in doubt whether some of tlie very varied forms usually re- 
ferred to this type should not be distinguished by the name Ant.

Thomson. But I would postpone giving a decided opinion until I 
have been able to add considerably to my already large series of 
specimens from widely-separated localities.

patches to 150 fathoms off the north coast of Scotland but I have 
no record of it besides Stat. xiii. of the “Lightning” expedition,
