Abstract

A PREVIOUS communication1 reported the occurrence of Pogonophora in the Atlantic. Since then another cruise has been made on R.V. Sarsia, and more preserved material examined. Species of Siboglinum have now been taken at six stations along the continental slope between lat. 47° 56′ N., long. 7° 56′ W. and lat. 48° 32′ N., long. 10° 11′ W. at depths ranging from 300 to 710 fathoms, and specimens of at least three of them brought back alive to the laboratory. Species of the same genus have also been found in bottom samples taken by Mr. N. A. Holme in 1956 at depths of only 80–90 fathoms off Dingle Bay on the west coast of Ireland.
