vol 1, pp. 406 and 403) to be two different species, whilst Stebbing 

 ("Tierreich", p. 222) makes them synonyms. Sars (1. с.) gives the 

 distribution as follows: P. abyssi: "Boeck found this species at 

 Haugesund and Hvitingsø. I have myself met with it in several 

 places off the west coast of Norway, and especially very abundantly 

 in the inner part of the Trondhjemsfjord at Vennæs, where it oc- 

 curred in a depth of 100 to 150 fathoms. It extends northwards to 

 the Lofoten Isles, but has not yet been found off the Finmarken 

 coast. — Distribution: West of Spitzbergen (St. 359 of the Norwegian 

 North-Atl. Exped.), South of Halifax, Nova Scotia (Stebbing)". — 

 The distribution of P. ciispidata Kr. is given by Sars (I.e.) as follows: 

 "Off the coast of Finmark, this form is not rarely met with, in mod- 

 erate depths ranging from 10 — 30 fathoms. I have for instance 

 collected it rather plentifully in the Kronangenfjord, and also in the 

 neighbourhood of Tromsø. It occurs also occasionally off the west 

 coast of Norway, as for instance at Christianssund; and extends, 

 according to Bruzelius, as far south as Bergen. — Distribution: 

 Greenland (Krøyer), Spitzbergen (Goes), Matotschin skar (Stuxberg), 

 Bohuslän (Bruzelius)". — From W. Greenland we only know P. cus- 

 data Kr., which has been taken at 62°58' N., 50°52' W., 25 fm. 

 ("Tjalfe"), Godthaab (ca. 64° N.) (Krøyer), Egedesminde (ca. 68^2° N.) 

 30—40 fm. (H. J. Hansen 1887) and Lille Karajakfjord (ca. 71° N.) 

 (Vanhoffen ; as this author does not have P. cuspidata Buchh. in his 

 1897 list, it is not excluded, that the locality mentioned by him 

 does not refer to this species). From E. Greenland, on the other 

 hand, both species are known; P. cuspidata Kr. has been taken by 

 the Danmark Exped., P. abyssi at N. Shannon (ca. 75^2° N.) 35 fm. 

 (Buchholz). P. cusp. Kr. has also been taken at Jan Mayen (Koelbel) 

 and at Franz Josephs Land (Scott 1899). 



Pardalisca tenuipes has been taken as new for Greenland by the 

 Danmark Exped. Elsewhere it has been found only "sparingly in a 

 few places off the west coast of Norway, as also in the Trondhjems- 

 fjord, and only in depths ranging from 50 — 100 fathoms (Sars "Ac- 

 count", vol 1, p. 405). 



Moera Louéni is known from W. Greenland only from Disko 

 Island, 301 m. (H. J. Hansen 1887) ; elsewhere, from Spitzbergen, N. 

 Norway, Bohuslän, Kattegat, Scotland. 



Melita dentata is known from N. W. Greenland to Jugor Skar, 

 but is not found N. of Siberia (Stuxberg). It is also found at New- 

 foundland (Chevreux, "Hirondelle" 1900), Norway N. of Karmøen, 

 Bohuslän, Kattegat and the British Isles. Further, it has been taken 

 in Puget Sound in the Northern Pacific (Walker, Transact. Liverpool 

 Biol. Soc. vol 12, 1898, p. 282).
