I cannot side with Sars in considering the A", mixtum of Kroyer as a good species, but 

 must agree with Wilson in uniting .V. grossipes and N. mixtum\ perhaps I may also be allowed to 

 point out that Hansen in his list of Danish Pycuogouida seems inclined to approve of such a union. 



Occurrence. The Ingolf-statious 2, 31, 87, 95, 127 state it to be taken in the Davis Strait, 

 the Denmark Strait, as well midway between Greenland and Iceland as nearer to the latter island, 

 in the mouth of Bredebugt ; further also in the Greenland Sea, and finally as far south as the 

 boundary of the Norwegian Sea midway between the Faroe Islands and Iceland. The depths were from 

 50 — 752 fathoms (Danish). 



Further it is found at the Zoological Museum from many localities. When it has been called 

 by other names than that of A', grossipes, the name in question has been added in a parenthesis.
