CRUSTACEA MALACOSTRACA.

but that it is sometimes met with in quite shallow water, while nearly 170 fm. is the greatest depth 

 I have found ascribed to it. 



Remarks. The largest specimens I have seen were taken in Breidals \''ig on the east coast 

 of Iceland in 9—14 fm. (A. C. Johansen). The largest of these is a male which has the following 

 dimensions: length of cephalothorax no mm., breadth of this 86 mm., length of the first pair of legs 

 152 mm., distance between the tips of the second pair of legs 392 mm.

In ^lalac. Groenl. I have mentioned a number of localities for this species between 70° 25' N. L. 



and 60= 43' N. L. along the west coast of Greenland, depths from 5 to 100 fm.; later discoveries have 



not extended our knowledge. It has also been taken on all four coasts of Iceland at numerous 



localities; it is common at the Faeroes and it has twice been taken in 150 fm. It has not been found 



(-3 at East Greenland or Jan ]\Iayen. 



Distribution. From the Faeroes it extends southwards over the Shetlands and the Hebrides 

 to the east and west coasts of Scotland and England (Norman, etc.); it has been taken on the south 

 coast of England (Bell), in the Irish Sea (Walker), S. W. of Ireland in 250 fm. (Pocock), at the Channel 

 Islands in 10 — 20 meters (Koehler) and at Roscoff on the north coast of France (Delage); also at Belgium 

 (v. Beneden), eastern part of the North Sea andSkagerRak(]\Ietzger), Kattegat and northern part of the Sound 

 (Meinert), from the last-named northwards along the whole of the west coast of Scandinavia and at 

 East Finmark (M. Sars), [Magdalene Bay on the west side of Spitzbergen (G. O. Sars) and along the 

 north coast of Europe in the Murman Sea to 49° E. L. (Birula), but not in the WTiite Sea (Birula); 

 further east, it is not known with certainty and neither on the west or east coast of Nova Zembla 

 nor in the Kara Sea. (I think that Stuxberg's statement in 1886 of its occurrence in the Kara Sea is 

 incorrect, undoubtedly due to the example of Hoek (see synonymy list to If. araneus), as Stuxberg in
