Further, this species has been taken in West-Greenland; Northern Stromfjord, 53 miles from 

 the mouth, 380 m. and in K.vanefjord, 100 240 m. 



In East-Greenland it has been taken in Turner Sound 6 <> in., Turner Sound 228 m., Forsblad 

 Fjord and in Ryder Sound 6 — o 111. 



Besides these findings the investigation steamer "Thor" has taken the species North of Hirts- 

 hals, 570 m. and North of Hanstholm, 526 m. 



The species under consideration proves to have a rather wide geographical range in the Nor- 

 wegian sea, specially North Mast and East of Iceland, where it has been taken at a great number of 

 the stations of the [ngolf-Expeditiou. It proves that the species goes rather far southwards, as it has 

 been taken by the Ingolf-Expedition St. 140. A single finding is present from the western part of the 

 Atlantic from the area South West of Greenland, the [ngolf-Exped. St. 38. The captures by the "Thor" 

 prove that the species reaches as far as Skager Rak. It is principally a deep-sea form, but while it 

 can be found in shallow water in the Arctic, it is only found in great depths in the boreal area.

Locality : 



West-Greenland: 



Northern Strom-fjord; 44 miles from the mouth of the fjord in a little bay. 58 m. 

 6o°o7' N. L. 48°26' W. L. Captured with young-fish trawl 600 in. \\'. by the investigation 

 vessel "Tjalfe." 



East-Greenland: 

 Forsblad's Fjord 90 - 40 fins. 

 Turner Sound c. 3 fms. 

 Cap Dalton 9 — n fms. 



Further, it has been taken off Jan Maxen, 55 fms. 



Almost all the captures are single-captures. Only from the Jan Maxell locality is a rather great 

 number present, namely ten specimens, all relatively large. Some few among them measure c. 37 111111., 

 and, by their breadth, some fragments indicate still larger dimensions. The specimen from Turner 

 Sound is the only one which approaches in size the Jan Max en specimens. 



It appears very striking that a single capture south-west of Greenland is intermediate. I have 

 thoroughly examined the specimen in question, partly in view of the exactness of the diagnosis, partlx 

 in order to be able to state facts which could suggest epitokism. However there are no peculiarities
