52 AXEL OHLIN, ARCTIO CRTTSTACEA. 



As synonymous with Hippolyte tnrgidd Smith considers 

 Hippolyte vihrans Stimpson, aud, witli a sign of interrogation, 

 Hix^polyte ochotcnsis Brandt. 



In regard to the priority of turgida or Fhippsii Stebbing 

 r£marks, in Ms usual humourons style, that it >has been as 

 a rule set aside, probably under the idea that the raale 

 was so obviously the superior animal that no rules of nomen- 

 clature could compete with its claim to preferential note». 



This species is widely distributed within the Arctic sea. 

 It has been obtained at East Greenland, West Clreenland as 

 far north as Port Foulke, lat. 78' 17' N., Grinnell Land in 

 lat. 81° 44' N., Baffin Land, Labrador, Nova Scotia, East 

 coast of United States as far south as Massach^^setts Bay, 

 Arctic North America and Behring Sea, Sea of Okhotsk (?), 

 Arctic coast of Siberia, Kära Sea, Nova Zembla, Franz Joseph 

 Land (?), White Sea, Spitzbergen, Northern coasts of Norway, 

 althongh rare south of the Arctic Circle. 



Hansen, on reasons which he puts forwards in his Mala- 

 costraca marina Groenlandice occidentalis regards this species 

 as an inhabitant of the coast, living commonly in depths 

 from three up to 25 fathoms, and oecurring spontaneously 

 perhaps in deeper water, but hardly in more than 60 fathoms. 



Length of greatest spec. (from stat. 13, 1898) 41 mm. 



The specimens from Tromsö, although fullgrown, were 

 all much smaller, attaining about half that length.
