the iirst time by G. O. Särs at a place oif the Norwegian 

 coast at a depth of 250 fathoras. Låter on, two mutilated 

 specimens were taken during the Norwegian North Atlantic 

 Expedition between Beeren Eiland and Finmark, and "W. of 

 Spitzbergen, in depths of resp. 191 and 416 fathoms. Birula 

 mentions it in his memoir on Decapoda from the White Sea 

 and the Murman Coast. It seems every where to be very scarce.

This magnificent Caridian was first obtained in four spe- 

 cimens during the third cruise of the Norwegian North At- 

 lantic Expedition at stat. 295 between Jan Mayen and Fin- 

 marken from a depth of 1110 fathoms. Remains of two 

 other specimens were, after the return of the expedition,

 297 lying a litte farther west and from no less than 1280 

 fathoms. My specimens are from the same cold area, although 

 the stations are situated somewhat farther north. From no

Some of my specimens were females carrying roe in 

 different stages of development beneath the abdomen. In
