Only one species met with on this cruise appears to have been previously undescribed. Although all the other species were already known from similar localities in the North-east Atlantic, attention may be called to an interesting series of the young of Synaphobranchus pinnatus and to the capture of numerous young examples of Onus biscayensis . When compared with the results of the hauls taken by H.M.S. Research , a little farther south and over very much deeper soundings, the list of species taken by the Huxley is chiefly remarkable for the entire absence of Stomias boa, Gonostoma microdon , and G. bathyphilum , the range of none of which seems to extend into waters as shallow as those fished by the Huxley .
