Distribution: — Tliis species seems to be oi an arctic-boreal nature — not arctic, as 

 A. 31. NOR-AIAN states, 1891, p. 120. According to statements formerly made in the literature 

 it occurs:* round Great Britain (G. S. Brady, A. M. Norman and D. Robertson), along 

 the west and north coasts of Scandinavia (W. LiLLJEBORG, G. 0. Sars, A. M. Norman), in 

 the Kara Sea and off the Murman coast (G. 0. Sars and H. J. HANSEN), at Franz Josef Land 

 (Til. ScuTT), Spitzbergen {W. LiLLJEBORG, G. 0. Sars), Jan Mayen (G. 0. Sars), Greenland 

 (\V. LiLLJEBORG, C. AuRlviLLiLS, E. Vamiofken, K. Steffensen) and north of North America, 

 lat. 77" N., long. 71" 37' W. (W. Baird). 



Relation to hydrographical conditions: — According to the results arrived at by the 

 ,,Conseil perm, intern at. pour I'e x p 1 o r. de la mer", collected by C. Apstein, 

 1911, this species is restricted to comparatively low temperatures. It had been observed at 

 8,20 " C and + 1,3" C. As is shown by the information given by me above, it has been found 

 at a still lower temperature — 1,45" C. Salinity: from 35 to 19,96 "/uo.

* Not on the coast of Finland. This information, which is found in G. VV. .Muller's woik of I'JOl, p. 10, 

 is certainly a mistake; presumably il is, as is already pointed out by C. Apstki.n, 19H, p. 168, a misprint for 

 Finnurken. Not in the Bay of Biscay, as G. W. Mli.i.er stales, 1912. Tliis statiineni, taken from G. S. I3U.\uy's 

 work of 1871, p. 292, refers to another species; cf. above,
