This is a very interesting discovery because it is the first record of the northern genus Andaniexis in the southern oceans. Strauss' record is open to doubt as pointed out under Parandania boecki {infra). The white patch of ocular pigment is present and even larger apparently than in abyssi. In the course of dissection an attempt was made to determine the presence or. Fig. 34.
