tively southern range» — — — »in the Arctic regions of 
Europe». It was not before known actually to belong to the 
fish-fauna of Spitzbergen. 'The present collections thus extend 
the limits of its distribution in a very remarkable degree as 
it is found as well north as south of Spitzbergen and, south 
of King Charles Land.
