Lasæa rnhra synes at v;ere en kosmopolitisk art, som 

 anføres saavel fra Atlanterhavet som Det stille ocean. Den 

 bathymetriske udbredelse er — 910 IV. Fossil er den 

 kjendt fra Italien, Irland, England og Norge, hvor M. Sårs 

 har tåget den i skjælbauken paa Kirkoen, Hvaloerne 



quently found at Florø by Friele, and in two or tliree 

 places in Kois Fjord by Norman. 



Lasæa rnhra appears to be a cosmopolitan si)ecies, 

 recorded from botli the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Its 

 bathymetrical distribution is from 1 to 910 fatlioms. It 

 is found in a "fossil state in Italy. Ireland. England, and 

 jSTorway. In the lastnamed country, it was fountl liy 

 M, Sårs in the shell-bank on Kirkoen. in the Hval Islands.

Lasæa jjumila erholdtes kun paa en lokalitet, station 

 192, 649 fv. Den er tidligere kjendt fra Islands vestkyst. 

 Kanalen, Biskayerbugten, kysten af Spanien og Portugal, 

 Sicilien, Adriaterhavet og Azorerne. Jeffreys anfører den 

 desuden fra Koi'ea. Den bathymetriske udbredelse er 60 

 — 1367 fv. Fossil er den kjendt fra Englands cragfor- 

 mationer og Siciliens ])liocene lag. 



Læsæa i^aniila was found in only one locality, namely 

 Station 162 (649 fathoms). Its oecurrence liad previously 

 been recorded off the west coast of Iceland, in the Eiiglish 

 Channel, the Bay of Biscay, off the coast of Spain and 

 Portugal, Sicily, in the Adriatic, and the Azores. Jeffieys 

 mentions it also in the Corea. Its bathymetrical distribu- 

 tion is from 60 to 1367 fathoms. It is found as a fossil in 

 the crag in England, and in the Pliocene strata in Sicilv.

Axinopsis orljicalafa er en circumpolar art, som er 

 kjendt fra Grønland, Labrador, New Foundland, Island. 

 Norge, Jan Mayen, Spitsbergen, Murmankysten. Novaja 

 Semlja, Karahavet og Alaska. Ved den norske ky.st er 

 den temmelig sjelden, idet den kun er funden paa nogle 

 faa lokaliteter mellem Bodø og Vadsø. Den bathymetriske 

 udbredelse er 2 — 120 fv. Kni])o\vitsch anfører den som 

 post-pliocen fra Spitsbergen (Krausshavn). 



Axinus orbicalatus. Jeffreys (Proc. Zool Soc. 1881 

 p. 7(J2, tab. 61, fig. 5) er ikke Sars"s art, saavel formen 

 som ogsaa skul])turen er høist forskjellig. Vi frygter der- 

 for for at der er nogen misforstaaelse tilstede, naar Posselt 

 i ,,Conspectus Paunæ Grønlandicæ"' (p. 75) slaar begge 

 former sammen. Det maa forovrigt bemerkes at Jeffreys 

 fieinhæver udtrvkkelig at de ikke er identiske.

Axinopsis orbiculata is a circumpolar species. known 

 in Gruenland, Labrador, Newfoundland, Iceland, Noiway, 

 Jan Mayen, Spitsbergen, on the Murman Coast. in Novaja 

 Semlja, the Kara Sea, and Alaska. It is rather rare on 

 the Norwegian coast, being only found in a few places be- 

 tween Bodø and Vadsø. Its bathymetrical distribution is 

 from 2 to 1 20 fathoms. Knipowitsch mentions it as Post- 

 pliocene in Spitsbergen (Krausshavn). 



Axinux orbicidatus, Jeffreys (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1881, 

 p. 7()2, Pl. LXI, fig. 5) is not Sars's species. Both in 

 form and sculptuiing, it is quite different. We fear. 

 therefore. tliat Posselt is labouring under some misappre- 

 hension when, in ,.Conspectus Faunæ Grænlandica" (p. 751), 

 he nnites the two forms. It may moreover be remarked 

 that Jeffreys expressly states that they are not identical.
