ANNELIDS. I. 



The species is pronouncedly boreal and it seems only exceptionally to descend to great depths. 



When Levinsen, on the authority of Mc. Intosh, includes it in the Fauna of Greenland, he 

 is mistaken. On the other hand it must now, when captured in the southern part of Davis Strait 

 by Ad. Jensen, be reckoned to the Fauna of Greenland, yet to the warm area of this fauna.

Locality : 



62°57' N. L. i9°58' W. L. 957 m. Atlantic. South of Iceland. 



49°23' N. L. I2°i3' W. L. 1298 m. Atlantic. S. W. of England. 



From the northernmost locality two specimens are present, one from the southernmost; all of 

 them are incomplete. They agree well with Ehler's description, and must, without doubt, be referred 

 to the species in mention. The locality also agrees well with earlier captures. The species is a pro- 

 nounced deep-sea Annelide. In his last great paper (19141, Fauvel is able to add a capture from the 

 Acores, taken in 1385 m.

Locality: 



6i°o8' N. L. 9°28' W. L. South West of the Faroe Islands. 



5i°34' N. L. n°5o' W. L. 960 m. South West of Ireland. 



One specimen is present from each of the above named localities. As they both seem to agree 

 well with Mc. Intosh's description, I have no hesitation in referring them to this species. 



As known, it ranges from the Shetland Islands to the sea south-west of Ireland; bathymetrieally 

 between depths from 90 to 960 m.

Further, it has been taken south of Iceland, 63°05' N. L 20°9' W. L 557 m., two specimens, and 

 finally one specimen, have been taken in Drontheims-fjord, off Tautra, 200 111.
