﻿CRUvSTACKA JIALACOSTRACA. 67 



Further, two si^ecinn-iis were taken l)y the "Michael Sars" at 63° 3' N. L,., 6° 32' W. L., 975 fiii.. 

 temp. -^ 0-51°. 



Distribution. The .species was founded on specimens from a station between Jan Mayen 

 and Finmark, mo fm., temp. ^ 1-3°; it was also taken in the stomach of Rhodichthys regina in the 

 same waters in 1280 fm. (G. O. Sars). OliHn gives it from three locaHties, one being between Green- 

 land and Jan Wayen, depth 1064 fiu., the second near the west coast of vSpitzbcrgcn: 76"36'N.L., 12° 10' 

 E. L., 930 fm., temp. -^ i^*^, the third almost midway between Spitzbergen and Ea.st Greenland: 77° 52' 

 N.L., 3° 5' W. L., 1462 fm., temp. -^ 1-4°. Birula mentions a .single specimen from 79''4i' N. L,., 4°58'E. L., 

 1560 fm., temp, -f- i-i°. The species has thus been taken at depths from 495 fm. to about 1560 fm. 

 with bottom-temperatures between 4- o-6^ and ~ 1-4° in the waters between the Faeroes, Iceland, 

 Norway, Spitzbergen and East Greenland with negative bottom-temperature at considerable depths. 



Remarks. The largest specimens I have are females with eggs from St. 104, 117 and 118, 

 and the}' measure 87 — 87-5 mm. From St. 119 there is a female with eggs 81 nuu. long, from St. 105 

 a similar female 73-5 mm., from St. 125 aud 140 two females with eggs 75 lum. long and from the 

 last station a female with eggs only 69 mm. long. Sars gives the length "up to 95 mm."; I must 

 suppose that he has measured from the tip of the rostnnu (not, as suggested by Ohlin, from the 

 end of the anteunal scale) to the end of the telson. — The autennal scale varies a little in form witli 

 th.e size of the animal : its terminal margin is less oblique and scarcely so curved in the large speci- 

 mens as in the small, and distally it is a trifle broader in the large than in the small si)eciniens.

Occurrence. The "Ingolf has taken this species at 8 stations. Just as for the previous 

 species, the stations lie in the Northern Ocean, within an area which to the east is bounded by a 

 line from Jan Ma>en to the Fa;roes and also extends so far to the west as to pass to the north round 

 the north-eastern end of Iceland and southward round liast Iceland down to the Fceroes. The stations 

 are as follows: 



St. 116: 70° 05' N. L., 8° 26' W. L., 371 fm., temp. ^o'4°; great quantity of .spec.
