SUMMARY OF RESULTS. 365 
Macrurus Icptolepis, n.sp. One specimen (350 fathoms) ; obtained at no other 
locality. 
,, laevis, Lowe. One specimen (350 fathoms) ; obtained at no other locality 
by the Challenger. Recorded from North Atlantic 
and Mediterranean. 
In addition to the foregoing, the following are recorded in the Station-book : — 
Actinian, Polyps, Holothurians, Pycnogonid (Zetes sp. ?), several specimens of Chalaraspis 
ungnifer [ = Eucopia australis, Dana], Stylifer on the Rhizocrini, and Lithodomus in 
the Coral. 
Excluding Protozoa, over 300 specimens of invertebrates and fishes were obtained 
on this date, belonging to about 194 species, of which 100 are new to science, including 
representatives of 11 new genera ; 70 of the new species and 6 new genera were not 
obtained elsewhere. 
Willemoes-Suhm writes, with reference to the dredgings on 'this date : “ Except 
Salenia and Rhizocrinus, most of the animals taken in 350 to 400 fathoms were shallow- 
water forms, for it is very doubtful whether 'the PerLtacrinus is characteristic of the deep- 
sea fauna. Among the Polyzoa were some very fine small forms. The Crustaceans were 
all shallow- water forms, except perhaps SerSlis, whifih is probably an inhabitant of deeper 
water, at least in the tropics. The shells, including some fine specimens of Phorus, all 
belonged to shallow water, with the exception of Dentdlium, which may deseend to great 
depths, as does also apparently the fish-genus Macrurus, a specimen of which w 7 as taken

or Mediterranean at moderate depths. One of the Rhizocrini from 400 fathoms had on 
it Stylifer, with egg-capsules showing a rather thick pellucid envelope, in which the 
living young larvae, with their well-known nautiloid shell, were making rotations with 
their cilia. Some oval bodies, from 356 fathoms, which were completely covered with 
fragments of Pteropods, Foraminifera, &c., were found to be Holothurians. The dredging- 
in 30 fathoms brought up great masses of Sponges, Corals, and such animals as are 
usually attached to these colonies.” 
Moseley writes : “ From 30 fathoms came up two huge specimens of Astraea 
[ = Orbicella ] cavernosa showing that these rest on the bottom unattached to the rock. 
Inside w 7 ere some examples of Lithodomus dactylus, dead, closed in, and apparently killed, 
by the rapid growth of the Coral. A number of sea- weeds came up with them, including 
the Sargassum found at the surface, but here attached ; what we have seen on the 
surface is therefore evidently only detached from the bottom by currents or waves, ;is
