Extract

The area lying between the north of Britain and the Faeröe Islands is classical in the annals of Marine Zoology, not only from the fact that the first systematic deep-sea investigations undertaken by this country were carried out there, but also from the number of new and remarkable types of animal life which have been first found in that region. Speaking only of the Echinoderm fauna, in justification of these remarks, it will suffice to mention the discovery of such forms as Phormosoma and Porocidaris amongst Echinoids, and of Hymenaster, Korethraster and Zoroaster amongst Asteroids.
