Discovery reports (1956) Discovery reports discoveryreports27inst Year: 1956 SYSTEMATIC AND BIOLOGICAL ACCOUNT 153 The only other known and still unrecorded, catches, are of eudoxids taken by Beebe at Bermuda; and of both stages taken by ' Discovery' at Stations in the South Atlantic. These ' Discovery' Stations lay between lat. 320 S. and the Cape Verde Islands. They include some Stations (280-298) on a line starting from the West Coast of Africa on the Equator and running westwards and northwards to the Cape Verde Islands; and Stations on another line running up the 300 mer. from 280 30' S

Also there has recently come to my notice a specimen of Ceratocymba dentata taken by Mr J. S. Colman in 1937 during a cruise in Lord Moyne's yacht 'Rosaura' in the Guinea current. The locality was 70 27' N. lat., 230 08' W. long. It was taken in a 2-m. stramin net fished from 1000 m. to the surface. T Iâ' â I â Text-fig. 79. A, C, Ceratocymba sagittata, a posterior nectophore from 'Discovery II* St. 676; A x 3-4; C x 9-8; B, D, Ceratocymba leuckartti, two views of a posterior nectophore from 'Discovery II' St. 694; B x6-5; D x 12-5. Polygastric stage. The lengths of the nectophores of a complete polygastric specimen from 'Discovery II' Station 2635, 280-0 m., measured from either end to the notch on the dorsal side of the posterior nectophore, where the ventro-basal tooth of the anterior nectophore locks the two in position, are: anterior nectophore, 11 mm.; posterior, 55 mm. The length of the nectosac of the posterior nectophore is 45 mm.; its diameter at the forward end is 3 mm., increasing to 4-5 mm. just before the terminal bulge, which measures 5 mm. in diameter. There are nine or ten functional stem groups, the terminal three of which show the growth of the eudoxid bract and two gonophores. On one of the bracts, still attached to the stem, in the long hydroe
