52 CRUSTACEA MALACOSTRACA. 



26°i2'W. L., 9— II fm., 6 specimens (Ryder Exp.); Ohlin gives it from 7o°27'N.L., 22° 35' W. L. Buch- 

 holz notes it from several localities further north (Cape Wynn, Sabine Isl., Shannon Isl. and North 

 Shannon Isl), from ca. 74° to a little north of 75° N. L. in depths from 5 fm. to 30 fm. and "20-100" fm. 

 It has not been met with at Iceland or the Faroes. 



Distribution. In Norway according to G. O. Sars it is "only exceptionally" foimd south of 

 the Polar Circle, but it is stated nevertheless that a single specimen has been taken at Bohuslan (Goes). 

 It is common at Finmark (M. Sars), from there it goes along the whole coast of the Murraan Sea, 

 into the White Sea and is said to have been taken in 145 fm. (Birula); it is also found in the Kara 

 Sea at Nova Zembla (Hansen), at ca. 767^ N. L., 59 E. L., 16 fm. (Heller), Franz Joseph Land (Scott), 

 and Spitzbergen (several authors). On the east coast of North America it goes south to 41° 30' N. L., 

 that is, a little to the south of Cape Cod; from here northwards to the St. Lawrence estuary it has 

 been taken in depths from ca. 10 fm. and down to 125 fm. (S. I. Smith); it also occurs at Labrador (Packard 

 jun.), on the north side of Alaska at Point Franklin, 13'/, fm. (Murdoch), the Bering Straits, west side 

 of Alaska to Shumagin, also at the Aleutian Isl. (Mary Rathbun), Queen Charlotte Islands, 15—8 fm. 

 (S. I. Smith), northern Japan at Hakodate (Stimpson), Sea of Ochotsk (Brandt), and the most easterly part 

 of the north coast of Asia (Stuxberg).

Occurrence. The "Ingolf has brought this species home from two localities: 



West .side of Iceland: St. 87: 65° 02' N. L., 23° 56' W. L. no fm., temp. ?; 2 spec. 



North of Iceland: St. 127: 66° 33'N. L., 20° 05' W. L., 44 fm., temp. 5-6°; 3 spec. 



This small characteristic species is not found at West or East Greenland. At Iceland it has 

 been taken on all four sides of the Island (Vestmannaoer, Reykjavik, Faxe Fjord, Dyre Fjord, Skage- 

 strand Bay, Ofjord, Skjalfandi, Finne Fjord, Seydis Fjord, Faskrud Fjord), in depths from 6 to 119 fm.; 

 it is common at the Fseroes (Trangisvaag, Ande Fjord, Kalbak Fjord, Thorshavn and further from 

 land) in ca. 8 to 100 fm. 



Distribution. It occurs from the Shetlands and Hebrides (Norman), to Northumberland 

 (Norman) and Norfolk (Metzger), the Irish Sea (Walker), at Jersey (Norman) and west coast of Holland 

 (Metzger). In Denmark the species has been taken in the Great Belt, 24 fm., (Metzger), southern 

 Kattegat (Meinert), Skager Rak (Metzger); also at Bohuslan (Goes), along the coast of Norway (M. 

 Sars), at East Finmark (Norman), on the western part of the Murman coast to the entrance to the 

 White Sea (Birula, Doflein), lastly on the west side of Spitzbergen at 77° 2372' N. L., 24° 07' E. L. in 

 40 fm. (Doflein). On the east coast of America it begins somewhat south of Cape Cod at ca. 41° lo'N.L. 

 and goes northwards to Nova Scotia and the estuary of St. Lawrence; it is found from 4 fm. or even 

 at the ebb margin out to 50 fm. and 52—90 fm. (Smith). Further, it has been taken at numerous 

 localities in the Bering Islands, the Aleutians and Alaskan peninsula — i. e. along the south boundary
