It has been recorded from two places at Grinnell Land, the most northern locality being at 

 LaL 7944' N. (Miers), and was taken at several places off West Greenland and in the eastern part of 

 the Baffin Bay between LaL jViX N. and LaL oo^i' N. (several authors); in all six places north of 

 LaL 77 N. the depths were from 15-30 to 50 fath., but in Baffin Bay they were from 100 to 199 fath. 

 Furthermore it has been secured by the "Thor" south of Iceland: LaL 63i5' N, Long. aa23' W., 119- 

 172 fath., i spec; and by Admiral Wandel at four places viz.: North of Iceland in the Skagestrand 

 Bay, 119 fath, temp. 3-9, i spec; East of Iceland: LaL 63i5'N., Long. 935' W., 270 fath., 6 spec.; 

 nearer to Iceland off Seydis Fjord, 135 fath, 2 spec.; finally East of the Faeroes: LaL 6i23'N, Long.

At East Greenland M. tyfica has been taken by Danish and foreign expeditions at ten places 

 between LaL O925' N. and LaL 773i'N.; at two of these places it was secured by the Ilnd Amdrup- 

 Exped, viz. in Turner Sound, LaL 6944' N, about 3 fath., and in Hurry Inlet, LaL 7O5o' N-, 7 o fath. 

 in a net for catching eels; the eight other localities have been put together by Stephensen (1913), and 

 their depths were from 525 fath. down to 167 fath. 



Distribution. Recorded from the Fseroe Channel, 540 fath. (Norman), from Skager Rak be- 

 tween Jutland and Norway in depths from no to 340 fath. (Meinert, H.J.H.), along the whole coast 

 of Norway from Christiania Fjord to Vadso, 60 to 400 fath. (G. O. Sars), besides in the sea west of 

 Norway at three stations in the cold area, 350 to 417 fath. and one station in the warm area, 220 fath, 

 temp. 6t> (G. O. Sars). Furthermore taken between Beeren Eiland and Norway, 217 fath, temp. 2 

 (Ohlin); north-west of Beeren Eiland, 658 fath, temp, -j- 1-2 (G. O. Sars); in several places at Spitzber- 

 gen, northwards to LaL 8ii4' N, from 58 and down to 175 fath. (Sars. Ohlin); in the Barents Sea, 

 62 to 180 fath. (Hoek, Weber); at Franz Joseph Land, 230 fath. (T.Scott) and somewhat more south- 

 wards (Heller), near the south coast of Novaya Zemlya, about 50 fath. (Steppers), in the Kara Sea, 

 30 loo fath. (Stuxberg, H.J.H.) and eastwards to Long. 784o' E. (Stuxbergi. - Furthermore it has 

 been gathered in Arctic America, viz. at LaL 76^ N, Long. 8839' W. (G. O. Sars), and at two places 

 on the west coast of Baffin Bay, between 5 and 28 fath. (Ohliu); finally in the Gulf of SL Iawrence, 

 in the Bay of Fundy, 60 fath, and off New England (various authors). 



This species lives certainly on or near the bottom; in cold places it has frequently been taken 

 in depths from a few and down to about 50 fath, but in warm water it occurs scarcely in lesser 

 depths than 60 to 120 fath, in the wanu area it has been taken in depths down to 420 fnth.. while 

 in the cold area it occurred even in 698 fath.
