It is also a common Scottish Fig. 9, X 25. 3. Gandona elotigata, J. & K. (Fig. 0.) Larger and more elongated than the preceding forms, but much less abun- dant. It attains the length of -j\fth of an inch. Prof. Jones has some interesting remarks on the very wide distribution oi all these species in the Northern Hemisj)here, in connection with the fact that they were probably shallow-water, or even brackish-water species. This indicates means of transit for such animals, by shallow areas either now oceanic or now land. It concurs with many other facts in showing that the comparative rarity of great ocean depths and high mountain ranges.
