Only two specimens, both females, were taken by the U. S. Bureau 

 of Fisheries steamer Albatross in 1884, off Marthas Vineyard at a 

 depth of 1,525 fathoms in gray ooze, and one specimen, also a female, 

 from southeast of Georges Bank at a depth of 1,769 fathoms. These 

 specimens have been heretofore in the collection of the Peabody 

 Museum at Yale University, and have recently been placed in the 

 collection of the U. S. National Museum, where they have Cat. No. 

 38528. 



This species differs from Eurycope fragilis Beddard, 0 Eurycope 

 atlantica Beddard, and Eurycope caribbea Benedict, 6 the forms to 

 which it is most closely allied in the truncated character of the ex- 

 tremity of the terminal segment and in the absence of spines on the 

 dorsal surface of the body.
