Abstract
UNTIL recently, specimens of the strange deep-sea animals belonging to the group Pogonophora were known only from the Pacific. The first records were from Indonesia, and later on large samples were found by the Russians in the north-western part of the Pacific, and several species were described from this area. In 1956 I described some new finds from the eastern part of the Pacific, namely, from the Gulf of Panama, where they were taken by the Galathea 1. At the same time a description appeared of a new species, Siboglinum ekmani, by G. Jägersten2. This species was found in the Skagerrak, many miles from the earlier habitats. It was taken during the Skagerrak Expedition in 1933, but not identified until recently.
