Extract

Eighty-seven specimens of Bathothauma lyromma from the ‘Discovery’ collections have provided new information on this unusual species. The size range represented is sufficient to trace the development from small larvae to near adult. Information on sexual development is also given. Twenty-nine specimens from opening-closing nets show that Bathothauma occupies the depth range 100–1250 m, with smaller specimens living at shallower depths than the larger ones.
