CRUSTACEA MALACOSTRACA. 



Occurrence. The "Ingolf" lias not found this species, but in 1903 it was twice taken by 

 the "Thor" a Uttle to the south of Iceland: namely: 63° 15' N. L., 22°23'W. L., 114— 173 fni. and 63° 16' 

 N. L., i9°57'W. L., 137—207 fm. 



Distribution. Caiman gives the species from two lochs on the west coast of Scotland, from 

 Rockall and off the south-west coast of Ireland. The depths were from 40 to 214 fm. Caullery gives 

 it from the Bay of Gascony in depths from 95 to 638 fm. Sars and Appellof notes it from Drobak in 

 Christiania Fjord, from Bergen, Sogue Fjord and Aalesund, thus up to ca. 62^/2 N. L,., depths 60— 23ofm.; 

 further, it is given from Salten Fjord ca. 6773N. L., 170—200 fm. (Nordgaard); I have seen one specimen 

 taken to the west of the most southern part of Norway: 58° 32' N. L., 4° 18' E. L,., 149 fm. (Joh. Schmidt).

Occurrence. It has not been taken by the "Ingolf. I have only seen a single specimen, 

 taken at Trangisvaag in the most southern part of the Fseroes, 8—9^/2 fm. (Dr. F. Jorgensen). 



Distribution. The sj^ecies is common at Shetland (Norman), is met with all round the coasts 

 of Great Britain (Caiman), and is found on the northern and north-western coasts of France (Bonnier). 

 It has several times been taken in the Mediterranean, thus at the Cyclades (Adensamer), in the 

 Adriatic Sea at several places (Heller, Adensamer), on the east coast of Sardinia (Senna), the depth 

 varying from 16 to 235 fm.; according to Senna the ''Travailleur" has taken it (in the Mediterranean?) 

 at 566 fm. In northern seas it has been taken at the coast of Holland, 10 fm. (Hoek), also in the 

 Kattegat and in the northernmost part of the Sound in depths from lo'/z to 26 fm. (Meinert), at 

 Bohuslan (Goes), along the coast of Norway to Malangen, 69° 33' N. L. (Nordgaard); it has not been 

 mentioned from East Finmark by Norman nor by Birnla from the Mnrman Sea. Nordgaard gives 

 numerous localities on the west coast of Norway, but most of the depths are from 100 to 200 fm., in 

 a single case even over 300 fm., which makes me think that the species has perhaps not come into 

 the fi.shing apparatus at the very bottom. Hoek (1. c.) gives it from 74° 16' N. L., 29°47'E. L., 192 fm.; 

 this find is extremely interesting and may be considered correct, it seems to me, as the possibility of 

 an error in determination appears excluded, and we can hardly have doubts as to the locality; according 

 to the chart in the "Norwegian North-Atlantic Expedition" this locality lies within the area with 

 bottom-temperatures over 0°.

 Occurrence. The "Ingolf" has taken this species at 7 stations.
