This gigantic Munnopsid was obtained only at one lo- 



cality, viz. 



stat. 34. kt. 78 50' X., long. 29' 39' E., King Cbarles' Island, deptb 

 60 — 70 ra., soft grayisb-black clay, 17/VIII 1898, five spec, 

 all of them more or less iucomplete, and some more fragments 

 (togetber witb Munnopsis typica and Calathura hrachiata). 



It was obtained the first time by the Norwegian North 

 Atlantic Expedition at seven stations from lat. 63° 5' N. to 

 lat. 80' 3' N., all belonging to the cold area, except the last 

 one, situated some miles N. E. of Spitzbergen, where the 

 bottom temperature rose to + 1,1" C. Then it is mentioned 

 by HoEK from the Barents Sea, and by Hansen in great 

 abundance from the Kära Sea. According to Särs, Stuxberg 

 has also found it off the Siberian coast. Its vertical range 

 is from about förty metres to 1200 m.

This species is very closely allied to Eurycope cornuta 

 G. O. Sars, but differs in the foUowing points. It is of a 

 miich greater size, my largest specimens attaining a length of 

 9 mm. and a breadth of 4 mm., whereas Norwegian specimens 

 of E. corrmta only reach a length of 4 mm. On the whole, it 

 is also of a more oblong shape. Caudal segment comparatively 

 longer and narrower at the end. The epimers of the first four 

 segments of mesosome longer than in E. cornuta. The inner
