Occurrence. Tlie "Ingolf" has not taken tliis .specie.s. 



It is given from 79° 38' N. L. at Grinnell Land (Mier.s). According to ( )rtniann (1901), Ohlin 

 1 1895) and myself in Alalac. Groenl. the species is common through Smith Sound, on both sides of 

 liaffin Uay and along the east coa.st of Davis Straits; the numerous depths noted all lie between 

 2—3 fm. to 30—40 fm., but it is doubtful as yet whether depths a little greater are correct, as the 

 specimen,s, which certainly at times live pelagically, might be taken in the a])paratus on hauling in. 

 At East Greenland it is likewise common; it was repeatedl}- taken at Tasiusak and a little north of 

 this to 66' 15' N. L. (i*' Amdrup E-xped.), further m enormous numbers in the eel-.seine in 7—0 fm. at 

 70° 50' N. L., 22"3i'W. L., and two specimens at Sabine Islands: 74i,',° N. L., 18'/,° W. L. (2'"' Amdru]) 

 Exped.); Buchholz had already noted it from the last-named locality and from Cape Philip P.rooke 

 (74°56'N. L., 17° 36' W. L.); Ohlin gives it from 4 East Greenland localities, lying respectively in 

 Scoresby Sound and north of Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord. It was also taken b>- the 2'"' Amdrup Ex- 

 pedition at Jan i\Ia\en, where it had been obser\ed pre\-iousl\- in cpiite enormous cpiantities (G. O. 

 Sars). P'urther, according to material in the Copenhagen Museum, it has often been taken at Iceland, 

 both on its west coast (Reykjavik and Eaxe Fjord), north coast (Onundar Fjord, C)fjord) and east 

 coast (Seydis Fjord and Rode Fjord), but has not been met with on its south coast and seems to be 

 absent at the Fteroes. 



Distribution. The species is arctic. It is known from West Finmark (Sp. Schneider), East 

 Finmark (G. O. Sars), Murman Sea, Sea of Kara and Siberian Arctic Ocean to the east as far as 

 85° E. E. (Stnxberg); further, it is common round Spitzbergen (several observers). According to Packard 

 it is -'abnudant along the whole coast" of Labrador, but Stimpson's statement of its occurrence on 

 the north-east coast of the .States is extremely doubtful according to Smith. Lastly, it is given from 

 the Bering vSea (Richters). It is usnally found in 2 to 20 fm. and there are several notes of its 

 occurrence in 30—70 fm., but these last I think are not .so reliable, as I believe it possible as already 

 mentioned that the specimens on the occa,sions were taken in the apparatus on hauling in. — The 

 variet\- M. nlicta found in brackish and fresh water is omitted here. 



Remarks. The largest female (from East Greenland at 70' 50' N. L.) is 297 mm. long from 

 front end of rostrum to tip of telson; a large male is 26-4 nun. long. Ohlin reports that his largest 

 specimen from Smith .Sound was ^t^ mm. long.

 Occurrence. The "Ingolf" has not taken this species. 



At West Greenlanil it has sometimes been taken, thus in Disco P.ay, at Goilhavu, Jakobshavn,
