OUGANIttMH FROM 
Surface- Not*. 
ation* La. to I 
Ophicroidka (Lyman, Zool. pt. 14). 
0}>hio(jlypha lepida , Ljunan, var. (?). Obtained also at Stations 45, 4G, 76, 343, 
and Bermuda, 420 to 1350 fathoms. 
Amphipoda (Stebbing, Zool. pt. 67). 
Platamon longimanus, n.g., n.sp. One specimen and fragment ; obtained at no 
other locality. Only species of the genus. 
Fishes (Gunther, Zool. pt. 57). 
Argyropclecm olfersii, Cuvier. One specimen (probably from surface or sub- 
surface waters) ; obtained at no other locality by the 
Challenger. Recorded from the Atlantic. This specimen 
showed signs of life and was highly phosphorescent when 
brought up. 
In addition to the foregoing, the following are recorded in the Station-book : — 
Astvopecten sp. (?), two Ophiuroidea of two species (only one species reported), 
several spec imeus of Eteone , probably a new species (see MTntosh, Zool. pt. 34, p. iil, 
wi ll tubes composed of Globigerina shells, Peneid shrimp of a fine red colour, and empty 
shells of Pteropoda. 
Excluding the Protozoa, over 20 specimens of invertebrates and fishes were 
obtained at this Station, belonging to about 9 species, of which 2 are new to 
science, a new genus being represented; the 2 new species and new genus were 
not obtained elsewhere. 
Willemoes-Suhm writes : “ One of the specimens of Eteone was found without its tube, 
and seamed to show some motion ; perhaps it was brought up alive, though all the rest 
wiTc dead. I spent the day in examining this little Eteone and in making drawings of 
it. Its anatomy showed nothing not already known from other species, though it is re- 
markable tor its blindness, all the other species of the genus known to me and to Claparbde 
(Anncil. de Naples) having got eyes.” 
Surface Organisms. — In the surface tow-nets specimens of Diphyes , Amphipoda, 
and Diacria [ = Cavolinia], were obtained.
