THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER.

OnnASlHMH FROM 
TUB DrpoBrr. 
Si/naphohranchus hrevidorsalis, n.sp. One specimen ; obtained also at Station 218. 
Myxine australis (Jenyns). Six specimens; obtained at no other locality by the 
Challenger. Recorded from Magellan Strait. 
In addition to the foregoing, the following are recorded in the Station-book : — 
Ilyaloncma sieholdii and another species (only one species noted above), Antipathes, 
several Lepadids parasitic on Macrocheira, small Amphipod, many specimens of a species 
of Pycnogonum. 
Excluding Protozoa, over 300 specimens of invertebrates and fishes were obtained 
at this Station, belonging to about 116 species, of which 84 are new to science, 
including representatives of 16 new genera ; 57 of the new species and 5 new genera 
were not obtained elsewhere. 
Willemoes-Suhm writes : “ Hyalonema sieholdii is, according to our interpreter, 
called by the Japanese “ umi-wata.” Martens gives its literary history and what he saw 
of it in Japan, but he did not know where the fishermen got the specimens, nor that 
Beryx, Macrurus, Macrocheira, &c., occur along with Hyalonema. An important 
result of our dredgings to-day is to have found out where these animals, interesting in 
many ways, live, and which of them live together, the more so as they are associated 
with members of the universal deep-sea fauna. In one of the Sponges I found small 
bodies containing what appeared to be a granulated embryo. The Coelenterata and 
Echinoderms were represented by numerous large and fine specimens, including 
Pourtalesia — a decidedly deep-sea form. There were several Annelids [Aplirodita, 
Clynu'ne, &c.), some with tubes, the most interesting being an Op)kelia. Lej)adids 
were found in different places, most of them on the back of the big crab. Another deep- 
sea genus, Munnopsis, was represented by a very interesting specimen with enormously 
long pereiopods, apparently a different species from that taken in the Antarctic. A small 
Amphipod seemed to be peculiar to the place, and there was a Schizopod with large 
globular eyes and loose carapace. The shrimps included a spiny and very solid species, 
j)reviously Liken several times in the deep sea, and several other species which almost 
invariably turn u],> in deep-water dredgings. Two middle-aged males of Macrocheira 
kdmj/feri were taken; the Japanese name is “tenanga kani,” and the animal has 
probably been long known to the Japanese. The fishes were so far interesting as they 
included species of Macnmis, llalosaui'us, and Scopelids, belonging to the great deep- 
sea fauna, and Beryx — a genus peculiar to the llyalonema-gxomA of Sctubal.” 
Tlie following species of Foraminifera and Diatoms were observed in the deposit from 
this Station (sec also Murray and Renard, Deep-Sea Deposits Chall. Exp.) : —
