The Faguridie collected by the " Investigator " during the season 
1893-94, form a small but intereBting colleotioii of sSveuteen species, 
for the opportunity of examining which I am indebted to my friend 
Surgeon-Captain A, R. Audereim, 1. M. S., the Surgeon-Natui'alist of 
the " luvtJtitigator," The small iiamber of species is doubtless to be 
e.vplaiued by the fact that no special attention could h& puid to shallow- 
water foruis ; had time and opportunity permitted, tbe number of these 
might have been veiy hirgely increased. Of the seventeen apecies taken, 
two have been left unnamed, as the speciraena by which they aro 
represented are either vei-y young or are in an imperfect state of 
preservation. The collection also contains an undescribed Qlaucotko'i 
which appears to be a larval form, and 1 have therefore not given it 
a specific name. Of the fourteen named species no leas than seven aro 
described as new, aud the raraaiuing seven — six of which are from 
shallow water — belong to previously known species. The large pro- 
per iion of new species is not remarkable when the deep-water habicat 
of the majority is taken into consideration. The fourteen species are 
included in no fewer than ten genera. 
The specimens were taken at six dredging stations, at five of which 
the depth exceeded 100 fathoms, so that the collection may fairly be 
descnbed as a deep-wator one. The greatest depth at which Pagnrida 
were taken during the trip was 719 fathoms, off, the North Maldive 
Atoll, where two new species of the characteristic deep-water genua 
Farapagurm were obtained. The last dredging station on the list ia 
a shallow-water one o£E the east coast of Ceylon, where .fi'om 28 fath- 
oms six species were obtnined^ three of which are new. There are
