It happens to be another of those partly injured or disorganized freaks that Dr Sears has brought to notice. Abyla ingeborgae Sears, 1953. Complete specimens of this species at 'Discovery' Stations 295 and 297 and at 'Discovery II' Station 699, which enabled me to identify loose posterior nectophores (Text-fig. 78) from Stations 706 and 2639. Until the publication of Dr Sears's paper, I had identified all these Atlantic specimens as A. haeckeli, but anterior nectophores of the two types, haeckeli and ingeborgae, can sometimes be separated at once. A good figure of the full grown posterior nectophore of A. haeckeli is needed for comparison with that of A. -Rl. ---Tad.
