Occurrence. The "Ingolf has taken this species at four stations.

According to the data in Malac. Groenl, later finds and a statement by Ohlin, the species is 

 not rare along the west coast of Greenland in the region from Godhavn at 69° 14' N. L. to Godthaab, 

 64° ii'N. L., in depths from 4 to 40 fm.; it has never been found on the east coast of Greenland nor 

 at Jan Mayen. The species is common all round the coasts of Iceland (for example, it has been taken 

 at Skagi, Stykkisholm, in Patrik Fjord, Dyre Fjord, 0nundar Fjord, 0fjord, Seydis Fjord, Faskrud 

 Fjord etc.) in depths from 3—4 fm. to 80 fm.; it is likewise very common at the Fscroes from 1 — 3 fm. 

 to 60 fm. 



Distribution. The species is common along the whole coast of Great Britain (Caiman), and 

 has been taken at the Channel Islands (Norman), in Holland (Hoek), on the eastern side of the North 

 Sea, in the Skager Rak and Kattegat, from there some distance into the Sound, within the Belts 

 (Meinert) and in the most western part of the Baltic, in Kiel Bay and Eckernforde Bay (Mobius); also, 

 along the whole coast of Norway (M. Sars); (Nordgaard notes it fronr a number of Norwegian fjords 

 and from depths of ca. 10 to 160 fm.), on the coast of the western part of the Murman Sea and in 

 the White Sea (Birula). On the east coast of America the species is found at Labrador, in the St. 

 Lawrence, at Nova Scotia and goes further south past Cape Cod to 41° 25' N. L., usually in depths 

 between 10 and 70 fm. (S. I. Smith). A form or variety, /'. Montagui tridens M. Rathbini, is common 

 along the west side of North America from the Bering Sea to 39° N. L., 3—351 fm. (Mary Rathbun). 



This species is common in England in "tide-pools'' and the greatest certain depths for it are 

 116 fm. ("Ingolf" St. 129) and 121 fm. (Rathbun), vSmith's statement (Tran.s. Conn. Acad. Vol. V) of a single 

 occurrence in 430 fm. having to be regarded with some doubt until a trustworthy, new, similar ob- 

 servation has been made in the Atlantic. 



Remarks. The largest specimen I ha\e seen measures 105 nnu. from the tip of the rostrum 

 to the end of the telson; it was taken at 65° 18' N. L., 53°2i'W. L., 65 fm., temp. 1° (Wandel).
