by P. Fischer (1. c. p. 190). Otherwise its occurrence in the 
Mediterranean would be somewhat difficult to explain. How 
far into the Mediterranean it penetrates I have not been 
able to settle; at any rate it has been found at Marseille, 
the Sea of Toscana, Bay of Naples and in the Adriatic (Carus 
I. c. p. 59; Pruvot (Golfe du Lion, 1. c. p. 21). On the Ameri- 
can side of the Atlantic the “Ingolf* has failed to detect any 
Paramuricea in the seas off western Greenland; but further 
south two ,species“ P. borealis and P. grandis are recorded 
by Verrill as taken, in depths from 101—855 Fathoms, off the 
Grand Banks, N. Scotia, and Martha’s Vineyard; both—at least 
the first named—are undoubtedly identical with P. placomus 
(perhaps also the P. tenuis Verrill, from the region round 
Barbados, and the P. hirta (Pourtalés) Hargitt & Rogers from 
Porto Rico may turn out to belong to the same). Thus, it 
seems to be very probable that the distribution of P. placomus 
really comprises a large part of the North Atlantic and that 
the discontinuty is only apparent. 
The bathymetrical range is very wide: from ca. 44 Fathoms 
(Nisita, Bay of Naples) 70—80 M. (tle Piou) to 855 Fathoms 
(eastern N. America).
