South-West of Iceland. To the south-west of Iceland 10 mature females, 5 y$ (V), 3 mature 

 males and 5 young males (V) were found 's/g 1896, St. 80, P. 100 — o fm. 61^02 Lat. N. 29°32 Long. W. 



South of Iceland. To the south of Iceland a single male was taken by the Ingolf Exp. (7/3 

 1S96, Cyl. 32, 63°45 Lat. N. 22^37 Long. W. 2 ?; 2^*); */« 1896 a mature female of Ps. gracilis^ and from 

 '3/, — 19/. 1896 at three stations females of Ps. elongafus were taken; of the latter young animals {\') 

 were taken at 3 stations i^j^ — 31/^), y^ (IV) at a single station (3i/j 1896) and young animals (III) 3°/^ 1895 

 and 31/5 1896. The East Greenland Exp. 1900 has taken a few mature and joung females south of 

 Iceland ^5/^. 



In the Icelandish fjords adult males have been taken several times by different collectors. On 

 the north coast it was only taken once | Ingolf '/s 1896 Selvik in Skagafjord 65°58 L. N. i9°50 L. W. 

 PI. 4 y$ (V), I fc?, 5 yd* (V), 7 y^ (I\'). 10 y (III) aud 2 y (II)]. On the east to west coast males were 

 taken 3 times ('3/j. — 26/. 1902), and females as well as juniores (stage II — \) were in several samples 

 found common from '3/^. — 26/=;. 



South-East of Iceland. In the Iceland-Fceroe channel south east of Iceland Ps. gracilis (f$) 

 were taken in four .samples between "/.=; — '''''5 1895 and ^o/. 1896, and Ps. elongafus (f$ — c?) in four samples 

 ("/j— '% 1895 and 2% 1896); young auimals (IV — Vl were taken three times ("/-— 's/j 1895 aud ^o/^. 1896). 

 Several males were found in a single sample from "/^ St. i, V.' 50—0 fm. 62-30 Lat. N. 8°2i L. \V., 

 including 140 f?, 23 y$ (V), 8 y? (I\'), 30 fc?, 20 yd* (V) and .5 y^ (IV). From St. 3, '^/j, \'.' 100— o fm.

 I y? (IV), 2 f(? and 4 yc? (V). From St. 57, ^o/, 1896, V.' 100— o fm. 63°37 Lat. North 13=02 Long. West, 

 I f?, I y^ (Vj and 2 fc? were secured. 



North-East of Iceland. To the east and north-east of Iceland as far north as Jan Mayen 

 specimens (f$j of Ps. gracilis were found in four samples, taken between '°/; and ^5/^ 1896, and Ps. 

 clongatus in six samples ('°/j- — ^5/7); 3'0"ng animals (IV— V) of the former type from 3 Stat. {'"/z^^^V?) 

 and of the latter from 9 Stat. C"/;— ^5/7 1895); the following stage (III) was taken at 6 Stat. ('/^ — ^sy 



The East Greenland Expedition 1900 has from ^^jb to ^j-j in the Norwegian Sea between 63'^i6 

 Lat. North i°i4 Long. East and 72^30 Lat. N. 6°4i Long. W. collected a few samples containing this 

 species (type: gracilis or elongahes) all taken at the surface (F. or G.). 



The mature female was only taken once (^'/^ 12 p. m. F. 33, 64°i7 Lat. North o°5i LongWesti; 

 young animals (V) were taken in 7 samples, including that from the most northern station, >oung 

 animals (III — IV) were found in four samples. As the species was only taken in few specimens, in 

 altogether 7 samples, though one sample was taken each hour day and night from ^1/5 to '% as far 

 north as 74°28 Lat. North (i5°36 Long. West), there is good reason to regard it as extremely scarce 

 at the surface at the season and in the region mentioned. 



The expedition has taken the Ps. elongahis a few times in Nansen's closing net.
