In Malac. Groenl. I have mentioned a large number of localities on the west coast of Green- 

 land, from 72°37'X. L. to 60 2 /. N. L. and in depths from fairly shallow water to 290 fan.; numerous 

 later discoveries have not brought any addition of importance. At East Greenland it is extremely 

 rare; for myself I have only seen a single small specimen from Hekla Harbour in Scoresby Sound 

 (70 27' N. L., 26° 12' W. L.) and no foreign expedition mentions it — I have also seen specimens from 

 a large number of localities on the western, northern and eastern coasts of Iceland, depths from 2 fan. 

 and down to 60—90 fan. It is likewise common at the Faeroes, both in shallow water near the coast 

 and out in 100 to 150 fan.; to the S. W T . of the Faeroes it has been taken in 425 — 460 fm. and down 

 to 500 fan. ("Michael Sars" and "Thor"). 



Distribution. The species spreads over the Shetlands and Hebrides (Norman) southward 

 along the English coasts at least to Durham (Norman), and in the Irish Sea (Walker); it is also noted 

 from a point S. W. of Ireland, 200 fm. (Pocock), and this is the most southerly locality for the species 

 on the coasts of Europe known to me. It is also found in the northern part of the Kattegat (Meinert), 

 in the Skager Rak, on the whole coast of Norway (M. Sars), on the north coast of Europe to Nova 

 Zembla, in the White Sea and northern part of the Murman Sea (Birula), at Jugor Schar, 12 fm. 

 (Hansen) and Matotschkiu Schar in depths from 4—6 fan. to 60—70 fan. (Stuxberg). It has not been 

 taken in the Kara Sea nor along the north coast of Asia. On the other hand it occurs round Spitz- 

 bergen (Doflein and Ohlin) and at Bear Island (G. O. Sars and other authors). On the east coast of 

 America it is found at Labrador (Smith), Gulf of St. Lawrence (Smith), Newfoundland (A. M.-Edwards
