Euchceta philippi occurred sparingly in material col- 

 lected between lat. 56° 22' N., long. 18° 43' W., and lat. 

 56° 5' N„ long. 12° 30' W. It has hitherto only been 

 known from the South Atlantic and South Pacific. 



Scolecithrix denies and S. minor were observed in 

 material collected in mid-ocean on both traverses, but 

 they occurred very sparingly. S. minor has already been 

 recorded from North Atlantic waters, but there does not 

 appear to be any record of S. dance having been found 

 north of the Mediterranean. 



Gentropages typicus occurred in the majority of the 

 collections taken between the Irish sea and lat. 56°30'N., 

 long. 24° 22' W., to lat. 56° 22' N., long. 28° 8' W. 



C. kamatus has apparently a more westerly distribution 

 than C. typicus, and was found in the majority of the 

 collections. The present collection shows a considerable 

 extension of the distribution of these two species, especially 

 the latter. So far neither of them have been recorded 

 south of the Canary Islands. Mr. I. C. Thompson records 

 C. typicus only from these Islands. 



Isias clavipes was only found in the collection taken 

 between Ireland and the Isle of Man. It is a common 

 species in the L.M.B.C. district. 



Temora longicornis occurred in the majority of the col- 

 lections. There appears to be little difference between 

 the forms from the British waters and those from the 

 American coast, whereby the American forms could be 

 ascribed to Dana's species, T. turbinata. The collection 

 shows a considerable extension of distribution of this 

 species. 



The presence of Eury temora affinis in considerable 

 quantity between Quebec and Bimouski suggests a plenti- 

 ful admixture of fresh water with the St. Lawrence in that 

 neighbourhood, this being usually a brackish water species.
