umberland (Norman), S. E. from Yarmouth (Metzger), Belgium (v. Beueden), on the English-Normandy 

 Islands (Koehler), Concarneau (Bonnier), Gulf of Gascogne and further south to the Canary and Cape 

 Verde Islands to 17° N. L. (A. M-Edwards and Bouvier). It also occurs in the Mediterranean 

 (Heller, Gourret, Adensamer etc.) and is said to occur in the Black Sea (Czerniavsky, teste Ortmann). 

 Concerning its bathymetric distribution the following may be said. Bonnier states that it 

 occurs in depths from ca. 5 to 30 fm. on the coast of Britany; Heller gives 25 to 40 fm. for the 

 .Mediterranean, Gourret ca. 10 to 33 for Marseilles Bay, Adensamer 54 to 62 fm. for the Adriatic Sea, 

 Caullery 96 to 212 fm. for the Gulf of Gascogne, A. M.-Edwards & Bouvier 41 to 223 fm. for several 

 places in the Atlantic (Cadiz to Cape Verde Islands), lastly 870 fm. for a single specimen taken 

 off Morocco. The last I consider as improbable until further information is forthcoming, and believe 

 that it has arisen from some error or another (e. g. that the specimen has been in the trawl from an 

 earlier station). Apart from this it appears that the species occurs uniformly at all depths from ca. 

 5 fm. to a little over 200 fm., but that it is more rarely found in shallower water than 10 to 20 fm.

 Occurrence. The "Ingolf" has taken this species at the following 10 stations. 



West of Iceland: St. 97: 65 28' N. L., 27° 39' W. L., 450 fm., temp. 5-5=; 4 spec. 



It has also been taken at: 64 42' N. L., 27" 43' W. L., 426 fm., temp. 6°, 2 spec. (Wandel); 62 57' N. L., 

 19 58' W. L., ca. 500 fm., "Thor" 1903. 



Distribution. All the localities of the "Ingolf ', Wandel and "Thor" lie west and south of Iceland ; 

 the depth is between 265 and 691 fm., the temperature from 3-4° to 8-4°. The species was originally 

 taken in the warm area in the Fseroe Channel (Wyv. Thomson), later S. W. of Ireland, 250 fm. (Pocock), 

 in the Gulf of Gascogne, 346—750 fm. (Caullery), also in the Atlantic from the Bay of Biscay, Portugal, 

 Morocco, the Azores, the Canary and Cape Verde Islands. in 120 to 1106 fm. (A. M.-Edw. & Bouvier); 

 in the Mediterranean at the level of Marseilles (A. M.-Edwards) and a number of places in the Adriatic
