Observations. About this species Prof. G. O. Sars writes to me, that 
it is: “die ohne Vergleichung häufigste Pycnogonide an den grossen 
Tiefen der kalten Area’’ and with the material brought home with the 
W. Barents I am quite able to confirm this assertion. The highest 
latitude at which G. O. Sars dredged this species is 64° 36’ (long. 
10° 21',5 W.), whereas Dr. Sluiter dredged numerous specimens at 
a latitude of 75° 16’ and long. 45° 19’ E. 
The depth from which this species hitherto has been brought 
up is largest for the places of smaller latitude. So Sir Wyville 
Thomson met with the species at a Lat. of 60°, where the depth 
of the sea was 480 fathoms, at 64° 36’ Lat. (Sars) the depth was 
299 and at 72°—75° Lat. (Cruises W. Barents) the depth varies 
between 124 and 160 fathoms.
