Udbredelse. 



Arten forekommer mere eller mindre sjelden langs 

 Norges Vestkyst, fra Lofoten idetmindste til Hardanger- 

 fjorden, hvor Norman og Ray-Lancaster har tåget den 

 paa 100 — 160 Favnes Dyb, Danielssen paa 300 Favne. 

 I Trondhjemsfjorden skal den dog ifølge Storm være meget 

 almindelig, 30—200 Favne. 



Udenfor Norge kjendes denne Art kun fra Færø- 

 kanalen, 203—676 Fv. (Hoyle) og Vestindien, 190 Fv. 

 (Lyman). Ophioscolex purpureus synes saaledes fortrinsvis 

 at høre hjemme i den varme Area, den er dog saavel paa 

 denne Expedition (Stat. 200) som paa ,.Porcupine's" Togt 

 i 1869 (Stat. 54 & 57) fonden i den kolde Area.

Between 



The species is more or less rarely met with along 

 the west coast of Norway, from Lofoten to at lea st Hard- 

 anger fiord, where Norman and Ray-Lancaster have oh- 

 tained it at a depth of 100 — 160 faths., Danielssen in 300 

 faths. It is, however, according to Storm, very common 

 in the Trondhjem fiord. 30—200 faths. 



Beyond Norway this species is only known from the 

 Færo channel, 203—676 fath. (Hoyle) and the West Indies, 

 190 fath. (Lyman). Ophioscolex purpureus seems therefore, 

 preferably, to have its home in the warm area; it has, 

 however, both on this expedition (Stat. 200) as well as 

 on the "Porcupine" expedition in 1869 (Stat. 54 & 57), 

 been obtained in the cold area.
