Sicyonis crassa, R. Hertw., of the family Sicronm.s, taken at station 
147, with a rather cartilaginous, stiff body. 
Gi.) ANTIPATHARIA. But few species of this sub-order occur at a 
depth of more than 1000 fathoms, and none of these belong to the 
large group Antipathine. Two species were taken in our area, both 
at station 145A, from a depth of 310 fathoms, and hardly deserve to
