This type was doubtless met with by the “Porcupine” in 1869, 
somewhere or other in the cold area. But there were no examples 
of it in the remains of the collection of Comatulce. which have 
come into my hands. The “ Triton ” dredgings increase its bathy- 
metrical range down to 466 fathoms, the “ Valorous ” Station in 
Davis Strait (410 fathoms), having been the deepest hitherto 
known. The three “ Triton ” specimens are all of them small, 
like those of the “Tegetthof” and “Valorous”; while they have 
a stifFer and less feathery appearance than the larger ones obtained 
farther north by the “ Alert ” and “ Willem Barents.” In fact, they 
more nearly resemble the small individual figured by Sladen ^ in 
their general characters. The dorsal processes on the lower joints of 
the basal pinnules are less prominent than usual ; while the peculiar 
characters of the first two pinnule-joints in the outer parts of the 
arms are by no means so marked as in larger individuals. This 
feature is one which is more or less visible in all the Arctic 
species, reaching its best development in Ant. eschrichti.
