Of the three species of Brachiopoda found, two, Magellania cranium and M. septigera, are found in the British list. The third species, Mühlfeldtia truncata, has not, as far as I can discover, previously been recorded from so high a latitude, Turton's Torbay locality being very doubtful.

The Amphipoda dealt with in this paper were collected in August, 1906, by Dr. Allen, to whom I am indebted for the opportunity of examining them.The collection contained thirty-five species (belonging to twenty families), of which one only, Tryphosites alleni, is new to science. Five others, Stenothoe richardi, Syrrhoites walkeri, Syrrhoe affinis, Eusirus biscayensis, and Rhachotropis rostrata, are recorded for the first time since their original discovery. The geographical range of five species has been considerably extended, viz. Syrrhoe affinis, Tmetonyx similis, Sympleustes glaber, Epimeria parasitica, and Laetmatophihis tuberculatus; the four last forms have not been hitherto recorded with certainty south of Norway.

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.

Glycerol 3 Phosphate Dehydrogenase

Two distinct forms of the megrim, Lepidorhombus whiff-iagonis (Walbaum), exist, a southern form which ranges from the Mediterranean to the British Isles and a northern form which ranges northwards from the north of Ireland and the North Sea (Richardson, 1860; Kyle, 1913; Furnstein, 1935; Dwivedi, 1964). Kyle and Richardson considered these forms to be separate species. The southern form of megrim extends into the English Channel with Start Point, 3° 40' W, the approximate eastern limit of its distribution (Cligny, 1905). However, this fish is common only at the western entrance of the Channel since it is abundant only in depths below loom (Dwivedi, 1964). Little is known of the separate megrim populations in the geographical range of the southern form. Studies of meristic characters indicate the existence of at least three populations, one in the Mediterranean and along the coast of Portugal, another in the Bay of Biscay and the third south of Ireland and in the entrance to the English Channel (Cligny, 1905; Dwivedi, 1964).

The King’s Quoit dolmen perches precariously halfway up a headland in south Wales. Its location has been an enigma since Victorian times. The monument builders chose not the spectacular sea views of the south-facing slope, but the apparently more mundane inland vista of the north side, with a near horizon comprising a low ridge on the far side of a small valley, now a beach. Previous research by the author into the astronomical possibilities at this site have revealed horizon indicators for cardinal north, in the form of earth mounds which appear to have marked the lower culminations of Deneb and Vega, as they dipped down to the horizon and rose again during the third and fourth millennium BCE. This has led to another discovery, namely, that a still traceable route way of roads and footpaths leads north from this monument across Pembrokeshire, passing close by several Neolithic monuments and settlements as it does so, before reaching a sheltered bay and another, south facing, dolmen on the north coast. The southern end of this possible ancient trackway is located on Carmarthen Bay, and the northern end, on Cardigan Bay. Both bays encompass a lengthy stretch of relatively sheltered coastal and estuarine water.

I am indebted to the courtesy of Dr. Allen for the opportunity of examining the collections of these two orders of Crustacea in the Huxley's material.None of the species are new to science, and but few of them present any features worthy of remark. The chief interest of the collection lies in its bearing on the known geographical distribution of the species captured for, out of a total of twenty-eight, no fewer than sixteen are recorded for the first time from localities south of the British Islands, while only eight of the species have previously been recorded from the Bay of Biscay. The bathymetrical range of five of the species recorded has been considerably increased by this material.

The principal feature of interest in these collections is the presence of a single fine specimen of Corallium maderense. Only one other specimen of this species has hitherto been obtained, and no specimen of the family has hitherto been recorded from the Bay of Biscay

The Hydroids collected on the northern edge of the Bay of Biscay during a five days” cruise in August, 1906, by Dr. E. J. Allen, were entrusted to me for examination. I thank my friend Dr. Allen for giving me the opportunity of working through the collection, which contained thirty-seven species, including two new species (Bimeria arborea and Bimeria biscayana) and several rare deep-sea forms.Our knowledge of the area occupied by the British Hydroids has been increased by this cruise. All the species taken at six out of the eight stations have been previously recorded for the British area. It was only at the two stations over 400 fathoms that foreign species occurred. Bathymetrical distribution has also made an advance, as several species were taken at a depth considerably greater than that hitherto recorded for them.

Rough Cut

Publication of a monument discovered at Saqqara, belonging to Djoser and, specifically, to his pyramid complex. This limestone piece with reliefs on three of its sides and an unfinished rough-cut back and top had been broken into two parts. The decoration is composed of snakes, jackals, lions/lionesses, serekks and the Horus name Ntry-ht. Three locations for the original emplacement of the monument are suggested: the hebsed court, the north side of the pyramid complex, and within a ceremonial gateway. This unique monument has no parallel in the Third Dynasty. Its discovery may change suggestions for the reconstruction of the pyramid complex of Djoser.
