but has only been found in two places, viz. near Kagoshima (Pils- 
bry 1911, 1916), and now in the Sagami Bay. 
Most of the species brought home from Japan have a very 
wide distribution; the abundant Balanus trigonus might be thought 
to be characteristic of the region, and seems to be far more com- 
mon here than in other regions; it is nevertheless recorded from 
all Tropical and Subtropical coasts, and is also in Dr. Mortensen’s 
collections represented both from Hawaii and from New Zealand. 
A similar worldwide occurrence is recorded for Smilium acutum , 
Lepas anatifera, and Oxynaspis celata, but the latter species has 
developed a special forma japonica in the region. — On the other 
hånd the geographical range of the species Heteralepas japonica, 
Verruca albatrossiana, and Balanus dentifer cannot be given at present. 
The find of a Japanese Verruca is most interesting, especially 
when we recall Pilsbry’s words (1916): „Southward along the 
Asiatic coasts we encounter the genus first in the Philippine Ar- 
chipelago. The ivhole North Pacific is therefore ivithout species 
The Northern limit is now removed from the Philippines to Mi- 
saki. — 
Turning now to the New Zealand waters, we see that by far 
the richest collections have been made here; it is put down in the
