Observations. The range of this species is a very wide one: it has been 
found by Kröyer in the neighbourhood of the Coast of Norway; it isa 
very common representative of the fauna of the Barents Sea; it oceurs 
on the East Coast of Greenland (Heller, l.c. and Miers l.c. who 
describes specimens from Floeberg Beach at Lat. 82° 27’ N); Sars 
observed it at different stations between Iceland and Norway; Wil- 
son in the neighbourhood of the North American coast. 
The greatest depth from which Wilson took it is 90 fathoms, 
Miers mentions specimens from 10 to 80 fathoms, Sars from 299 
and 417 fathoms. In the Barents Sea the species seems to be common 
at a depth of from 110 to 160 fathoms.

The near relation of N. mixtum Kröyer and N. brevitarse Kr. 
with the N. grossipes, Oth. Fabr. has been pointed out by Wilson 
(l.c. p. 21). He calls Nymphon grossipes a species “in most of its 
characters, extremely variable.” Especially the tarsus varies consid- 
erably and as this is the case with specimens of the same collec- 
tion and dredged at the same or nearly the same locality, and 
as these specimens in other regards, in habitus etc. agree well with
