We dredged many Holothurise ; notably everywhere below 200 or 300 fathoms the delicate little Echino- cucumis typica, M. Sars ; and Psolus squamatus, Koren, which does not seem however to be common, through we dredged it in great profusion on one occa- sion in the ' Lightning,' its white scaly disks showing out against the smooth black pebbles of Fseroe basalt to which they were attached. Ilolothuria ecalcarea, Saks, was met with occasionally, and formed another. Fig. 18.—Eusirus cuspidatus, Kroyeb. (No. 50.) interesting addition to the British fauna. It always had a peculiar effect coming up among a number of much smaller and more delicate things, like a massive German sausage twenty or thirty centimetres long. In the characteristic hauls in the cold area we met with some very interesting crustaceans, one or two of which I figure as they are highly suggestive of the source of the cold water. They are some of the gigantic forms of amphipoda and isopoda of the Arctic Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Thomson, C.
