44 AXEL OIIIJN, ARCTTC CRUSTACEA. 



gat N. of Fyen. It has been foiind in the Christiania-, Sogne-, 

 and Salten Fjords by Särs, in the Kära Sea (Stuxberg), on 

 the coast of West Greenland (Hansen), and on the East coast 

 of North America (Harger?). Thus it cannot be regarded as 

 a true Arctic species. Its centre of distribution probabl}'^ 

 belongs to the North Atlantic whence it has been carried l)y 

 the Gnlf vStreani to more Northern regions. It generally 

 lives in moderate depths, or, rather, in shallow water, from 

 8 to about 100 fathoms. The greatest depth from which, as 

 far as I am aware, it has been dredged, is 410 fathoms in 

 the Umanak Fjord, West Grreenland (Hansen).

Of this species a single female with well-developed mar- 

 snpium was dredged by me during the Spitzbergen Expedi- 

 tion at 



stat. 7. lat. 77° 25' N., long. 27 30' E., N. of Hopa Island, depth 

 160 m., bottom temp. — l,7i C, brown-yellowish clay, 

 23/ VI, 1898. 



Sars has described this species after a specimen obtained 

 during the fourth Swedish Spitzbergen Expedition 1868 »in 

 mari arctico juxta Spets bergiam in profundidate 540 orgy- 

 arum». As far as I know this is the only record of its oc- 

 currence hitherto published.
