u A single specimen was taken in 400 fathoms. The single 
specimen of the 6 Flying Fox' was taken in 315 fathoms. 
Canon Norman sends me the following notes on this 
species : — c Mr. Pocock seems to have been unaware that 
Ebalia nux had been admirably figured by Prof. A. Milne- 
Edwards. The following is the distribution of the species 
as far as is known to me : — 
u (e Porcupine,’ 1869, Stations 1, 3, 6, 11, all off the west 
and south-west of Ireland, in 90 to 1630 fath. ; also Station 
46, lat. 59° 23' N., long. 7° 4' W., that is to the north-west 
of the Butt of Lewis, on the margin of the Holtenia ground, 
in 374 fath. 
u i i Porcupine,’ 1870, Station 8, lat. 48° 13' N., long. 9° 11' 
W., 257 fath. ; Station 10, off Cape Finisterre, 91 fath., 
Vigo Bay; Station 13, off Cape Mondego, coast of Portugal, 
220 fath. ; Station 26, off south coast of Portugal, 364 fath. ; 
and in the Mediterranean, off Cape de Gatt, 60 to 160 fath., 
and on the Adventure bank, 92 fath. 
u c L Travailleur ’ Expedition, 1880. In this expedition 
Ebalia nux was taken many times in the Bay of Biscay off 
the Spanish coast. My notes taken on board give me 
July 17th, 666 metres ; July 23rd, 1107 to 1353 metres. 
u 4 * Travailleur/ 1881. In this year’s expedition Prof. 
Milne-Edwards reports it as again taken in the Bay of Biscay 
and also in the northern part of the Mediterranean, 300 
metres. 
u i i Flying Fox ’ and * Research ’ trawlings off the south- 
west coast of Ireland. Profs. A. Milne-Edwards and Marion 
courteously recognize my MS. name Ebalia nux\ but if that 
is rejected it will stand as Ebalia nux , A Milne-Edwards.’ ”
