Distribution: Nectocrangon lar has a rather restricted 

 range witMn the Arctic Ocean. It has been obtained in the 

 Behring Sea, ofF Alaska, >Arctic Ocean» (Owen), Smith Sound, 

 Baffin Bay, Davis Strait, Labrador, New Fouudland, Nova 

 Scotia, East Greenland. But from this coast, where it seems 

 to be rare, only five specimens having been previonsly recorded 

 (Hansen), as far as the Behring Sea. no specimen has hitherto 

 occurred within the whole of this lar^e area. 



It is found mostly on muddy bottom, so that Kröyer 

 first called it by the specific name argilicola v^hich, however, 

 must yield priority to the less appropiate lar. It ranges 

 vertically from a few to 120 fathoms. 



Length 95 mm. (st. 39. 1899).
