Onuphis Eschrichtii Oersted. 1. c. 



My specimens differ from those received from Greenland, through Dr. Liitken, and 

 labelled 0. Eschrichtii, in having the tentacular cirri but one half as long as the middle

 cirri especially are much longer, while in the Greenland specimens^ they are more papilli- 

 form. Chateau Bay twenty-five to thirty fathoms. Salmon Bay fifteen fathoms. Cateau 

 Harbor fifteen fathoms, sand.
