Distribution. The species has previously been recorded fairly conunon in the eastern part of 

 the north polar basin crossed by Nan sen; specimens were found as far north as 85 LaL N., and 

 here near the surface; at the other stations they were found at considerable depth. From Spitsbergen 

 it has been recorded by Mrazek. In the ocean lying between vSpitzbergen and Greenland it was 

 found fairly connnon from altogether 18 stations, scattered all over the area crossed by the Ducd'Or- 

 leans as far north as 80° Iv. N. 2=47 L. K. ; its range was between lOO and 700 meters in depth. In the 

 Norwegian vSea it was found a few times between iMumarken and Jan i\Ia\eu between 500 and 1000
