Geographical distribiitiou: Baffin Land (Nilsson 

 1894), North Greenland (Ohlin), West Greenland (Hansen), 

 East Greenland (Swed. Arctic Exp. 1890), Jan Mayen (Norw. 

 North Atl. Exp., Swed. Arctic Exp. 1899), Finmarken (Saiis), 

 King Charles Island (Swed. Arctic Exp. 1898), the Kära Sea, 

 Siberian Sea (Vega Exp.). It has not as yet been o1)tained 

 in the Behring Sea nor in the North American Archipelago. 

 Along the Norwegian coast it has not been observed south 

 of Lofoten Islands. It must therefore be regarded as a true 

 Arctic form. It seems to be most common ofF the coasts of 

 West- and East Greenland, as niay be found by the lists of 

 localities published by Hansen and myself. It is curious that 

 it is not obtained on West Spitzbergen, the fjords of which 

 have been so well explored during the last half century. 



It lives in rather shallow water (until 200 fathoms) and 

 on a sandy bottom with clay and mud.

Additiunal note. 



It was not until the above was printed, that I became, 

 through the kindness of the author, acquainted with an im- 

 portant work of Jules Bonnier: Edriophthalnies; Resultats 

 Scientifiques de la Campagne tlu »Caudan» dans le Golfe de 

 Gascogne; Annales de L'Université de Lyon, 1896. Here we 

 find described and figured no less than four new species of 

 Eurycope, one of which, viz. Eiinjcope complancda seems to 

 be nearly allied with Eurijcopt Hanscni. They are, however, 

 to be distinguished by the rostrum, the first joint of the an- 

 tennula.% the female operculum, and certain other peculiarities.
