374 DR MURRAY ON THE DEEP AND SHALLOW- WATER MARINE FAUNA 



rhe distributional notes accompanying each species, it will be observed that 5 of the 

 species are true deep-sea forms, being unknown from depths less than 1000 fathoms ; 

 the other 12 species, though found in depths over 1000 fathoms in the region represented 

 by these eight Stations, occur outside this region in depths less than 1000 fathoms, and 

 6 of these species are recorded from shallow water under 150 fathoms. 



Four of the species (viz., Bathyactis symmetrica, Cythere dasy derma, Cytliere 

 (fictyon, and Gonostoma microdon) appear to be almost cosmopolitan, occurring in all 

 regions of the ocean, and in all depths from relatively shallow to very deep water.

We may now summarise the distribution of these 91 species which extend into 

 other regions of the ocean outside the area represented by these eight Stations, as 

 follows : — 



Bathy metrical Distribution. — It appears that of these 91 species, 51 species are 

 known to occur only in depths greater than 1000 fathoms, while 38 species are recorded
