Saville Kent in 1871 off the coast of Portugal; and these species I propose to describe and figure, because m y dredgings in the 'Porcupine' Expedition of 1870 were nearly on the same ground. Mr. Kent's discovery confirms m y previous statement and unchanged impression, that we know very little of the deep-water fauna, and that it is an inexhaustible field of research. Terebratula tenera, from the 'Valorous' Expedition, is also figured. I will notice very briefly the other Brachiopods of the European seas, which were not procured in the ' Lightning ' or ' Porcupine ' Expedition. For the illustrations accompanying this paper, and for other valuable assistance, I a m indebted to m y friend M r . Davidson. |
