Through the kindness of Dr. Anton Dohrn, Director of the 
Zoological Station at Naples, I have been afforded an opportunity 
of examining the ri eh material of Schizopoda collected by the Maia 
and Puritan during cruises in the Mediterranean in 1901 and 1902. 
The eolleetions are of special interest, as being the first of an 
extensive nature, which have been made, of the offshore and bathy- 
pelagic fauna of the Mediterranean and a perusal of Dr. Lo Bianco's 
reports shov^s that they have revealed the presence of an extremely 
rich and populous pelagic life in that sea. 
Practically the entire material of the Sehizopoda was sent to 
me, as a comparison of the tables I give below of the species col- 
lected by each expedition, v^ith Dr. Lo Bianco's lists, will show. 
In the tables I indicate only the material I have aetually examined. 
In some few cases I have ventured to differ from the inter- 
pretations which Dr. Lo Bianco has placed on some of the species. 
I give below a list of those species, plaeing in parallel columns the 
names under which they appear in Dr. Lo Bianco's lists and the 
names by which I believe they should be recorded.
