324 
Station 101. Ami hipoda (St ebbing, Zool. pt. 67). 
Cj/stis ma spinosum (Fabricius). Two specimens; for distribution see Station V. 
Macrcra (Spence Bate, Zool. pt. 52). 
Gennadas parvus, u.g., n.sp. One specimen ; for distribution see Station 45. 
Polyzoa (Busk, Zool. pt. 30). 
Bugula reticulata, n.sp., var. unicornis, nov. Many specimens; for distribution 
see Station 68. 
Fishks (Gunther, Zool. pt. 57). 
Stvmoptyx diaphana (Hcrm. ). One specimen (probably from near the surface); 
obtained also at Stations 106, 107, 159, 171, 214, 218, and 
235, 500 to 2150 fathoms. A widely-distributed species. 
Gonostoma microdon, n.sp. Two specimens; for distribution see Station 23. 
Astroncsthes niger, Rich. Two specimens (probably from near the surface) ; obtained 
also April 28, 1876, in the North Atlantic. A common 
pelagic form in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. 
Xeu ichthys infans, n.sp. One specimen ; obtained also at Station 121, 500 fathoms. 
Recorded subsequently from West Indies. In the stomach 
of this specimen was a red deep-sea prawn. 
In addition to the foregoing, the following are recorded in the Station-book : — Fragment 
■ f Sponge, many worm-tubes, Sipunculvs, anterior part of large Balanoglossus, Caridid 
rin p and five species of Peneid shrimps, one with parasitic worm (only one shrimp 
reported above). 
Excluding Protozoa, about 70 specimens of invertebrates and fishes were obtained at 
this Station, belonging to about 20 species, of which 8 are new to science, including 
representatives of 4 new genera ; 1 of the new species was not obtained elsewhere. 
Willomoes-Suhm writes: “The trawl brought up a fine lot of animals, among which 
t • hriiaps were the most conspicuous, some being of a fine red colour and considerable 
-l/o. There were in all nine individuals belonging to six species, one a true Caridid, the 
..tie r- belonging to the Peneid family. One of the specimens had been attacked by a 
long worm, whieh was very lively when I first saw it, and was rolled up in the shrimp 
like a Gordius in a Locusta. As the worm was afterwards seen to separate from the 
hrimp, it had pnbably only attacked the shrimp after death. Among the worms was a 
fragment of Balanoglossus, which had probably been of considerable length, but owing 
t lie extrerm oftness of the tissues, only the anterior part came into our hands. It 
"..is distinguished by very lively colours, the head being yellow, the collar-like ring bright

of t he branchial apparatus, and between them the so-called median vessel, while the lower
