Locality :

63°i5' N. L. 22°23' W. L. 326—216 m. South Iceland. 



Two specimens are present, one of which is broken in two. They appear, in nothing essential, 

 to differ from Mc. Intosh's description. 



It is a species with a wide geographical distribution, but nowhere does it seem to be common. 

 It is known from Gibraltar and from the Mediterranean, the Channel, off the Hebrides and other localities 

 near the British Isles; the present author has taken it in Kattegat, North-East of Frederikshavn, in a 

 depth of 36 m.

Only fragments and one entire specimen are present; the condition is rather good, and as they 

 agree tolerably with the description of Mc. Intosh of the above named species, I venture to refer 

 them to it. 



The frontal papillae of the cephalic lobe are rather prominent and only a little diverging; the 

 hindmost eyes are situated rather wide from each other, and are somewhat smaller than the two fore- 

 most, the position of which is latteral. (PI. Ill, fig. 5). The palps are thick, middle-long with a short 

 distinct terminal filament. The tentacles and tentacular cirri are relatively short with middle-long 

 terminal filament, before which is a dilatation, a condition also concerning the dorsal cirri. All the named 

 appendages are almost smooth; only a few papillae are seen very sparcely spread. The mentioned 

 papillae in the palps, Mc. Intosh 1. c. p. 338, are densely situated and exceedingly minute; they cannot 

 be seen in my figure, PL III, fig. 5, which has been drawn at low power. 



The scales are very characteristic. At the first glance they remind one of the scales of Harmothoe 

 imbricata; each scale has on its surface, about at the middle of the uncovered part, a rather distinct, 

 brown, strongly pigmented spot, which gives it a close ressemblauce to a certain colour-variety of the
