We may now summarise the distribution of these 169 species, which extend into other 

 regions of the ocean outside the Kerguelen shallow-water area, as follows : — 



I 'lathy 'metrical Distribution. — It appears that of these 169 species, 92 species are 

 apparently not found deeper than the 150 fathoms line, the remaining 77 species are found 

 on both sides of the 150 fathoms line, of which 28 species cross the 1000 fathoms line 

 into_deep water.
