o ( JI) DR MURRAY ON THE DEEP AND SHALLOW- WATER MARINE FAUNA 



Six of the above species are preceded by a mark of interrogation : — Phakellia 

 ventilabrum, Salenia hastigera, and Cytheropteron fenestratum have been recorded 

 only from depths over 100 fathoms, and might, therefore, not merit the title of shallow- 

 water species ; Parapagurus abyssorum is said to have been dredged from a deptli of 45 

 fathoms in Magellan Strait, but the author of the Challenger Report on the Anomura 

 regards this as an error, as he thinks a shallow-water habitat for the species is quite 

 out of the question ; the two species of Polyzoa (Bicellaria navicularis and Kine- 

 toskias pocillwn) are recorded from the coast of Brazil, " 32 to 400 fathoms," so that 

 it is doubtful whether they actually came from less than 150 fathoms.

LIST II g. 



In Iiist II. those species apparently limited to the Southern Hemisphere south of the 

 tropic of Capricorn are distinguished by an asterisk. A few of these species were, 

 however, obtained in depths less than 1000 fathoms in the Southern Hemisphere, as well 

 as in depths over 1000 fathoms among the twenty-nine Stations under consideration. 

 We give here a list of 16 such species, with an indication of the localities in which 

 each species occurred in depths less than 1000 fathoms. 



<)pldactis poa — Near Tristan da Cunha, 500 fathoms. 



Ophioglypha jejuna — Near Tristan and Sydney, 500 and 410 fathoms. 



,, meridionalis — Near River Plate, 600 fathoms. 



Ophiozona stellata — Near New Zealand, 700 fathoms. 

 Cerebratulus angusticeps — Near New Zealand, 10 fathoms. 

 Pltascolosoma catliarinai — Brazil, shore. 



Eunoa opalina — Magellan Strait, 245 fathoms [specimen from deep water is an eyeless variety]. 

 Argilkecia ebumea — Kerguelen, 20 to 120 fathoms. 

 Cythere norrnani — Near Heard Island, 150 fathoms. 



,, stolonifera — Cape, 15 to 20 fathoms. 

 Ci/theropteron fenestratum — Kerguelen, 120 fathoms. 



Elaxinojm* subrarinata — Bass Strait, Port Jackson, New Zealand, 30 to 50 fathoms. 

 Acanthomunna proteus — Near New Zealand, 700 fathoms. 

 Serolis neoera — Near River Plate, 600 fathoms. 

 Venus (Chamelaia) mesodesma — New Zealand, shore [the localities Valparaiso and Philippines, assigned to this 



species, require verification]. 

 Magu sella ftexuosa — Palklands and Patagonia, 5 to 12 fathoms.
