Styela sp.

Material examined. St. B2-6, 1705m, many specimens.

Remarks. Small, 3–6mm, flattened specimens which were probably attached by the wide area on the ventral side to a solid object are now in a too poor condition with the internal organs torn away. They appear to have one gonad on each side. Several features resemble S. coriacea (Alder et Hancock, 1848) , however the recorded depth is too large for this species and due to the condition of the material the species cannot be identified.
