THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 
sun..* 70. Lam kllipranchiata (Smith, Zool. pt. 35). 
Verticordin tomiata (Jeffreys). Two valves; obtained also at Station 106, 1850 
fathoms. 
Led a excisa (Philippi). Two valves ; obtained at no other locality by the Challenger. 
Modiolarxa semigranata (Reeve). Obtained at no other locality by the Challenger. 
Recorded from the Canaries. Fossil — (?) 
Gasteropoda (Watson, Zool. pt. 42). 
Ianthina exigua , Lamarck. Obtained also at Stations 73, 75, 78, and 120, 450 to 
1000 fathoms. A widely-distributed species. 
Columbella sp. (?). 
Pleurotoma (Mangelia) sp. (?). 
Polyzoa (Busk, Zool. pt. 30 ; Waters, pt. 79). 
Menipca clausa, n.sp. Obtained at no other locality. (Waters places it as a 
synonym of Scrupocellaria marsupiata, Jullien, obtained by 
the “ Travailleur,” north-west of Spain, 2018 fathoms.) 
Farciminario, gracilis, n.sp. Obtained also at Station 122, 32 to 400 fathoms. 
Pifaxaria minuta, n.g., n.sp. One fragmentary specimen; obtained at no other 
locality. 
In addition to the foregoing, the following are recorded in the Station-book: — 
Sponge, Pennatulid, several Polyps, Starfish, and small spiny blind Isopod. 
Excluding Protozoa, nearly 50 specimens of invertebrates were obtained at this 
Station, belonging to about 24 species, of which 11 are new to science, including repre- 
sentatives of 2 new genera ; 5 of the new species were not obtained elsewhere. 
Willemoes-Suhm writes: “The last three trawlings (June 24, 25, and 26), besides 
procuring some interesting animals, seem to show that we have entered a deep-sea region 
when* decidedly northern forms prevail. For example, on the 24th the common northern 
Pal-ythoa w;us found, this time infesting the house of a large Pagurus distinguished by 
immense claws on its ambulatory feet; also a blind Isopod belonging to the eyeless 
Munopsidie family, all the members of which occur iu high northern latitudes. On the 
25: h there was :t large red Schizopod which, though showing some Phyllopodal characters,
