One of the eggs, on same scale. I have been unable to find any record of a marine animal living under conditions similar to those described for M. poly- morpha. Many littoral forms are known to haunt caves on the sea-coast, but none of these show special adaptations to this habitat and none are specially related to abyssal forms. It would be of great interest to ascertain whether the species or any related forms occur on the shore or in shallow water in the neighbourhood of Lanzarote. In view, however, of the exclusively deep-sea habitat of the other species of the genus this is unlikely. It seems more probable that the present inhabitants of the cave are the descendants of some deep- water species which, having been carried * into the fissures by * Chun has given an interesting account of the way in which animals.
