They are quite typical in every way and since our knowledge of this species is fairly extensive nothing need be added here concerning the anatomy of the present specimens. They do, however, add to our knowledge concerning the geographical distribution of the species, the present instance being the most mortherly record we have. This deep-water sponge is now known to extend throughout practically the whole of the Atlantic Ocean. Previously known distribution:— N. Atlantic (Milne-Edwards, Filhol, Perrier); Cape Bojador, W. of Gibraltar, Between Pernambuco and Bahia, N. W. of Guadeloupe, E. of Bahia. Sansibar, (Schulze); Azores (Topsent). Bathymetric distribution:— 818—3000 fathom-. Registered Nos. and localities: R. X. 3. ii, iii, iv, stn. 78, 6o°37' N, 27° 52' W, 799 faths., bottom temp., 4 5'; R. X. 15. i. stn. 37, 6o°i7'N, 54°05'W, 1715 faths., bottom temp. i°4. Species 2. Malacosaccus unguiculatus Schulze Var. arctica var. nov. A very handsome specimen measuring about 18 cms. in total length and consisting of an elongated sac-like body surmounted on a stoul -talk i> the sole representative of the genus from Greenland. The differences between the present specimen and tin- holotype of the species are so small that they might almost be ignored. They ate: the differences in the external form, difference of locality and the slightly longer distal rays of the hypodermal hexacts of the presenl specimen. Registered No. and locality: R.
