The dislril)iition ol' tliis species in Greenland is irinarkahle : stuitli

 69°2o' and 78°10' (K.i The northern limit in Wrst Gre(>nland is still 

 nnknown. in tlie Ijords at 12^23' it was so commonly distributed that 

 the northern limit hardly can be here. On the other hånd the records 

 from 76^ — 83° by Flvirr have proved to be erron(>ous (Simmons: Elles-
