The Harpacticoida of a level bottom profile from Elat—extending from the littoral to 700 m depth—are discussed. Only 40 species are listed from the 17 bottom samples, among them 19 belong to new species. The large number of new species prevented the inclusion of all the material in the present paper. The new new species are as follows: Camelia elanitica n. sp., Canuellina femur n. sp., Canuellina onchophora n. sp., Brianola exigua n. sp., Zosime erythraea n. sp., Zosime bathyalis n. sp., Diarthrodes hirami n. sp., Rhyncholagena josaphatis n. sp., Rhyncholagena littoralis n. sp., Rhyncholagena profundorum n. sp., Haloschizopera ruthorum n. sp., Ophirion communis n. g. n. sp., Cletodes yotabisn. sp., Cletodes spinulipes n. sp., Enhydrosoma vicinum n. sp., Enhydrosomella monardi n. sp., Mesocletodes farauni n. sp., Hypalocletodes salomonis n. g. n. sp., Eurycletodes denticulatus n. sp.

The family Canuellidae is revised and a new genus, Scottolana n. g., proposed for the species Camella inopinata, C. longipes, C. curticaudata, C. scotti and Sunaristes bulbosus. Camelia reichi is transferred to the genus Brianola.

Ecological aspects are not dealt with, although the variety of the fauna at all depths is emphasized. An impoverished, though specific panbathyal fauna is found on the deep bottoms; the two new genera are characteristic for these bottoms.
