saa mange Yariationer. at dette Mærke ikke kan bruges 

 ved Artsdiagnosen. Papillernes Anordning er ligeledes 

 underkastede mange Yariationer selv paa samme Individ ; 

 hos et forøvrigt typisk Exemplar af Ophioden sericeum fra 

 Grønland var der saaledes ved en af Armenes Insertioner 

 en continuerlig Ead med Papiller, medens Raden ved de 

 øvrige var afbrndt i Midten ved et mere eller mindre 

 bredt Mellemrum. ganske som hos Ophioglypha gractlis; 

 en lignende Yariation fandtes ogsaa hos adskillige Exem- 

 plarer fra Xordhavsexpeditionen. Hos mange Exemplarer 

 var heller ikke Papillerne langs den ydre Rand af de tre 

 første Armrvgplader altid ordnede i continuerlige Rækker. 

 Endvidere minder Forholdet v.ed Armenes Forbindelse med 

 Skiven hos ovennævnte tre Typeexemplarer af Ophioglypha 

 i/nirilis mere om Slægten Ophioden end Ophioglypha; 

 den inderste Armrygplade ligger nemlig hos samtlige tre 

 Exemplarer ikke i Høide med Skiven, men denne hvælver 

 sig tvertom ud over den, saaat Armene alene kommer at 

 udgaa fra Skivens Bugside, hvad de jo ifølge Sars's Be- 

 skrivelse ikke skulde gjøre.

those specimens. subjected to so many variations that that 

 eharacteristic cannot be used in diagnosis of species. The 

 arrangement of the papillæ is also subjected to many 

 variations even in the same individual. In an otherwise 

 typical specimen of pli i oden sericeum from Greenland, 

 there was, thus, at the insertions of one of the arms a 

 continuous series of papillæ, whilst the series on the others 

 was interrupted in the middle by a more or less broad 

 interval, quite as in Ophioglypha gractlis. A similar vari- 

 ation was also found in several specimens from the North 

 Atlantic Expedition. Xeither were the papillæ along the 

 outer edge of the three first brachial dorsal plates, in many 

 specimens, alwavs arranged in continuous series. Further, 

 the relation of the connection of the arm with the disc, in 

 the above-named three typical specimens of Ophioglypha 

 gractlis, reminds more of the genera Ophioden and Ophio- 

 glypha: the innermost brachial dorsal plate lies, namely, 

 Jn all the three specimens, not on a level with the disc, 

 but, on the contrary. the latter årenes itself over the former 

 so that the arms only come to issne from the ventral side 

 of the disc. which they should, according to Sars's de- 

 scription, of course not do.
