THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 
Station 146. 
Antimora rostrata, n.g., n.sp. One specimen; obtained also at Station 320, 
600 fathoms. 
Macrunts JiUcauda , n.sp. Twelve specimens ; obtained also at Stations 157, 158, 
299, 323, and 325, 1800 to 2650 fathoms. 
annntus, Hector. Six specimens; obtained also at Stations 147, 157, 
Haloscturus macrochir} n.sp. Four specimens ; obtained also at Station V. 
Synaphobranchus bathybius, n.sp. One specimen ; obtained also at Stations 237 
and 246, 1875 and 2050 fathoms. 
In addition to the foregoing, the following are recorded in the Station-book: — 
Euplectella and several other Sponges (only two species reported), a few Hy droids, 
several Comatulae, Stylifcr on Echini, Nudibranch, and several species of Polyzoa. 
Excluding Protozoa, about 200 specimens of invertebrates and fishes were obtained 
at this Station, belonging to about 78 species, of which 66 are new to science, 
including representatives of 17 new genera ; 15 of the new species were not 
obtained elsewhere, while other 9 new species were taken also only at the neighbouring 
Station 147. 
AY illemoes-Suhm writes : “ The trawl brought up a rich harvest. On the wdiole it 
is important that the fauna in this southern latitude of the Indian Ocean has been found 
to bo essentially the same as in the deep water of the tropics. The great apparent 
frequency and size of the Pycnogonids is new, for they have hitherto been taken only 
three times in deep water, and then only small specimens. Of the other animals at least 
t»-n have been obtained in the tropical deep sea, especially on the coast of Brazil, viz., 
E-t lla, Umbellula, the soft Holothurian, Brisinga, Serolis, Chalarcispis [ = Eucopia], 
ami four of the fishes. The larg e A returns and gigantic Amphipod remind one very 
much of the features said to be peculiar to deep-sea (or even shallow-water) forms 
of the north. One of the fishes, the whitish eel-like animal [ = Synaphobranchus 
brtthyhms . had in its stomach several specimens of the little Echinolampas [= Ur echinus 
h,ires"inus], which came up in such quantities, evidently proving that it had fed at 
the bottom.”
