From Danmark Strait one capture is present, namely:

 Further, one capture from the tract south west of the Faroe Islands, namely: 



6i°o8' N. h. 9°28' W. L. 820 in. 



We here have a case like that of Aphrodite aculeata\ neither Latmonia filicornis has hitherto 

 been known from Greenland waters, and now it suddenly comes to light from a lot of different local- 

 ities in Davis Strait. All these localities are situated on rather deep water and all of them have 

 the bottom-temperature positive. 



Lastmonice appears to be much more abundant in these localities than Aphrodite, a far greater 

 number of the former lias been taken. I shall only say that from the above St. 32 of the Iugolf-Expedition 

 more than a hundred specimens are present. 



Polynoidae. 



As to the arrangement and classification of the PolynoicUe in the present paper I should wish 

 to remark the following. 



Concerning the limitation of the genus Harmothoc I am following Levinsen in comprising 

 under this genus all the species provided with the typical, well-known, sword-shaped notopodial setae. 

 At present there are 110 essential difficulties in this arrangement — at any rate when it is a question of 

 northern forms exclusively — and as long as thorough researches, based upon anatomical investigations 

 concerning the whole group of Polynoi'ds are lacking, there is no possibility for a systematic arrangement 

 based on the principles of natural relationship. Nor do but two authors appear to be able to agree as 

 to this question at present. 



Since the completion of my manuscript a new paper by Erik Bergstrom 1916 dealing with 

 the Polynoids from the Swedish antarctic expedition has been published. In several respects the sound 

 points of view of this author have my whole sympathy, even when I am not able to agree in details 

 with all that he proposes in the mentioned paper. When he says: (1. c. p. 270) „So ist es z. B. nicht 

 richtig, wie es Malmgreu (1865. S. 56, Schema) tut, eine specielle Gattung Evarne neben Harmothoe 

 aufzustelien, nur weil einige der Ventralborsteu bei der Typusart der ersten Gattung einspitzig sind",
