ADDITIONAL RECORD 
Sluice at entrance to Kittys Cove and tide rip, St. Andrews, New Brunswick, 
3-12 feet, August 25, 1913, R. W. Miner and H. Mueller colls., 1 female (frag- 
ments) (AMNH). 
A relatively stable and uniform species, for this genus. It is the 
most delicate and clean limbed of the common New England Nymph- 
ons. Ovigerous males have been taken in October. 
Distribution —In the western Atlantic this species is restricted 
primarily to the Gulf of Maine, where its usual bathymetric range is 
16 to 155 fathoms. Stephensen gives Cape Hatteras as the southern 
limit of its distribution. This appears to be derived from Norman’s 
distribution table of North Atlantic pycnogonids, which consigned 
our local species to a category titled ““N. E. America to 35°.”” The 
Albatross record from station 2212 is the only known occurrence south 
of Cape Cod, but it is considerably north of Cape Hatteras. Nymphon 
longitarse has been identified from the Sea of Japan and Peter the 
Great Bay (1600-1690 meters) by Losina-Losinsky, and from Japanese 
waters by Ohshima. Hilton (1942a) mentions the species from 
Alaskan waters. Evidently it is a cireumpolar, low Arctic species.
