 Spirontocaris polaris, Norman (1894). 



Specimens which Professor S. I. Smith has identified with this species 

 have been dredged in the Bay of Fundy by Professor Verrill in 1870, and 

 the U. S. Fish Commission in 1872; at several localities on the Atlantic 

 coast of Nova Scotia, in from 16 to 100 fathoms, by the U. S. Fish Commis- 

 sion in 1877 ; in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, off Cap des Rosiers light- 

 house, in 35 fathoms, by the writer in 1871 ; in the Strait of Belle Isle and 

 Atlantic coast of Labrador, by Packard and the Stearns expedition ; and in 

 Hudson Strait, at Port Burwell, Cape Chudleigh, by Bell. To the southward 

 and northward of these localities its geographical range appears to be essen- 

 tially the same as that of the two preceding species.
