Distrihution : TMs beautiful species seems to be widely 

 clistribnted both in the North Atlantic Ocean and in tbe 

 adjaceut parts of the Arctic. It has been obtained during 

 the »Porcupines Expedition off the coast of Portugal. Norman 

 mention.? it from the Bay of Biscay and from the British 

 Isles, and Särs from the whole of the Norwegian coast, 

 where it occurs, in some localities, at the surface, in such 

 väst swarms that the sea gets thereby a peculiar brownish 

 tint. Smith states the same fact on the east coast of New 

 England and Nova Scotia, where it goes as far south as 

 Massachusetts Bay. Buchholz and Hansen enumerate it from 

 the sea E. of Grreenland, Koelbel from Jan Mayen, and GoÉs 

 from Bohuslän and lat. 75 N., long. 12 E. It also occurs 

 in Fseröe Channel (Murray fide Norman) and off the Naze 

 (Metzger). Särs reports it from the North Polar Basiu, 

 where it was taken during the famous »Fram» Expedition.
