N. B. Af en Bemærkning i Leeiii's bekjendte Værk over 

 Finmarkens Lapper (Kbhvn. 1767), p. 315, sjTies den alle- 

 rede i forrige Aarhundrede at have været erholdt og kjendt 

 af Fiskerne i disse Landsdele. Nordhavs-Expeditionens 

 Individ var optaget paa Havet sj'dvest for Beeren Eilaud. 

 paa det betydelige Dyb af omtrent 450 Favne; sandsynlig- 

 vis vil denne Art vise sig ikke at mangle paa nogen til- 

 svarende Dybde i de arctiske Trakter mellem Europa og 

 America.

 From an observation . in Leera's well-known work on the 

 Lapps of Finmark (Copenhagen 1767), p. 315, it would 

 appear to have been known and captured by fishermen 

 in those localities as early as the last century. The example* 

 obtained on the Expedition was taken in the open sea, 

 south-west of Beeren Eilaud, at the very considerable depth 

 of 450 fathoms; probably, the species is nowhere wanting 

 at corresponding depths in any of . the Arctic tracts stretch- 

 ing between Europe and America.
