This species is represented by six small specimens from 

 Inglefield Gulf; the largest measures 61 millim. in length 

 and the smallest 31 millim. 



Concerning its geographical distribution, Collett * states 

 that the species exists in a relatively southern region. In 

 the Arctic Ocean of Europe it is not caught further to the 

 north than in station 326 of the Norwegian North- Atlantic 

 Expedition at 75° 31/ N. lat., and Nares's Expedition did 

 not obtain any specimen between 78° and 83° N. lat. The 

 comparatively numerous occurrence of this species in Inglefield 

 Gulf, between 77° and 78°, proves that it is more distributed 

 northwards than has hitherto been supposed, although it 

 perhaps ought to be looked for in those latitudes chiefly at a 

 lesser depth.

Only two specimens were collected during the Expedition; 

 both are females and are not well preserved. 

 Northumberland Island and Ingleneld Gulf.

Thirteen small specimens were caught in " Fjaren " 

 (that part of the shore laid bare by ebb) at Godhavn ; their 

 size does not exceed 3 centim. Most of them belong to 

 Collett's variety hemigymnus^, distinguished by the absence of 

 osseous plates on the tail and on the greater part of the sides 

 of the body, as well as by the presence of ridges on both sides
