Marine Flankton from the East-Greenland Sea. 285 



In most of the samples it occurred together with Cocx. pelagica, 

 but it did not occur in greater quantities, perhaps because it is so 

 small that it is only in a small part caught by the nets. 



C. Silicoflagellatæ. 



Distephamis Stöhr, 1880. 



5. Distephanus speculum (Ehrbg.) Haeckel, Challenger Rep., 

 Radiolaria, 1889, p. 1560; Lemmermann, Ber. Deutsch, bot. Ges., 1901, 

 p. 263, pi. XI, figs.; Nord. Plankton, XXI, p. 31, figs. 103— 104. 



Most of the specimens found in the samples must be referred 

 to var. septenarius (Ehbg.) Jørg., f. regularis Lemm., 1. c, fig. 104. 



Found scattered over the area; in 1907 in three samples from 



Danmarks Havn, in 1908 also in the coastal water, and in 1906 in 



three samples in the outer part of the pack-ice. As the specimens 



examined had plasma, they must have been living when caught. 



D i strib, (of the form) Ivarajaktjord in West-Greenland, Baltic; (of the 

 species) oceanic species of worldwide occurrence, but hardly arctic.
