REMARKS Altiverruca erecta was redescribed and discussed by Young (1998c: 111) . The specimens collected during the present expeditions are similar to that figured by Gruvel (1902d : pl. 5, figs 7, 8) and indicate the growth ridges are more prominent on the carina ( Fig. 27 ). It was collected from the Azores at 3175 m and from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between 3947 and 3375 m ( Gruvel 1902d: 93 ; Young 1998c: 111 ). These new records agree with the previous geographic distribution but increase its depth range to 890-3947 m .
