In this extensive work, following closely upon Gunther’s ‘ Challenger ’ 
repart, which could ouly be used by the author when the whole of the 
plates and part of the text had passed through the press, numerous dis- 
crepancies occur in the nomenclature as compared to that of the latter 
work ; but in an appendix, an attempt is made at bringing the two 
more in accordance. The names quoted in the systematic portion of the 
present Record are therefore, in many cases, those used in the appendix. 
The depths at which the specimens are supposed to have been obtained 
are given in metres.
