The third and largest specimen measures about 8 mm., the 
legs a little more than 40 m.m. The form of the oculiferous tuber- 
cle of this speeimen is different from the form as is generally ob- 
served, being very short and blunt (Fig. 19). In Fig. 21 I figured 
the palp, with the third joint longer than the second , and the fourth 
and fifth considerably swollen and furnished with very small hairs. 
In Fig. 20 a drawing is given of the two last joints of the leg; 
the first tarsal joint is’ distinetly, though not very considerably, 
longer than the second; the second joint is furnished with very 
strong spines on the inner margin and shows auxiliary claws half 
as long as the claw. 
This speeimen is also a male. In Fig. 17 I figured the mandi- 
bles with the very short claws; forming — as is mentioned above — 
one of the most characteristie features of this species. 
The following list gives the stations, where this species was 
dredged. 
Station N°.3 (first eruise: 1878). Lat. 74° 20' N; long. 18° 30’ E.; 
July 15, 1878. Depth of the sea 25 fathoms. One young speeimen. 
Station N’. 14 (first eruise: 1878). Lat. 73° 25’ N.; long. # 55° E. 
(Matotschkin-Shar); Aug. 23, 1878. Depth of the sea 2—12 fathoms. 
One male, not quite adult specimen. . 
Station N°. 13 (second ceruise: 1879). Lat. 71°23'N.; long. 49° 
38' E.; July 31, 1879. Depth of the sea 67 fathoms; temperature of 
the bottom — 1°C. One male specimen. 
Observations. The range of this species seems to be the following. 
North Sea (Böhm , Pyenogoniden des Museums zu Berlin , 1879), Coast 
of Norway (Kröyer), Barents Sea, Novaja-Semlja, Bear-Island, East- 
Coast of Greenland (Fabrieius, Buchholz), North-Georgian Islands 
(Sabine, Suppl. to the Appendix etc. p. CCXXV, 1824), Coast of 
North-America from the Gulf of St. Lawrence as far south as Long- 
Island-Sound (Wilson, Pyenogonida of New-England, Trans. Connect. 
Acad. Vol. V. p. 21. 1880). As to its occurrence in the North Sea 
I feel not quite certain, because the N. grossipes has hitherto always 
been confused with the Nymphon gracile, Leach (Johnston). As the 
latter is a common species in the North Sea, on the Dutch and the
