(H. J. Hansen 1909); it thus seems to belong to the cold area plus 

 the Norwegian Channel. 



Ascorhynchus abyssi is distributed in about the whole cold area 

 (Lönnberg 1903). 



Nymphon megalops seems to occur everywhere in the cold area, 

 as it is known from E. Greenland to N. W. of Finmarken and from 

 S. W. of Spitzbergen to the Færoe-Shetland Channel. The localities 

 are the following: E.Greenland: 64°24' N., 35°14'W., 707 fm., 1.46° С 

 (at Angniagsalik) and 65°39' N., 28°26' W., 553 fm. (Meinert "Ingolf"); 

 besides from 4 miles E. to Seidisfjord (Iceland), 135 fm. ("Ingolf") 

 and E. of Iceland 64^39' N., ir22'W., 547 m., —0.3 С (Sars: "Nor- 

 wegian North-Atlantic Exped."). At the Færoes: 6Г23' N., 5°04'W., 

 225 fm., 0" C, 62°58' N., 7°09' W., 388 fm., —0.4" C, 63°26' N., 7°56' W., 

 471 fm., -O.ir С ("Ingolf"). Off Storeggen: 63^10' N., 5°0' E., 763 m., 

 — 1.0° C, N. W. of Finmarken 7Г25' N., 15ЧГ E., 1134 m., 1.0° С 

 and S.W. of Spitzbergen 76°34'N., 12°5Г E., 1359 m., —1.2° С (Sars: 

 "Norwegian North Atlantic Exped."). 



Eurycyde hispida has a similar distribution, but goes farther east, 

 being taken at the Murman Coast (Jarzynsky) and in the Kara Sea 

 (H.J.Hansen "Dijmphna" 1887, and "Vega" Exped.). 



Colossendeis proboscidea has been included in this group not 

 without doubt. It certainly has its main distribution in the cold 

 area (Möbius in "Fauna arctica" and Norman 1908), but it goes to 

 the east as far as north of Siberia (Stuxberg "Vega") and is found 

 in arctic North America (Sabine). It is not found in deep water off 

 W. Greenland, but on the other hand at the coast S. of the ridge 

 in Davis Strait: 65 27' N., 54°45' W., 67 fm. (Meinert "Ingolf"). The 

 species thus seems to be circumpolar. 



Colossendeis angiista is widely distributed in the cold area and 

 at the N. coast of N. America N. to 38° N. ("Fauna arctica" and 

 Lönnberg 1903).
