Locality :

Seven specimens in all are present from the two above named stations. In all essentials they 

 agree with the description of Sars. The most characteristic feature in this species is the scales, as the 

 peculiar supply of spines makes it impossible to confound it with any other. Among other 

 peculiarities can be pointed out the long, almost straight, dorsal setae, which are present in a great 

 number; their form is very characteristic and perceivable; nevertheless their form is typical Har- 

 mothoidal, so that the species cannot be separated from the genus Harmothoe sensu Levinsen. 



It seems to be common nowhere, most frequently it has been taken at the coasts of Norway. 

 Bidenkap states its northernmost locality at Bodo, consequently somewhat more northerly than the 

 two Ingolf-stations. In Norway it is known, vide Bidenkap from Drobak, Manger and Osterat, as 

 well as near the mouth of the Hardanger-fjord and in Drontheim's-fjord. 



At the British coast it is known according to Mc. Intosh only from the firth of Clyde. It 

 belongs evidently to those species, which descend to rather great depths.
