tI 5 CRUSTACEA MALACOSTRACA. 



Cliristianshaab and Holsteensborg, that is from ca. 69V3 N. L. to 66° 56' N. L., and the depths varied 

 from 5 to 15 fm. At East Greenland it was twice taken by the 2"' 1 Amdrup Expedition, namely, along 

 with the previous species in the eel-seine in 7 — fm. at 70 30' N. L., 22 31' W. L., and at 72° 28' N. L., 

 2c 23' W. L., 3—14 fm.; Ohlin mentions some specimens from the same coast north of Kaiser Franz 

 Joseph Fjord at similar depths. According to material in onr Museum it has been taken very 

 frequently at Iceland, namely, on the west coast (Skagi, Reykjavik at the latter locality according to 

 G. O. Sars), north-west coast (Patrik Fjord and Onundar Fjord), north coast (Skalfaudi) and east coast 

 (Seydis Fjord, Rode Fjord and Bern Fjord); the depths were usually from 10 to 35 fm., sometimes 

 possibly less, whilst 74 fm. is once noted. Ou the other hand, it is not known from the south coast 

 of Iceland nor from the Fseroes. 



Distribution. The species has often been taken on the east coast of North America from 

 Fundy Bay to Massachusetts Bay, 20 to go fm. (Smith). In Europe its distribution is characteristic: 

 it is given from the Baltic, penetrating right up into the Gulfs of Bothnia and Finland (Iuternat. 

 Explor.), has been several times taken near the Danish Islands (Meinert), has been found at Kulleu 

 on the west coast of Sweden (Lilljeborg), in the inner parts of Christiania Fjord and in Trondhjem 

 Fjord, is also common from Lofoten northwards along the coast and at East Finmark (G. O. Sars). 

 Lastly, it is given from the White Sea and Murman Sea (Czerniavsky and Jarzynsky). At Denmark 

 it has been taken in 6 fm., whilst Sars gives 20—100 fm. for its occurrence at Norway. 



Remarks. The largest specimens are, as was to be expected, from East Greenland. The 

 largest specimen, a female with half-developed marsupium, measures 31-2 mm. from tip of rostrum to 

 end of telson; the males are not nearly so large and one of the largest from the same locality (70 50 N. L.) 

 is only 22'6 mm. long. 



ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. 



Inachus leptochirus Leach is to be added to the list of Decapoda from the region defined for investigation, as 

 A. Appellof states i Die Dekapoden Crustaceen, 1906, p. 1S7) that the "Michael Sars" took this species "auf dem Fsero Plateau 

 (Tiefe 125 Met.)"; he adds that lie is unable to decide whether some very small specimens of the genus Inachus from the 

 same locality belong to / dorynchus Leach. 



In the lists of synonymy the following dates of publication are to be corrected. In the lists on p. 16, p. 17 and p. 25 

 Bell, Brit. Crust, is given as published in 1S44 instead of 1S53. In the lists belonging to Galacantha rostrata (p. 35) and Muni- 

 Jopsi's curvirostra (p. 36) Smith's paper is stated as published in 1SS4 instead of 1882; in the list belonging to Munidopsii 

 similis lp. 38) 1SS7 is given instead of 1S.S6.
