 0° C. (down to — i.3°C.), more rarely a little above 0° C. (to 1.5" C.i. The Expeditions "Lightning" 

 and "Porcupine" took it in the Fseroe Channel, at depths of 345—550 fni. and temperatures of ca. 0° C. 



We may say regarding the variety ncnticostata Jeffr., consequently, that it is mainly bound 

 to the "cold area", but that it may also occur on the boundary region to the cold area '). 



Distribution. Astarfc crevata Gray is an arctic species, which is known from the north and 

 east coast of America down to Maine, Greenland, Jan Mayen, North and East Iceland, Norway down 

 to the Lofotens, ]\Iurman Sea, Barents Sea, Spitzbergen, Kara Sea and Polar Sea of Sibiria. Tlie 

 bathymetric distribution is 5 — 65ofm. 



") Jeffreys (I.e.) records Astartr ncuticostata from the Osterfjord at Bergen, but I think this statement incorrect; 

 Friele and Grieg also say (I.e.), that the)- have not observed it there, although they have dredged a good deal at the 

 place. — Jeffreys gives Leche as his authority for its occurrence at Nova Zeinbla, but I have not been able to find, where 

 Lcche mentions it.
