. The depths of the ocean; a general account of the modern science of oceanography based largely on the scientific researches of the Norwegian steamer Michael Sars in the North Atlantic. Oceanography. Fig. 425. Notosiomus, n. sp. Nat. size, 17 cm. yielded more of them. Stil which a whole tubful were larger are the bottom-living Peneidae, of taken south of the Canaries in our trawl (Station 41, 2605 metres), some of them 30 to 40 cm. long, with feelers 4 or 5 feet long. One of the most remark- able genera is Eryoneicus, of which twelve species are known, easily recognisable by their inflated balloon-like bodies (see Fig. 426). They are allied to Pentacheles, Polycheles (Fig. 427), etc., and Sund, after examining the twenty - four specimens col- lected by the " Michael Sars," expects to be able to show that they are really the larvae of these abyssal bottom-living decapoda. Thus, what might be regarded as a new species of Eryoneicus is in reality a larval stage of a previously known decapod, PolycJieles sculptus. During the first cruise of the " Michael Sars " in the Norwegian Sea I succeeded in capturing the two species Pasiphceaprinceps and Hymenodora glacialis (Fig. 428) in deep hauls. Pasiphcea probably lives sometimes on the bottom, sometimes in midwater, and is common in Norwegian. Fig. 426. Eryoneicus ccecus, Spence Bate. (From Faxon.).
