LAM EIXIBRANCHIATA. 



Morch and preserved in the Museum I have found, that this statement rests on a confusion with 

 C.fasciahim Mtg. ') (el. p. 79 and figs. 9 f, g and h in PI. III). 



The species is thus not known from the Faroes and must he omitted from the fauna list.

The "IngolF has taken this small species at the following places:

[West Greenland. I 



According to Posselt 2 ), there are 5 specimens of C. minimum in the Riksmuseum of Stock- 

 holm, labelled as taken by the Swedish Expedition of 187 1 at Kekertarsuak, which lies at Disko 

 Fjord at 69' , X. I„. I have had the opportunity of seeing one of these specimens and can confirm 

 the correctness of the determination; but on taking the general geographical distribution of the species 

 into account, I feel convinced that some change in the label has taken place, and that the specimens 

 in question do not come from Greenland. 



Iceland. 



The species was not known earlier from Iceland, but in recent years it has been taken (besides 

 at the "Ingolf" stations noted above) at the following places: 



63 15'N.L., 2223' W. L 170—1141111. ca. 1000 spec. 



63°i8' 2i°3o' 94 - 10 & 18 valves.

and stones. 



63 42' X. L., i7°34' W. L 18-40 - 5 valves. 



Has Morch himself been in doubt as to the correctness of the determination, since he has not included C. edule 

 111 his summary at the end of his paper, or has he simply forgotten 5
