j Q CRUSTACEA MALACOSTRACA. 



to the point), but Norman — who captured two specimens in the Trondhjem Fjord, says: "Eyes well 

 developed, on long peduncles, when laterally projected extending beyond the sides of the carapace" 

 and my three specimens show extremely peculiar differences with regard to the eyes. In the "Ingolf" 

 specimen the one eye preserved is grey-brown, but it is black in the two other specimens; the speci- 

 men from East Greenland is a female with eggs, the eye-stalks are cylindrical in almost their whole 

 length and scarcely thinner than the diameter of the eye; the latter in this specimen is not only 

 relatively considerably smaller but almost absolutely smaller than in the two other considerably smaller 

 specimens, but in both of these the eye itself is obviously broader than the stalk and the latter is 

 strongly conical in the specimen from the Faeroes. Whether all this variation indicates anything or 

 not, in other words, whether there should be two (or three) species extremely closely related or only 

 a single species, variable with respect to the eyes, neither my small and far from perfect material nor 

 the literature can give any final decision. But I am greatly inclined to consider, that not only my 

 own specimens but also those mentioned by earlier authors of B. siniplicirostris and B. Panschii belong 

 to the same species.

Occurrence. This species has not been taken by the "Ingolf. It has only been found twice 

 by the "Thor" within the area dealt with in this work. 



South- West of Iceland: West of Geirfugleskser, many small spec, and larvse. 



South of West Iceland: 63 15' N. L., 22°23'W. L., 114 — 173 fan.; many spec. 



Distribution. The species is known from the Shetlands and the Hebrides (Norman), Scot- 

 land (Norman), the Irish Sea (Walker), North Sea: 48 miles W. of Blaavandshuk, 22 fan. (Metzger); also 

 from Bohuslan on the west coast of Sweden, 10—15 ^ m - (Goes); lastly, from several places on the south 

 and west coast of Norway, especially in the region of the deep-sea corals, and Varanger Fjord on the east 

 coast of Finmark (G. O. Sars). When Sars writes on the basis of the last find: "it seems from this 

 that the present form must be regarded as a northerly, perhaps even an arctic form", it must be said 

 that its distribution shows that it is certainly not arctic. Further, it has also been taken at a number 

 of places on the east coast of the United States from Fundy Bay to Cape Cod, in depths between 27 

 and no fan., but not in the Gulf of St. Eawrence (S. I. Smith).
