Distribution. It may be probable that the specimen noted by Norman from the Shetland 

 Isles as „S'. septemcarinata in reality belongs to S. Sarsii. Specimens have been taken in the Skager 

 Rak north of the Skaw, 70 fm., by Dr. Joh. Petersen, and off the south coast of Norway, 60 — 80 fm. 

 (Appellof). Sars writes that the species "occurs not so very rarely on our west coast (f. inst. Christians- 

 sund) and goes south to Stavanger [ca. 59° N. L.]". It is also found at East Finmark (Norman), at the 

 western part of the coasts of the Murman Sea as far as to the entrance to the White Sea, 40 to 

 178 fm. (Birula), lastly, on the east coast of North America in the Gulf of Maine in 60 to 183 fm. 

 (Smith) and south of Halifax, Nova Scotia (Bate). 



Sab. Sarsii thus occurs in 40 to 388 fm. and in temperatures on both sides of o c , but its ab- 

 sence at East Greenland, Franz Joseph Land, in the Kara Sea etc. shows that it is not so distinctly 

 an arctic species as S. septemcarinata. In the western part of the Murman Sea both species are found 

 together (Birula); in the waters about Iceland and in the Davis Straits they have not once been 

 taken together; further, S. Sarsii goes deeper down than £. septemcarinata and is not found in so 

 shallow water as this.

Occurrence. The "Ingolf" has not taken this species. 



In the waters on the west coast of Greenland this species goes as far up as Discovery Bay at 

 Grinnell Land, 8i°44'N. L., 25 fm. (Miers); on the tract from 79V3 to 72 N. L. it has been taken 

 many times in 5—20 fm. and down to ca. 45 fm. (Miers, Hansen, Ortmann, Ohlin), and it is noted 

 from 100 fm. in Melville Bay (M c Clintock). On the west coast of Greenland it is rare south of 72°N. L.: 

 two specimens have been taken at Godhavn and Jakobshavn, several specimens in the stomachs of 

 cod at Ivigtut. 



It was taken in northern East Greenland by the 2 nd Amdrup Exped. at 6 localities lying 

 between 69°44'N. L. and 74 I / 2 °N. L., at one of these it was taken in the eel-seine in 7—0 fm.; on the 

 East Greenland coast between 70° 27'N. L. and 74°35'N. L. it has been taken a number of times by 

 Swedish Zoologists, and the depth at one of these stations was ca. 160 fm. (Ohlin). — Near Jan Mayen 

 one specimen was taken in 50—60 fm. (2 nd Amdrup Exped.). 



At Iceland it has been taken chiefly in the fjords along the east coast (Mid, Seydis, Nord, 

 Rode, Faskrud and Beru Fjords), where S. Sarsii does not occur, at depths between 20 and 80 fm.;
