Vore exemplarer. som i siu tid blev revideret af 

 Jettreys, passer ikke med Locards tegninger. Disse synes 

 heller ikke at samstemme med Jeffreys beskrivelse. Jeffreys 

 siger saaledes. at skallet er „triangularly oval, equilateral". 

 Locards tegninger viser derimod et temmelig skjrevt skal.

The 'Yalorous' found this exceedingly rare little liivalvo 

 at the nioutii of Baffin Bay. and the 'Travailleur' in the 

 Bay of Biscay. Its batiiymetrical distribution is from 

 300 to 1750 fathoms. 



The Xorth Atlantic Expedition specimens, wliich have 

 been determined by Jeffreys, do not agree with Locard"s 

 drawings, nor do the latter answer to Jeffreys' descrii)tion. 

 Jeffreys says, for instance, that the valve is 'triangularly 

 oval. equilateral': but Locard"s drawings represent a rather 

 oblique valve. 



The largest s])ecimens measured 3..'i mm. in length, 

 and 3 mm. in heiijht.

Cjiamlum minutum was found in large numbers in 

 sliallow water at Husø. It is a cii'Cumpolar species, known 

 on the west coast of Greenland, the east coast of Nortii 

 America — where it extends from Massachusetts to 8outh 

 Carolina -. in the Mediterranean, on the west coast of 

 France, in the British Isles, the Faroe Tsles, Iceland, 

 Scandinavia — where it is numerous from Finmark to 

 Bohuslan — , on the Murraan Coast, in the White Sea, 

 the Bering Sea, and Alaska. Its bathymetrical distribution 

 is from to 25 fathoms. M. Sårs found it as a fossil in 

 the Norwegian later glacial shell-banks. Knipowitscli nn^n-
